Forbes magazine has increased Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth by another $6 billion.

That makes Zuckerberg the third richest guy in technology. He does trail behind Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Oracle’s Larry Ellision.

If we are really comparing it also means that he is richer than Steve Jobs of Apple and Google’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin. This new valuation was on the basis of investment made by GSV Capital. They bought 225,000 shares of Facebook at a price of $29.28 per share. Since that news broke out, GSV stock has gone up by 40%. As of today Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth was set at $18 billion.

Of course, this whole fortune is on paper only and the real value of Facebook will be known only after it goes public. Still, great going Zuckerberg!

Lamborghini’s next hypercar has made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show, and dare we say what a hypercar it is! The new Bull God will feature an earth shattering 700hp V12 and the highest power to weight ratio of any car in its class. Yes, this is the new, long waited Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

“Aventador” was, according to the best detective work we can muster, a bull whose career peaked in 1993 in the town of Saragozza, Spain, when he and the torero had a particularly spirited encounter prior to ol’ Aventador’s inevitable skewering. This particular beastie belonged to the breeding stables of the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides and, for unknown reasons surely banal, he bore the number 32 singed on his hide. And now he gets the strongest Lamborghini ever built named after him. And about damned time! The British were getting tired of mispronouncing “Murcièlago” over the past ten years and now they have a new proper name to mutilate.

The new 691-hp (SAE), 6.5-litre V12 engine out back – called “L539″ in Lambo-speak – is a massive 40 lbs. lighter than the Murcièlago engine, sits 2.8 inches lower in the chassis, is nine percent more powerful, and produces upwards of 20 percent better fuel efficiency in the hands of the right driver (for a whopping 13.7 mpg average). Dry weight of an Aventador is now just 3,472 lbs. compared to the Murcièlago’s 3,671 lbs., a healthy five percent reduction in a class segment where weight loss is a crucial and constant challenge. Weight distribution is a predictable 43 percent front and 57 rear.

Bombardier Aerospace reaffirmed its influence on the large business jet category by introducing two new jets, the Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft. These large cabin aircraft will feature GE’s new emission cutting TechX engine.



The Canadian company’s flagship Global aircraft family covers the large, ultra-long-range category with

four aircraft models, the Global 5000, Global Express XRS, Global 7000 and 8000 jets. The Global 7000

will have a 7,300 nm range, while the Global 8000 will be able to fly a globe-girdling 7,900 nm.

“Bombardier’s commitment to innovation, ongoing investment in product development strategy and

strength as the industry leader are key contributors to our overall success,” said Steve Ridolfi, president,

Bombardier Business Aircraft. “By extending this great aircraft family, we are once again offering a business jet travel experience that is unmatched and ahead of its time.”

Bombardier first introduced the Global Express in 1996, starting what is now a family of ultra-long-range aircraft. Bombardier’s new Global 7000 and 8000 will feature an all-new high-speed transonic wing, designed

to significantly optimize aerodynamic efficiency.

The GE TechX engine on the Global 7000 and 8000 will offer improved efficiency, including reduced NOX emissions that are 50 percent below ICAO’s upcoming Civil Aircraft Emissions Protocol (CAEP-6) regulations and 8-percent better fuel efficiency overall when compared to the Global Express XRS.

“The Global 7000 and Global 8000 jets will give our customers the ability to reach more destinations

non-stop than ever before,” said Ridolfi.

Featuring a high-speed cruise of M 0.90, the aircraft are designed to be able to connect to more key

cities non-stop around the world through a combination of range, fuel efficiency and balanced field length.

Global 7000 and 8000 will also feature spacious cabins, including enlarged windows and an innovative

approach to cabin zones, which increases customer’s flexibility and choice when defining their floor plan.

Looks and sounds beautiful!

We hear that Bombardier is aiming to take Gulfstream’s place as king of the skies as the worlds most expensive business jet. They are set to launch two new models. The Global 7000 and 8000, which will cost around $65 million apiece, will beat the high-speed range of the $58.5 million Gulfstream G650.

New Bombardier Jets

They are going to have to make a song called “Like a Global 8″ in replace of ‘Like a G6 from Far east movement lol. Both new private jets will have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90; the 7000 will have a range of 7,300 nmi at Mach 0.85, while the 8000′s range will top out at 7,900 nmi at Mach 0.85. Both will borrow elements from the existing Global Express XRS and 5000.

