Those who are looking forward to a singing extravaganza session on their Xbox 360 later this year with the Lips title will be able to do so in style when the limited edition Lips microphones are launched, featuring Swarovski crystals all over for that added touch of bling. The look is professionally done thanks to Crystal Roc who is best known for its line of crystal-studded musical instruments, such as those created for divas and celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Rihanna and Leona Lewis among others. When we said limited edition, we really mean so as there will only be a hundred of these around. Each pair of microphones will feature over 1,000 Xillion Rose crystals, hence the $680 price point.
These pairs of microphones are decorated with the technique patented by Crystallized Swarovski and have more than 1000 Xillion Rose crystals etched on them. The microphones come in a limited edition of 100 units with the price tag showing 680 USD. Because, as we all know, bad taste is pretty expensive.
As for Lips, it is a game for the Xbox 360 developed by iNiS and published by none other than Microsoft Game Studios. Similar to games such as SingStar and Karaoke Revolution, the release prides with its realistic lip-syncing simulation since no matter how badly you sing (to the point where you can just be silent), you can never lose.

French researchers have nearly succeeded in commercially developing a hydrogen fuel cell for use as a backup power source for mobile phones, thus easing dependence on an electricity supply to charge the gadgets.
The miniature fuel cell uses a hydrogen-filled cartridge about the size of a small cigarette lighter, according to the researchers at the Atomic Energy Commission which has its headquarters in Saclay in northern France. The gadget, designed to be carried in a belt pouch, has been in gestation since 2005 with a semi-conductor technology company, STMicroelectronics. The cartridges are being developed by the company Bic, which makes pens, lighters and razors. The product is designed to be part of a “hybrid” system in which the cell phone first draws on the conventional battery for its power and then taps into the fuel cell if needed. Each cartridge gives the equivalent of three to five recharges of the traditional battery.

A rare, flawless blue diamond that was once part of the legendary De Beers Millennium Collection sold for $6.4 million.
The 5.16 carat pear-shaped diamond was the first gem of its kind to appear in an auction from the collection that De Beers, the world’s largest diamond producer, presented in 2000 to celebrate the millennium.
Auctioneers Sotheby’s had priced the diamond at between $4.6 million and $5.8 million and it was sold in Hong Kong to London-based gem merchant Alisa Moussaieff who said she was satisfied with the price. “It’s an individual thing and people have got to like it and people have got to see the value in it, but we do see the value and I hope our clients will see the value as well,” she said.
The De Beers Millennium Collection comprised 12 rare gems and took decades to assemble. Blue diamonds are among the rarest of all gems and owe their natural colour to the presence of the chemical element boron during the stone’s formation.
The diamond was the star lot of a gem sale by Sotheby’s, which said it had had deliberately kept prices conservative to attract bidding in a still fragile economy.
“I think what people are actually looking for are rare objects of high quality that are hard to find on the market,” said Patti Wong, Sotheby’s Asia Director. “So when we assembled the sale we were very mindful that the economy out there may not have fully recovered so we were very conservative with our estimates and clients responded very well to that and competed accordingly.”
The overall auction raised $52.4 million, a figure Sotheby’s said was the highest total ever for a sale of this category.
The auction’s location probably helped: China is one of the world’s largest and fastest growing diamond markets, with jewellers forecasting it will be the next big purchaser of rare jewels as its economy surges while the rest of the the world still grapples with the global financial meltdown.
In May 2009, a 7.03 carat cushion-shaped flawless blue diamond set the world record price per carat for any gemstone at a Sotheby’s Geneva auction when it was bought by a Hong Kong collector for $9.48 million dollars.
