Yes, it's a $10,000 phone. Why? Why not! Do we question man's desire to set forth and conquer new lands? Do we question our strive to push our bodies to heretofore unknown limits? We are human! This is what we do! A €7,250 cellphone that is sort of ugly as sin, lacks a touch screen, and has a memory on par with your first PC? You guys, that is basically like walking on the moon. ...

What makes an iPhone 4 worth $8 million? Ask Stuart Hughes, the British designer behind this diamond-encrusted remake of the popular Apple smartphone. Of course, 500 individual flawless diamonds and a platinum navigation button with an embedded single 7.4-carat pink diamond have got to be worth something, right? Oh, and it comes in a box that, according to Hughes, "is made from a single block of ...

If websites could be personified, Greensound Technology would likely resemble an immaculately dressed member of the gentility, haughtily hoisting its nose in the air and extending an erect pinkie finger from a dainty cup of tea. The company's transparent glass speakers certainly possess aesthetic, and perhaps commercial merits, but the company's use of "sophisticated" and "elegant" in its ...

In '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,' Captain Nemo and his crew roam the depths of the ocean aboard their Nautilus submarine, enduring whirlpools, giant squid attacks and less than luxurious living conditions along the way. In 2010, though, traveling aboard a new, revamped Nautilus VAS is bound to be a substantially more comfortable experience -- assuming you've got the $2 million or so to drop on ...

Like many folks, we've spent our fair share of cash in the iPhone's App Store. From the useful to the useless, it's hard to resist loading up your cell phone with applications. Well, at least until you receive that bank statement at the end of the month. So, just how much can somebody spend with one touch of the screen, you might ask? Costing $999, 'BarMax CA' is the world's most expensive ...

Comic-Con is the Garden of Eden for nerds, and what do nerds love most of all? Collectible toys. From hand-painted action figures to life-sized statues, they'll vacuum seal it or enclose it in a glass case, never laying a hand on the goodies again. An expensive hobby, for sure, and nowhere is that more apparent than at Comic-Con. The bloggers at io9 compiled a list of the 17 most expensive toys ...

While certainly not the most expensive iPod we've ever seen, the limited edition Prince Opus iPod touch is definitely amongst the priciest. Sold only as part of an ultra rare kit that includes a luxurious book of Prince photographs from Kraken Opus, this touch (of unknown capacity) comes preloaded with 40 minutes of "exclusive" footage along with a live soundtrack from 'Indigo Nights.' Of ...

What's the most expensive domain name on the Internet? It's not 'Porn.com,' which comes in a close second, but 'Fund.com,' at nearly $10 million. Using data from the Domain Name Journal, ABC News put together this list of top 10 most expensive URLs on the Web: 1. Fund.com, $9.99 million 2. Porn.com, $9.5 million 3. Diamonds.com, $7.5 million 4. Toys.com, $5.1 million 5. Vodka.com, $3 million 6. ...

It used to be that you could pretty much get any address on the Web for free (or a small administration fee), but those days are long over. Now, if a company wants the perfect Web address for a new site, they may well have to shell out quite a bit of money. While most domain names (aka Web addresses) are still relatively inexpensive, there are a few that are well out of the average surfer's ...

We've definitely seen more expensive earphone covers in our day, but these are certainly amongst the most pricey 'buds out there. A single set of these Casa Gi-designed earbuds are currently being sold in Bristol for £3,499 ($5,253), and all that money goes towards 59 diamonds (per bud) and an 18-carat gold coating. Quite frankly, we tend to feel that these are pretty garish, but we've no ...

This ain't the first time Furutech has cranked out a cable beyond the realm of feasibility, and sadly we doubt it'll be the last. What you're looking at above is undoubtedly the sexiest, most desirable power cable this world has ever seen. Unfortunately, that bad boy isn't getting shipped to you unless you funnel $1,800 out of your bank account and into Furutech's. The brand new Piezo Powerflux ...

Maria Sharapova has already had her greatness spread over a number of Motorola handsets, but now the tennis queen is partnering up with long-time associate Canon in order to make five lucky individuals extraordinarily happy. As part of an elaborate marketing scheme, Canon and Maria (but mostly Canon) are cranking up a contest in which five Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS's are given away. But these ...

If you've been wondering what to get your rich, caffeine-addicted, bling-loving uncle for his birthday, we've got the perfect gift. Feast your eyes on the Nespresso Crystal Edition coffee machine. This decadent espresso making machine is encrusted with 3,100 Swarovski crystals, which have apparently become little more than accessories for gadgets. For almost $4,000 you get what appears to be a ...

The most sure-fire way to get the attention of tech blogs everywhere is to declare your device "the most ____ ____ ever" or "the smallest _____ ever," even if the claim is questionable at best. But if you can get your claim verified by the 'Guinness Book of World Records,' you're likely to get a bit less cynicism about your product. So a tip of the hat to GoldVish, a Swiss company that has ...

Our never-ending search for items at the Consumer Electronics Show that are true statement pieces continues with a visit to KEF, maker of the Muon -- perhaps ironically named since a muon is a smaller particle than a quark, yet these speakers, evidenced by the picture above, are clearly not tiny. Nor is their price tag. At $140,000 for the pair, the Muon speakers are meant for only the most ...
