Jaguar Bookshelf by Denieuwegeneratie

Jaguar Bookshelf created by Denieuwegeneratie was made of a real Jaguar. Sans engine and other parts this Jaguar is now a shell or rather a shelf, bookshelf. Although I believe that the cars belong outside this Jaguar Bookshelf is definitely an eye-catcher.

The Jaguar Bookshelf was specifically designed for a Dutch Mountain house. What do you think about this transformation? What do you think of the cars being used as interior objects in general?

Panasonic Toughbook SX2 Announced For $2,649

Panasonic has today announced a new version of its Toughbook SX2, which has now been slimmed down but is still hard enough to withstand knocks and bumps.
Panasonic have equipped their new SX2 Toughbook with an Intel Core i5-3320M vPro processor 3MB cache, up to 3.3GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, together with a 12.1 inch LED backlit screen encased in a magnesium alloy body.
The new Panasonic Toughbook SX2 has also been equipped with a high-powered battery that is capable of providing 14.5 hours of use, 720p web camera, 2 x USB 3.0 ports, and includes connectivity for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

 Technology enables many professionals today to work from virtually anywhere, but this freedom creates a new set of issues when users are not equipped with the right tools for the job – device failures mean frustration, lost productivity and revenue, plus substantial repair and replacement costs,” said Kyp Walls, director of product management, Panasonic Solutions for Business. “Like the other computers in our renowned Toughbook line, the Toughbook SX2 is engineered to provide the reliability high value professionals require with the portability they desire.”
The new Panasonic Toughbook will be arriving in stores later this month for around $2,649, and its lid and base have been designed to withstand more than 220 lbs (100 kgf) of pressure. For more information jump over to the Panasonic website for full specifications.

Apple To Launch iPad Mini On October 23rd (Rumor)

We were expecting Apple to send out invites to their iPad Mini launch event this week, unfortunately that did not happen, and now according to AllThingsD, Apple will launch their new iPad Mini on October the 23rd.
Apple normally holds its iPad and iPhone events on a Wednesday, although according to AllThingsD the event will now be held on Tuesday the 23rd of October, which is just a couple of days before Microsoft’s Windows 8 and Surface tablet launch date.

 The iPad Mini is rumored to feature a smaller 7.85 inch display which is rumored to feature a 16:9 aspect ratio, the device is also rumored to feature Apple’s new Lightning dock connector.

If the event is being held on Tuesday the 23rd of October, then we can expect Apple to start sending invites out the the event some time next week, as soon as we get some more information we will let you guys know.

Samsung Galaxy Note II press event scheduled for October 24th

It’s time once again to get excited about the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the “Next Big Thing” from Samsung, in a press event made to cradle the device right in its New York City embrace. This is one of a long line of “Word Tour” events for the Galaxy Note II, recently confirmed for several carriers here in the USA. This event will take place on the 24th of October and will very likely contain additional details on the final release of this device across the states.


What we’re seeing here is not a whole lot new other than what’s essentially a confirmation that the device won’t be changing much as it crosses the ocean to hit the USA. You’ve still got the S-Pen and the massive 5.5-inch display, you’re still working with that lovely new nature-inspired body and software, and you still have the Pebble Blue color option. For those of you looking to get a glimpse of the Galaxy Note II before it hits our shores, don’t miss our Samsung Galaxy Note II in-depth Review.
What we’re likely going to see here is a lovely presentation of what each different carrier here in the USA will be bringing to the device as far as apps go – though it’s likely that the presentation that’ll be made will cover the features we know about, for the most part, that exist on each different carrier iteration of the device. This massive beast works to integrate the Samsung universe with a body that’s extremely similar to the Samsung Galaxy S III, a device that’ll likely be getting another partner later this week on the 12th with the Galaxy S III Mini.
The Galaxy Note II takes what the first Galaxy Note had and increases its excellence with a slightly larger display an a more universally compatible pixel aspect ratio at 1280 x 720. You’ll be having just as fun a time fitting this device into your pocket with its massive body and a slightly modified S-Pen as well. Those of you familiar with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 will recognize this new pen’s configuration as it’s essentially the same model as that device brought forth. Get pumped up!
