New Macbook goes Green!

With the “going-green” fad becoming so prevalent in today's society, it has become necessary for many companies to take on this initiative in addition to the general public.

The new MacBook has been built using materials that are highly recyclable and free of many of the harmful substances present in other computers. Apple engineers also designed the software and hardware to work together, in order to maximize energy efficiency and minimize the carbon footprint of the MacBook. Even the packaging was reconsidered and reduced, producing smaller boxes to ship and less material to recycle.

Apple MacBook iPhone Diamond Bling Fest

While I was browsing GetItNext to find myself a brand new 3g iPhone, I stumbled upon this truly amazing auction from TraxNYC. The company is selling a top of the line Men’s Diamond Ring, Cross, Bracelet and Watch along with a Mac Book Pro and the highly desired iPhone.  Not sure how it all ties together but in this economy why not do the opposite of reality and aim high.  Maybe their target market is all the Yankees fans that sit in the new legends seats. 

Here is a link to the bling fest if you want to view the actual listing: Diamond iPhone MacBook.

Listing details: the diamond ring, which is claimed to be one of the finest on the market, contains 7 huge stones surrounded by an array of smaller diamonds giving it a fully covered diamond surface for ultimate shine. The auction also describes the one of a kind cross and bracelet. The cross displays a fully invisible concave setting, one of the most popular diamond settings on the market today. The bracelet is another true masterpiece; the surface is 100% fully iced with pave set VS Stones set in 14k gold. On top of all this cool ‘Bling-Bling’ you also the coolest gadgets, an iPhone and Macbook Pro!
