iView’s iiView A2 netbook is hitting Singapore next week and it looks very similar to Apple’s MacBook Air. On the outside atleast. Other than coming in a gloss white finish, it’s similar in the fact that it’s sleek, slim in its form. On the inside, however, there’s an ocean of differences, including the fact that it runs Windows 7 RC1 and comes with a Vista license so you can upgrade to W7 when time comes. As far as specs are concerned, they’re not too different than the other netbooks on the market with its Intel Atom processor and 320GB HDD.

iiView A2 also has 2GB RAM, a 12.1-inch display with 1200 x 800-pixel resolution, two USB ports, mini-HDMI port, 2-in-1 headphone/mic jack, and a six-cell battery. With a $467.78 price tag, it just may be the sleekest netbook my eyes have been blessed to see.

Mjolk’s S/S 2010 collection is a solid lineup of a wide range of amazingly designed pieces. Although the Australian brand’s moved to NYC, it still takes much influence from the Far East and it shows. The collection’s going to be worth the wait, as it presents a palette of colors and a timeless appeal.

A fashion photographer, graphic designer and all-around artist whose work strongly influenced the fashion and collective imagination of the day, Harri Peccinotti coined the Pirelli-calendar idiom of gleaming bodies and strong, sleek sexuality. Peccinotti was born in 1938 and has served as Art Director of Flair, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Vogue and Nova–one of the most influential magazines of the 1960s, which introduced epoch-making changes in graphics, formats and photo editing. From his celebrated sunflower for the 1968 Pirelli calendar to his famous nude immersed in a bathtub of green water, H.P. presents a broad selection of shots published in fashion magazines, together with page proofs, book jackets and album covers created by Peccinotti over a period of about 40 years.

You can grab the book for $43 from Amazon.  (more…)

From Lomography comes the return of their LC-A analogue camera. It’s been 25 years since the iconic LOMO LC-A graced the analogue world with its colourful, extraordinarily beautiful pictures framed with vignettes. It’s the same pocket-sized, robust, Minitar-eyed LOMO LC-A+ that we’ve loved, capable of bringing you jawdropping pictures with the deepest saturation and punchy contrast, and shadowy vignettes, which is a look that’s distinctly LOMO. The Anniversary Edition boasts a textured skin and the 25th Anniversary badge on its body.

I personally love beautiful homes in remote locations. The Villa 1 is located in the middle of a forest in Holland, making it the perfect getaway. It looks simple enough from the angle above but wait ’til you get a closer look. The interior of the home is well designed and the garage reminds us of Tony Starks’ home in Iron Man.

Well, isn’t that something. Leica‘s flagship DSLR is hitting select UK shelves in October with 37.5 megapixels and a pricetag just as stunning.

Lenses will cost you anywhere from £3,096 to £5,160 so be sure to crack open all of your piggy banks for this endeavor.

Known for its solid lineup of cameras, Leica‘s unveiled the Pinmaster Rangefinder, hoping to help golfers get “closest to the pin.” As SwipeLife explains, “closest to the pin” is a contest that involves getting tee shots that make it on the green the closest distance to the flagstick, and is a staple of charity golf tournaments, corporate outings and amateur golf tourneys. “The Pinmaster Rangefinder is a tool that gives golfers the upper hand by measuring the exact distance to the pin. With a range of up to 820 yards, all the user needs to do is aim the Pinmaster’s eye-safe laser beam at the pin. It also features a 7x magnification and a large field view of 347 feet at a distance of 1,000 yards (ideal for playing peeping tom).”

The rangefinder Leica Pinmaster comes standard with a storage pouch, a battery and a cord of transportation for approximately 550 euros.
