Inspired by Mount Fuji, Taisei Construction Corporation has completed designs for construction of the world’s tallest building. The X-Seed 4000 (no idea where that came from) would stand at approximately 13,123 feet (4 km), nearly 700 feet (213 m) taller than the real Mount Fuji. The next tallest buildings don’t even break 2,000 feet, how puny! While likely to never be built, the X-Seed would have up to 800 floors, and be capable of housing between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people.
Unlike conventional skyscrapers, the X-Seed 4000 would be required to actively protect its occupants from considerable air pressure gradations and weather fluctuations along its massive elevation. Its design calls for the use of solar power to maintain internal environmental conditions. Some estimate that the cost to construct the X-Seed 4000 structure may be somewhere between $300-900 billion US dollars.
Now I’m no astronomer or anything, but if I learned anything in grade school, it’s that 13,123 feet is pretty much the distance to the sun. Which means that the top floor would be perfect for a natural sauna. You heard it here first, if they end up doing that I want credit.
In cell phone news, a man’s Nokia 2115i apparently exploded an hour and a half after he connected it to it’s AC charger at home. Now I’m no pyrotechnician or anything, I’m just a guy who loves fireworks, but based on the movement of the phone from its original position, the damage it took from the blast, and the smoke and soot on the floor, I’m going to throw out my own little theory here. That theory is that someone was trying to kill this man. Probably a disgruntled ex-girlfriend or wife. If it did in fact explode on its own, then wow. And if so, I just ordered one off of ebay for my (soon to be ex) wife. You didn’t read this. I didn’t just say that. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Oh, nuts.
You’ve seen the BioShock review , now check out aPC vs. Xbox 360 graphics comparison.
If Apple had held an iPhone design contest, this is what the device could have looked like — iPhone V.2 ?
Put simply, this LEGO aircraft carrier is one of the most detailed models we’ve ever come across. See for yourself :
Hitting T-Mobile this October is Motorola’s latest handset, the Zanta. At $269, it features a 2.4-inch QVGA display, 1.3-megapixel camera, QWERTY keypad, EDGE, miniSD card slot, 128MB built-in memory, and Bluetooth.Even while it is as gleaming and shares the same EDGE connectivity (this time by T-Mobile), it doesn’t seem to compete with the [iPhone], including only 128MB of internal Flash RAM. Its only expansion slot just can handle MiniSD cards up to 2GB.
