Swiss watchmaker Zenith has just added to their DEFY XTREME 2009 collection with an exotic limited edition timepiece. Capable of handling extreme gravity conditions, the Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Zero-G features a tourbillon carriage in a free-moving gyroscopic-styled housing. It also includes a series of conical shaped regulator gears so that the tourbillon always points down no matter how it’s positioned, ensuring optimal amplitude for the spiral balance-wheel.

This Zero-G Defy Xtreme also features a multi-layered dial clad in Hesalite glass, carbon fiber and aluminum beneath two sapphire glasses, a protected crown, helium valve and a titanium bracelet. If you’ve got some spare folding money laying around, you can take one of these home for the mind-blowing price of $500,000

The Van Der Led WM2 is a quad-band GSM watch that actually looks good enough to wear. Dare I say it’s even sexy? Watch phones generally do not look this nice. It’s got a tiny 1.3-inch, 260k color touchscreen display, stereo Bluetooth, and boasts up to 240-hours of standby or 300-minutes of talk. Plus 1GB of storage for your MP3 or MP4 files. As usual, transfer data via USB.

The numeric pad makes it easy to use and really stands out and they even kind of resemble studs in the distance. It will cost you about $471 beginning on Monday, which is a bit much but hey it’s got that cool numeric pad.

Google has been recruited by US intelligence agencies to help them better process and share information they gather about suspects.

Agencies such as the National Security Agency have bought servers on which Google-supplied search technology is used to process information gathered by networks of spies around the world.

Google is also providing the search features for a Wikipedia-style site, called Intellipedia, on which agents post information about their targets that can be accessed and appended by colleagues, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The contracts are just a number that have been entered into by Google’s ‘federal government sales team’, that aims to expand the company’s reach beyond its core consumer and enterprise operations. continues…

$54 million is what Raelyn Campbell wants out of Best Buy for her missing laptop, personal data, and her time. The Washington, DC, resident filed a lawsuit against the company after Best Buy allegedly lied to her for months at a time about the status of her machine, then offered her an insultingly low compensation once it acknowledged the loss. Campbell even says that she knows $54 million is outrageous, but it’s apparently the only way to get media attention and put enough pressure on Best Buy to do the right thing.
