    The Swim Spa Luxema 8000 – if a hot tub is too hot, attach a pool to it

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Two Level Hot Tub
    While most of us struggle to keep up with normal expenses such as food, utility bills, and rent, there are those out there with more money than they know what to do with. Maybe they buy a big house on a private island, or spend a fortune on Doritos and Mountain Dew. Of course, we all have different ways that we would spend mass amounts of money.

    While you could purchase an entire arcade so you never had to put quarters in the machine again, a nice hot tub would also be pleasant. Of course, if you’ve got money to burn, why not get one that has two different levels? The Swim Spa Luxema 8000 is not just hot water and jets, as there’s a 1.48 meter deep pool attached to the back of it. If that doesn’t seem over the top enough for you, there’s also jets galore, an LCD TV and DVD player that come built-in.

    If there’s not enough money in your bank account for you to not blink an eye at parting with over $60,000, then this might be out of your budget range. The upkeep would be an absolute nightmare, and don’t tell me you wouldn’t consider tossing cold water on the people in the hot tub below (or vice versa with your friends). If you are insanely rich and want to splurge on this, there are six seats in the lower part with tons of jets and a headrest for each spot, as well as cup holders and speakers. There are all sorts of options for the interior and exterior plastic, and further customization if you have the money.

    Available for purchase on aqua-saar, found via thisiswhyimbroke

    Digital Storm VANQUISH II gaming PC set to blow your mind away

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    digitalstorm-vanquish-2Gamers do take their hobbies very seriously, which is why from time to time, they do their bit to ensure that their gaming PCs are upgraded with nothing but the very best hardware that is in the industry, or at the very least, what their current budget permits. Digital Storm has certainly whipped up a storm (pardon the expression) with the unveiling of the brand new Vanquish II gaming PC that has been specially developed in order to play most of the demanding games that are out there in the market today, and then some.

    Apart from that, the Vanquish II from Digital Storm does go to show that you need not have to spend a fortune on a gaming computer to get started. Sure, the base model with a price tag of $699 might prove to be more expensive than the Xbox One or Sony PS4, but PC gaming has always carried with it a different dimension as opposed to pure console gaming, at least according to my experience so far.

    For instance, a “good” configuration will feature an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 1GB graphics card and Intel Core i3 4330 processor, while those with some more money to spare will be able to end up with an “Ultimate” build that has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB graphics card and Intel Core i5 4570 processor, allowing the Vanquish II to deliver a truly immersive gaming experience.

    As for the future, you need not worry since Vanquish II is fully upgradeable and boasts of an open architecture so that gamers will be able to remain ahead of the competition thanks to easy upgrades which will ensure that the system remains on the cutting edge for years to come, hence doing away with your need to add more upgrades so soon after purchase. All Vanquish II units will ship within 72 hours from the moment an order is placed. What are you waiting for?

    Captain America Parachutes In As Skype Emoticon

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Captain America Parachutes In As Skype EmoticonSkype chats has featured emoticons since 2004, and I am quite sure that many of us have memorized the number of fun faces, expressions and icons over the years, simply because they help convey a typed message with greater impact. Of course, living with the same emoticons all the time is going to get boring, which is why the latest version of Skype would introduce emoticons that have adopted new “hidden heroes” alter egos, turning into characters that will star in the upcoming Marvel movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

    ZTE Grand Memo 2 LTE: Video Hands-On

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    The ZTE Grand Memo II is not a phone that is well known in the U.S yet, but upon playing with it at Mobile World Congress 2014, I thought that it was another interesting mid-range smartphone that is set to fight in a ferociously competitive handset market for this year. For consumers, handsets like these mean that it is not necessary to pay top dollars to get a large 6” display, a 3200 mAh battery and a decent Android user experience. (more…)

    Do You Miss Google's Old School Look?

    Yesterday, Google’s desktop search page got a redesign. Now it looks the same as Google’s mobile and tablet search pages—bigger titles and, notably, no more underline for linked text. Did you notice? And if you did, which do you prefer?

    It’s a ‘Star Wars’ snack! Admiral Ackbar cupcakes aren’t a trap

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Even Admiral Ackbar would agree no one could repel the cupcake tastiness of this magnitude.

    Transforming an ordinary cupcake into Admiral Ackbar’s head is simple with a few yellow candy melts, coffee sprinkles, black icing, and cocoa-cinnamon butter cream frosting.

    Jenn from the JustJenn Recipes food blog explains how to make Admiral Ackbar cupcakes. “These cupcakes are sweet and delicious if you can get past Ackbar’s giant eyes staring back at you begging you not to eat him,” Jenn wrote on her blog. “Don’t fall for it — it’s not a trap, IT’S A SNACK!”

    Jenn is quite the Jedi Master chef when it comes to creating “Star Wars” treats. She’s paid tribute to both the Millennium Falcon and its pilot Han Solo in Jell-O. She’s baked a gruesome-yet-tasty severed Wampa arm cake. She’s paid homage to Princess Leia in cupcake form with adorable Oreo hair buns. So Ackbar cupcakes are a nice addition to her portfolio of pastries, cakes, cookies, and other desserts for this galaxy and on… [Read more]

    PetWALK Automatic Pet Door Prevents Wet Paw Marks Around The Home

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    PetWALK Automatic Pet Door Prevents Wet Paw Marks Around The HomeI know for those of us who wear our shoes into the house, there is always a doormat to wipe away whatever dirt that the soles of our shoes have picked up during the day. However, our four legged friends have not been trained to do so, and neither is it their instinct to wipe their paws before they enter your home, which is why a rainy day might result in paw prints all over the place as they make a dash from the wet outside to the warm comfort of your living room. PetWALK knows how irritating cleaning up after your pets can be, which is why they have come up with the PetWALK automatic cat door.
