When a 51" Television Screen Isnt Big Enough |
|
Mitsubishi Electric has completed construction of the worlds largest high-definition video screen at a horse track in Tokyo. The screen employs Mitsubishis Aurora Vision LED technology and measures 11.2 meters (37 feet) x 66.4 meters (218 feet), giving it a surface area of 744 square meters (8,000+ square feet), or the equivalent of 3 tennis courts. Mitsubishi manufactured the screen for the Japan Racing Association (JRA) at its Nagasaki factory in the town of Togitsu, Nagasaki prefecture. The screen was divided into 35 pieces for delivery to the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu, Tokyo.
The bright, high-definition display is 3 times larger than what was previously installed at the horse track, and the screens three sections allow the audience to take in the action at other tracks. Total cost is reported to be 3.2 billion yen (US$28 million). |

Airbus A380 Private Jet |
|
|
The famous quote says that the difference between men and boys is the price
of their toys. When you place a Middle Eastern dignitary in the equation, you'll
have this difference at it's tipping point.
What am I talking about? Well, I am talking about a toy that will cost 150
million dollars, yeap, US$ 150,000,000.00. That's the price of a new Airbus A380
private jet soon to be delivered to this unknown dignitary. Actually, a Flying
Palace fits more the new toy description.
Since last February news and photos of the plane interior are slowly leaking
into the internet.
From Bornrich.org :
Besides the fully-equipped board room, cozy relaxing zone, the pimped-out jet
features a grand entrance, VIP lounge with five couches and a tucked away wet
bar that is fully equipped with a refrigerator, a wine chiller and a microwave
and a dining room with a 70-inch flat screen and 42-inch pop-up monitors. There
is even a secluded area off the private dining room on the upper deck that is
designed to enjoy desert retreats. The jet's 6,640 square-foot cabin is designed
by designer Edese Doret.
