CNBC recently published an article called "Gadgets for the 'One Percent'" spotlighting some of the most extravagant, ornate, and exquisite items in the tech world, from a $2,800 pair of leather-and-wood sound-isolating headphones from Ultrasone to a $2 million personal submarine from Hammacher Schlemmer.
Some of these items are expensive for the sake of being expensive, like a $1 million Luvaglio laptop that can only be unlocked with a fitted diamond.
On the more practical end -- key word "more" -- is the $8,400 Samsung SUR40, a touchscreen desktop computer that's actually a desktop. Or how about the 60 megapixel Hasselblad H4D camera, or the $58,000 Red Epic-M video camera that can shoot at 96 frames per second.
There's even a $10,700 Vertu Signature cell phone that comes with an OnStar-esque "concierge service" and ringtones played by the London Symphony Orchestra. So, we've got to ask: which item is the most ridiculous of them all?

Well.. ONE more thing.. remember folks.. The things we ALL have today were extravagant items just DECADES ago..
Also, in time of socialism, in my country, car was a luxury & conditioner didn't exist in my country, while in US every house & business had one. )
ROFLMAO..
How is that not communist?
He's never lied or apologized about that. Sounds to me like you just hate successful people. If that's the case, you probably shouldn't vote republican.
Just sayin...
Maybe the press will ask Obama what the best tasting breed of dog is, my guess is any type puppy or maybe some short hair breed. Yummy Unbelievable! the president of the United States eats dogs and that's not an issue--if Romney ate a dog the Liberal media would be having a field day
as in "you're" absolutely wrong if you look at the information i gave you and still get "it's the democrats"...
I understand tho... When you've subscribed to a philosophy your whole life, having it spoon fed to you constantly, and never questioning or finding out on your own...
It's hard to let go, even when confronted with the enormity of it's fallacy.
That's why Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are so popular. They rely on brainwashing from a very young age, not facts.
Next time, at least read the opposition's point. You don't have to be scared if it makes since.
Obama just needs to come out and tell people he's rich, and the republican plans would benefit him, and everyone like you would vote democrat, because you're a moron.
he is a total hypocrite.
He says he believes he should pay more... you guys keep refusing to take it.
How does that make HIM the dumbass?
Killyourself.
