World’s First and Only Digital Camera Swim Mask
This is the world’s first and only digital camera and swim mask in one. Designed for underwater photography, it is safely attached to your swim mask. The scheme enables you to swim freely while you take pictures underwater.
Durable tempered glass makes up the camera swim mask’s eyes piece. It also has crosshairs that serve as the camera’s viewfinder. The only thing that the underwater photographer needs to do is to look and shoot. It is even easier than taking pictures in land as through this camera, you don’t have to worry about camera shakes other photography rules and standards.

What Inflation Looks Like
(CNN) -- Zimbabwe's troubled central bank introduced $100 billion banknotes Saturday in a desperate bid to ease the recurrent cash shortages plaguing the inflation-ravaged economy. The bills officially come into circulation Monday, although they were on the foreign currency dealers market Saturday.
As high as they are, though, the bills still aren't enough to buy a loaf of bread. They can buy only four oranges.
The new note is equal to just one U.S. dollarTuesday, December 02, 2008 | 0 Comments
The Greatest Show on Earth!
Kipnis' outer limits theater, or what $6 million will buy.
When it comes to home theaters, I thought I'd seen it all. But nothing's come close to this. First, I'm going to try to describe the sheer magnitude of Jeremy Kipnis' theater. His Stewart Snowmatte laboratory-grade screen is the biggest I've ever seen in a home, and in the back of the theater, there's a Sony ultra-high-resolution (4,096-by-2,160) SRX-S110 digital projector. I'm looking everywhere, jotting down questions, and Kipnis sounds almost giddy talking about his theater's capabilities. He refers to his baby, the Kipnis Studio Standard (KSS), as "The Greatest Show on Earth." And from the looks of it, he may be right.

Sony SRX-S110 Professional Video Projector
