Korean company Yujin Robot has been showing off a coffee barista robot that delivers your coffee with precision and with complete politeness.

For those who believe that technology and robotics will make their life a lot easier than at any time in the past, this is probably something that would not really surprise you.

Although details are sparse the robot has already been given the catchy name CAFERO and has been making the rounds at Robot World 2008, which is currently running in Seoul. There is no date set or even price tag on CAFERO yet. (Photos : Aving)

If you’re in the market for a different kind of laptop system – check out the Singulum laptop system.

Each Singulum system is crafted out of a single block of wood and features a keyboard made out of either ivory of 24 carat solid gold (be careful if you select the ivory as many countries including the US have a strict ban on ivory imports).

Now some of their product pictures on their website seem to infer that there’s a single piece of diamond used like a trackpoint pointer..

The New Zealand company Arvus has come with an exclusively stylish loudspeakers aptly titled “The Prerenaissance”.

Each pair of the loudspeakers has taken hundreds of man hours each and the result is of course extravagant and almost artistic.

Starting from the bottom up, the plinth is made from hand carved granite. Four chambers house a quasi-five-way design and the sound technology offered is a perfect match for the expensive looks. With 6 channels of amplification, the speakers can make up a total of 3000 watts RMS.

The design was inspired by such objects as a exotic cars, the Coke bottle and musical instruments. The angles were chosen to give the speaker a feeling movement and life.
According to Arvus there are dozens of finishing options, from wood (like you see here), painted, carbon fibre, and even stainless steel.

Each pair of The Prerenaissance loudspeakers costs $140,000 (the price includes delivery, setup, and tuning)

Gresso introduced exclusive flash drives Enigma, which come in two versions: Constellation and the Labyrinth.

The Gresso Enigma gives you 192 GB of memory because it holds three flash cards of 64 GB each. Cases are made of two-hundred-year old African black rosewood, and, according to the press release “plenty of fancy diamonds embraced in 18K yellow or white gold.”

Producer alleges that the series will include only 99 items and they sell for 5,000 euros each (average cost of usual flash drives is $300-$400 ^_^ ). Each comes with a rubber strap so it can be worn as a pendant.

All of us would want speakers that symbolises the wealth we posses. Fret not, there’s the Grande Utopia EM! It is an awesome speaker that takes up the responsibility of showing how grand a lifestyle you really want to live. The 4-way floorstanding bass-reflex loudspeakers are enough to make your visitors and guests feel puny and less endowed.

The Grande Utopia EM crosses the limits of decadence by offering an audio quality that is unsurpassed. It offers a mechanical adjustment in order to optimize the “Sweet Spot”, which is apparently the G-Spot of perfect listening. The drivers are another unique feature, with unmatched technology and science going in to each one of them.

If all these specifications were not enough, even King Midas would frown upon you. The speakers retails at a “loud” $180,000.
