Name me one person who would not feel in the seventh heaven if, people on the road not only give a second look to the car that he is driving but keep staring it with admiration? Not one. Right? We all love to be distinguished among others and the only easiest way to do so is to own a Ferrari Concept 2008 car.
The Ferrari Concept 2008 car is designed by Luca Serafini, the author of Lamborghini Embolado Project; the Ferrari concept 2008 is a proposal for a future replacement of the V8-powered F430 model. It has a combination of the current Ferrari like the circular single taillights with stylish cues, and the muscular silhouette and also not to forget the front grille.

Soon, textbook will be just an old school tools, Papyrus will come and replace them all. The idea of Papyrus is based on growing popularity of communication tools such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc, students are more connected than ever these days. Papyrus is an inexpensive e-reader which is designed to allow on screen note taking with a stylus, as well as tagging the content. Students will be able to share these tags and discuss it among them.
One of the most important details about Papyrus is how it is so different from a traditional style tablet PC or PDA. First, the unit is far less expensive at around $100. With a combination of a removal of audio, high-end graphics card, Ethernet port, and a textbook publisher/manufacturer subsidy (due to the subscription based service now that they have no overhead costs of shipping/storage/most manufacturing costs since their books are now digital) the cost is quite reasonable. Second, the device has a much longer battery life (around 30 hours) from using an E-Ink screen. Third, Papyrus’ stripped-down, specialized interface makes it accessible to a broad range of users. It’s simple enough that faculty and other adults won’t be intimidated or annoyed, yet functional enough that students will feel like they’re using something current.
Papyrus can also help student to tackle their fear of drawing attention to themselves. This device will place the students in a familiar environment, giving them a safe and familiar venue to speak out without unwanted attention. And great thing is, Papyrus cost less that textbooks, and also eliminating manufacturing and shipping costs and passing the savings on the students.

The combination of journey, food consumption, and transportation can be very painful. Boxcooler is a backpack fridge with picnic dishes, revalues the cooler and raises it to a modern standard. There are two ways to carry Boxcooler. On one side it can conveniently be carried on the back, so the user?s hands are relieved. On the other side, the cover hinge (which is hollow inside and has access from the back) can be used as a handle. Carabines on the shoulder cushions can be fixed at the headrests inside a car. They ensure an immovable position during the journey. Even in an accident, the product is fixed at the back of the seat and can?t cause any danger.
Thermoelectric Peltier elements replace the traditional ?freezer batteries? which defrost after a while. Therefore, the food inside stays fresh and cool for a longer time. They are supplied by a storage cell which can be reloaded inside the car or at home. Inside the pockets are compact tablets with all the equipment needed for a picnic. A foldable cup, a knife, spoon and fork are moulded into the tablet surface. All these parts are developed to use a minimal amount of space with a maximum of function.

After apartment furnitures in a box, now comes a compact surfboard from Nicholas Notara. The classic surfboard seems to just take up some more space, while you find the time to use it. Notara decided to design a collapsible surfboard to solve the problem. Made from carbon-fiber, designed carefully to maintain the balance and weight of its traditional counterpart, and with the help of 2 pins and a quick release level can halve in size. A very smart concept which I predict will be available soon !
