If you are super rich person, then you can buy the Harion Glass Speakers. These speakers were made of Heat-resistant glass manufactured by Hario, a glass maker in Tokyo. Priced at a hefty 16 million yen or approx. $168,000, the speaker system consists of a center speaker, a sub woofer, a couple of tweeters and mid-range speakers. The company also announced that if you order a minimum of ten units of these speakers then you may be able to receive a lower price tag at around $105,000 per unit. However, there is no info about the sound quality of these super expensive speakers. [GearLog]

Fans patiently waiting the launch of the PC version of the blockbuster smash hit GTA IV may be disappointed today to learn that the game will launch with SecuROM 7 DRM, the brutal DRM that tarnished the release of Bioshock and Spore in the last year.
During an interview with IGN, game publisher Rockstar explained its rationale for adding the DRM saying “we invest a considerable amount of time and effort to release each title, and employ a large number of people in the process. Having copy protection allows us to protect the integrity or our titles and future investmentsÂ… SecuROM is the most effective form of disc based copy protection and allows us to manage authenticity on a global level for Grand Theft Auto IV.”
Making it different than past releases however, is the fact that you can install the game as many times as you want, on any amount of PCs. You will need to activate the game online, however, as well as keep Disc 1 in your drive at all times to play the game. If you happen to upgrade your motherboard or even videocard, the game will need to be reactivated.
As with all games that come with SecuROM, Rockstar notes you will not be able to remove the DRM completely from the PC, even after an uninstall. “Some traces will remain,” says the developer, however “we are currently working with SecuROM to post information on our support pages regarding how to remove these inactive traces of the program for users who wish to do so.”
Rockstar also noted that all versions of the game will include the DRM, including the online downloads from Steam.

The extremely popular Amazon Kindle e-book reader won’t be arriving in time for Christmas, says the e-tailer, and those ordering today will receive it in 12 weeks at the earliest.
This marks the second holiday season in a row that there has been a lack of supply of the popular device, but last year Amazon had the excuse that the item was new and production was not yet in full swing.
The Kindle, which is priced at $359 USD and exploded in popularity after Oprah recommended it, “uses an e-paper display to show pages from books and newspapers, which can be purchased and downloaded over its built-in and free data network connection, with the service provided by Sprint.”
In other related news, the Kindle 2, which should improve on many of the features the first generation device lacks, has been delayed until spring 2009.
