Blinged-Out MacBook Air Costs $40K

Born Rich:

True luxury addicts need look no further than Bling My Thing's new "Golden Age" creation. Unveiled at CeBIT 2008, "Golden Age" is a Macbook Air decked in 12,000 Swarovski crystals. The crystals are even more shiny than usual thanks to a coating of 24k gold applied under each crystal. The translucence of the crystals allows for true layered luxury. Each "Golden Age" takes a week to construct since each and every crystal is hand-applied, so only 20 of these beauties exist, one of which will be for sale at Selfridges, Oxford Street, on March 18th. That is if you can muster up the £20,000 ($39,750) price tag for the mega-bling.

WHAT is it with Swarovski crystals these days? I am still reeling over "Bling H2O"...it's a bottle of WATER that sells for $25 because the bottle is decorated with Swarovski crystals.
I mean...what are you going to do with all of your empty bottles of Bling H2O? Put them in your recycling bin?

Does anyone remember when Apple advertised the Macintosh as being "for the rest of us?" Finally, you have the perfect laptop for surfing the Web while enjoying your $25,000 chocolate sundae at Serendipity 3! I guess Steve Jobs has decided to man the barricades in the War Against the Poor!
