The £1.92 MILLION iPhone

More money than sense? No… wait a LOT more money than sense? You'll want one of these fabulous… (or horribly tacky and vulgar, depending on your point of view), customised iPhones.

It's £1.92 Mil price tag places it within the reach of only the super rich… we're talking winning the Euro Millions roll-over jackpot here, not just lottery winners. 190 diamonds, 22 carat gold case (which will probably block any wireless reception), I could go on, but quite frankly I find this way over the top luxury a little obscene. If you've got that kind of cash sloshing about may I recommend Channel 4's brilliant Secret Millionaire – appear on this, spend what you would have done on the phone, you'll feel better about yourself than you will ever do pulling this flashy piece of trash out your pocket. Personal guarantee on that.

Swine Flu Infographics

You know the old adage of a picture being worth a thousand words… well it holds true for a good infographic too. 

London based author, writer and designer David McCandless has a passion for taking complicated data, and turning it into beautifully represented informative graphics. 

His infographic website information is beautiful is a constantly informative and interesting read. And he's got a book out, but he's not too happy about it. Sorry to hear that David.

As an added bonus, and just to show there's nothing new under the sun, here's a remarkably modern looking infographic created by Florence Nightingale, created back in 1858. From Cool Infographics.
