German safe builder Stockinger has teamed up with Bentley to create two models of luxury safe. Their creations, the Arnage and the Continental certainly look swank and they come with the security features that you would expect from a top of the line safe - alarms, GPS tracking and that sort of thing. They come in a range of finishes - 10 leather colors and 3 wood colors. Would it surprise you to hear of someone getting robbed for their safe?
Price: You know the drill - if you have to ask there is no way on earth you are going to be able to afford one of these. [Sybarites via Luxury Launches]

The Sensear SP1 Electronic Ear Plugs are designed for folks that work in high-noise environments and by high-noise I mean noisy like a flight deck or a home with a nagging significant other. Such people are going to need to hear things like alarms or music over some extremely loud ambient noise; these ear plugs make that possible; basically they are noise canceling headphones on steroids.
I have no idea what the sound quality of these things would be, but you have to admit it is some awesome technology. Note that if you want a pair, they don’t come cheap.
Price: $441 [Sensear via Crave Asia, Book of Joe and DVICE]

It’s nice to see that one of the top ten annoying alarms has now become a reality.
From the site:
The Hanging Alarm Clock follows on from the huge success of it’s annoying brother, the flying alarm clock, and has got to be one of the best alarm clock designs we’ve ever seen. To use, all you need to do is attach the clock to your ceiling by the supplied cable, set the alarm and fall asleep. When the alarm goes off to the sound of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you reach up to hit the snooze button, and the clock will reel up the 30cm cable in one minute. Each time you snooze it, the hanging alarm clock will wind up another 30cm. The idea is that eventually you will have to drag yourself out of bed to reach the alarm and switch it off. This gradual awakening will gently rouse you from your sleep but also make sure you actually make it out of bed.
Price: £19.99 Approx. €27.13 / $39.86
Availability: Coming Soon

Most people don’t bother keeping track of their electricity meter. You can get a rough idea of how much power you are using by how fast it is spinning, but that is not going to give you any accurate idea about how much you are going to pay each month or quarter (depending on where you live). That is why I think the Energy Detective makes a lot of sense. It tracks your electricity consumption and displays the amount that you have consumed in kilowatts or dollars.
While a skilled techie could probably manage installing the Energy Detective, it is probably better that you leave it in the hands of an electrician. A transmitter needs to be installed inside your mains box. Messing around with live wires is not a good idea unless you know exactly what to do. Once the transmitter is installed, you plug the display unit into any power point in the house in order to receive live updates regarding your electricity consumption. It seems pretty cool if you are not sure how much electricity you actually use. The other thing that you can do with it is to set up alarms, so that it will alert you whenever your usage goes over a predetermined point.
Price: $169.95 for the regular model or $209.95 for 400 Amp model. You can beef up your system with additional display units for $57.00 apiece.
