Noooooooooooo
This blender is what we call squirrel nuts! It turns golf balls in to sand sized granules, turns marbles into dust, and even though we hate to say it it can even shred an iPhone. If you're and apple lover like us geeks at JL think twice before watching because this is a bit graphic and sent shivers down our spine.

World's First Private Spaceport
The just recently released conceptual plans for the World's first private spaceport have all us here at Jetlag marveling over the idea traveling to space in style. The winning design of the New Mexico Spaceport Authority by the notorious Foster & Partners is both ascetically and ecologically pleasing. Carved into the natural landscape of this particular part of New Mexico and making use of skylights and a revolutionary ventilation system Foster & Partners design is a prime example of modern design that not only looks good but functions good too.

An Apple a Day Gets Steve Jobs His Pay
Just when you thought you were healthily up to speed with the latest Apple iPod technology they do it to us again. Today with the release of all new iPods and the new iPod Touch Apple literally throws any other digital music player in the rubbish bin. The iPod Shuffle got a color update, the iPod Nano is now wider, plays videos, and has more storage, and the iPod Classic (as they've named it) now holds 160 GB (Yeah that is not a typo, that's more storage than most computers) of music, videos, and photos. But Apple didn't quit there, they had to give us a whole new iPod dubbed the Touch. The touch is basically the iPhone without the phone. Literally. It has an ultra wide touch screen, cover flow music browsing and even Wi Fi internet capabilities with the Safari internet browser. None of us are going to have money for a while.
