A coalition of Japanese architects have said what everyone else was too polite to say: That Zaha Hadid-designed stadium is just too big, too expensive, and too impractical. Japanese officials have announced plans to scale back the design, which would cost $3.1 billion to build according to a recent budget update.

There’s an app for just about everything these days, so when we talk about a device like the Fitbug Orb, it would certainly be quite an interesting topic. While there are dime a dozen of activity trackers that are already available in the market, the Fitbug Orb might stand out from the rest of the crowd in terms of value, wearability and personalized content. It is said to retail for less than half of what the likes of the Jawbone Up, Nike FuelBand SE and Fitbit Flex would cost, and yet offers some pretty decent performance that accompanies it.
We are talking about a $49.95 price tag for the Fitbug Orb, making it the most affordable, feature and service-rich tracker that is available at the moment. Specially designed to expand the health tracking trend without breaking the bank, the Fitbug Orb would be able to advise folks when it comes to achieving their fitness or weight loss goals by merging technology which tracks movement as well as sleep patterns, alongside KiK, a proprietary digital coach which will enable one to set, monitor and where necessary, actually prompt the wearer to act (mostly in a physical manner) to achieve their intended goals.
It will be different from wrist-bound activity trackers, as this discreet button-sized Fitbug Orb can be worn in a variety of ways to suit your existing style or social settings that you are involved in. It does not matter whether it is placed on a belt, wrist, or lanyard, or clipped on or beneath clothing, the Fitbug Orb is small and sophisticated enough to track a wealth of information that range from steps to aerobic steps/time, distance, calories burned, speed and even sleep.
Apart from that, there is also the Bluetooth Smart Orb which will synchronize such information to compatible mobile devices and the KiK digital coach platform. The free Fitbug app will play nice with iOS-powered and select Android-powered handsets, so you know what to do if you are running on Windows Phone or BlackBerry OS!

When it comes to decorating your home, it is always ideal to have a certain central theme to it, as it would make life a whole lot easier when purchasing new decorations and the like. Let’s just say that you like all things retro, especially from the 1950s and 1960s era, what are you going to do with the middle of your living room, now that you have decided to get rid of your life sized Elvis statue? This is where the $25,000 1959 Corvette Billiards Table would come into play. Sure, it does seem to have been priced ludicrously, but then again, you would be playing on a regulation billiards table that boasts of a base which has been molded from an original 1959 Chevrolet Corvette.
Originally constructed in the U.S., this particular billiards table will meticulously reproduce the classic convertible from real chrome bumper to actual chrome bumper. Not only that, you will have a plethora of other options such as a gleaming grille, curves, and working versions of the trademark four headlights that can be illuminated thanks to the included remote control. A quartet of full-size whitewall tires will boast of genuine steel rims and chrome covers that have been ornamented with spinners, while other authentic details include crossed racing flags in the cove area alongside Corvette emblems on the hood and deck lid. The car itself would arrive in the original ’59 Roman Red and Snowcrest White, and carries a tournament-size 4.5′ x 9′ pool table with a three-piece, felt-covered 1″-thick slate surface.
