2009 ferrari california

You’re seeing it for the first time today, GearCravers.  This morning in Maranello, Italy, Ferrari revealed their 2009 California GT.  Ferrari fans will recognize some of the design elements of the classic 1958 Ferrari 250 GT California in the 2009 model, albeit with design-forward character updates.  The 2009 Ferrari California is powered by 4,300cc V8 engine, slated to push this beauty to 60 from zero in less than four seconds.  In the new model, Ferrari has upgraded the luxury and comfort elements of their brand– yet without interior shots, we’ll take them at their word.  Come on, has Ferrari ever done you wrong?  More images after the break.

Gore Design Company Concrete Sinks

May 13th, 2008 No Comments

gore design concrete sinks

Who knew that washing your hands could be an experience. Bend over this sink, you’ll likely spend your free time staring at the cracks, the topography, watching the water sink into the deep drain below. Its like your own little Lake Meade– with roughly defined canyons and blue water seeping away endlessly. Take a step back, and you’ll realize that its just a sink. This, my friends, is the beauty of modern design. A touch of nature in the strangest of places can knock you off the balance of routine faster than you can say “thank you”.

Flicker, flash, fizz– the paparazzi seem to never end amongst the few, the proud, the media elite. The Celebrity Lamp is a welcome homage to this dreadful dance of fame, one that will give a sense of glitz and glam to your home without the photog stalkers. Go ahead and file this one under the “coolest lamp you’ll see in 2008″.

This morning, Nintendo announced a new game channel for the Nintendo Wii called “Wii Ware“.  This includes a suite of “mini games” developed not only by Nintendo, but third party developers and independents.  Among these are games like Final Fantasy, V.I.P. Casino, POP, TV Show King, Defend Your Castle and more.  While this likely won’t strike GearCravers as anything revolutionary, it adds a new, casual dimension to your Wii.  If you’re looking to pass 15 minutes before you head out for the night, or take a break from working around the house, you can load up these short-run titles and do what the Wii was intended for– have fun.  All of the Wii Ware games can be ordered and downloaded from the internet via the Wii’s console system, so no need to head to the store and buy these titles.  They come direct to you in minutes.  Learn more at the Wii Ware page, max out your Wii with some of the new casual, addicting games.

3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator and SpaceExplorer

3d connexion

Three dimensional environments have become common in computing technology. Video games, architectural/industrial design software and even new social environments like Second Life are nearly all explored in 3D. While the environments have evolved, the control technologies have not. Planar control systems, like the mouse in your hand, cannot pitch, yaw, climb and descend in three dimensional space. As a result, the people at Logitech’s 3Dconnexion set out to update the hand control of a mouse with full maneuverability through space. Lift your palm, the cursor follows. Push it forward, the cursor moves. Twist your palm, the cursor rotates… This physical control by 3Dconnexion is set to revolutionize the way immersive 3D environments are explored. Continue reading for our full review of the 3Dconnexion products which we’ve tested, and check back later today– we’re giving away three 3D Connexion systems to GearCrave readers.