Besides being the world’s most expensive private jets, these fuel efficient models will also steal some other titles. The 7000 is all set to have the largest cabin in business aviation while the 8,000 will brag of the longest range.

The new models with luxury fittings and amenities are designed to cater to the high flyer’s in India, Asia and UAE. The 7000 has a capacity to hold 10 passengers while the 8000 can accommodate 8 passengers. However, Gulfstream need not burst into a sweat yet as the first of these models is expected to be ready for delivery only by 2016.

The well known hotel company Ritz Carlton wants a go at the tallest hotel in the world. The city is which they plan to erect the massive hotel is non other than Hong Kong, the jewel of China!

Ritz Carlton Hong Kong

The hotel will occupy the top stories (102 to 118) of the International Commerce Center , Kowloon. A plush hotel, it will boast of 312 rooms including a lavish 365sqm Ritz-Carlton Suite. Besides the guest rooms, the hotel is said to feature six dining venues and an alfresco rooftop bar. Like every luxury hotel this hotel too hopes to paper its guests with an 860sm spa christened the ESPA, a fully equipped fitness center and an indoor pool on the 118th floor. Offering scenic views of the Victoria Harbor and Hong Kong Island, this hotel will truly be the place to be when it is ready.

Do you like what this Dubai resident did to an already super hot Mercedes SL65? It seemed that he was not satisfied with what i though was in already perfect auto! He asked non other than Brabus to fine tune his SL65 Black Series. This personalized, one-off Black Series is called the Vanish and features a modest black matte finish.

When thinking of the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series, it’s only natural to think of a model that exemplifies the tuning prowess of AMG.  Straight from the factory it’s capable of hitting 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and 124 mph in 11.0 seconds before achieving a top speed of an electronically limited 198.8 mph.  For most, that’s plenty of power; but for an unknown Middle Eastern SL65 AMG Black Series owner, it was just the starting point.

The end result is a said bump in power of some 130 hp – taking the SL65 Black’s standard 670 hp to the 800 hp mark.  Larger turbos, a new gearbox, larger brake pads and an upgraded exhaust system are attributed to making it all possible. As for the result of the power boost, BRABUS hasn’t quoted specifics, but it likely shaves a few tenths off the acceleration times while removing the speed limiter likely bumps top speed well into the 200+ mph range.

It was only a matter of time before someone dropped the ice bomb on one of Apple’s MacBook Air Laptops and im glad they did. Designed by non other than Stuart Hughes, this MacBook Air Surpreme Ice Edition is much heavier in weight as it in price. Well you have to pay for the bling! Two and a half kilograms of Platinum sit on top of the front of this baby. The Famous Apple logo is highlighted with 25.5 cts of ‘I’F’ Flawless 53 diamonds. The rest of the body is balanced off with a sophisticated polished Aluminum finish. Priced at around $210,000, this amazing Macbook will be available in a limited edition of only ten. Hey it’s not fun if everyone can have or afford one right?? Let them Envy you at your first day of school!

The hybrid version of the 599 GTB is expected to be revealed during the 2010 Geneva International Auto Show in March. Rumor has it that the hybrid 599 will use a modified version of the Kinetic Energy Retrieval System that was employed in Formula 1 racing in 2009 but discontinued in 2010. If that’s the case, an electric motor will be added to the car’s drivetrain that will act as a generator during braking to recover some energy, which would then be stored in a battery and used to boost performance on demand.

Overall a reduction of about 35% in fuel consumption (equivalent to about 17 litres per 100km) will be achieved.

What do you think about Apple’s new iPad? I love the new design and the fact that its so flat is amazing. The best thing about it is that its a touch screen and looks like a big iPhone or iPod.  Another great feature  is when the iPad is turned it will adjust to portrait or landscape viewing, thats pretty cool!!

A large, high-resolution LED-backlit IPS display. An incredibly responsive Multi-Touch screen. And an amazingly powerful Apple-designed chip. All in a design that’s thin and light enough to take anywhere. iPad isn’t just the best device of its kind. It’s a whole new kind of device.
