Comment telling us your suggestions, or even better, you may tell us via Facebook, and include "GenCept_Office" in the message, so we can check it. Alright? I hope you guys enjoy this brief selection. Cheers! ;)

Pitfall Crocodile And Scorpion Pixelated Doormats

While the pixelated pond shape of the Pitfall-inspired crocodile doormat easily makes it the more desirable of the two, if your jungle explorations were constantly brought to an end by the sting of a scorpion, you might have a soft spot for that design instead. Both are made of rubber so it’s easy to hose off any pixelated corpses. (at Oh Gizmo!)

Ligne Roset: 150 Years

Ligne Roset is celebrating their 150th anniversary with a trio of limited edition products, in a run of 150 only each, numbered with a special anniversary logo. First are these two editions of the Pumpkin chair by Pierre Paulin, one in red shades and one in blue shades. The original was designed in 1971 for the drawing rooms of the Elysee Palace and only made available to the general public in 2008. (at Design Milk)

Pac-Man MacBook Decal

What better way to celebrate Pac-Mans 30th birthday than with one of these cool decals, featuring Pac-Man and Blink, Inky and Clyde. (at Geeky Gadgets)

V-Moda Crossfade LP Headphones

You might think those white Apple earbuds are making a statement, but if so, it's a squeal of conformity compared to the roar of rebellion exuded by these V-Moda Crossfade LP Headphones ($250). These bass-tastic cans feature a heavy-duty steel frame, 50mm Dual-Diaphragm High-Definition Drivers, two detachable Kevlar-reinforced fabric cables — including one with an Apple-friendly three-button remote and mic — a flexible memory headband, and a unique, stylish design. Available in white pearl, gunmetal black, or the chrome-covered phantom chrome, otherwise known as "the ear mirrors." (at Uncrate)

Portable Battery Charger

8800mAh Portable Battery Charger – The newest emergency power supply for your laptop and USB devices comes in a highly durable and pocket-sized white case that you can take with you anywhere. (at 7 Gadgets)

Ferrari World, Innovation and Adrenaline in Abu Dhabi

by GenCept | May 30, 2010

Ferrari World is a stunning theme park located 30 minutes away from Abu Dhabi, on Yas Island, in United Arab Emirates. When seeing this project of immense proportions, I immediately thought that it has to be in Dubai, but here’s a country with more than one opulent and extravagant attractions.

The main building’s height is 45 m (147.6 ft) and the total surface area of the roof measures 200,000 m2 (2,152,782 ft2). These are fascinating figures for a theme park. The Ferrari imprinted logo also has impressive dimensions: 65 m x 48.5 m, said to be the largest ever created. Ferrari World will be open to the public starting October 28, 2010. Can you feel the upcoming thrill?

According to the official news we found on the Ferrari site:

“Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is set to be the world’s largest indoor theme park, sitting under a roof designed in the style of a classic double-curve body shell of a Ferrari. There is energy, excitement and passion for the entire family at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. With over 20 rides and attractions, including the world’s fastest roller coaster, Ferrari World is more than a theme park – it is the total Ferrari experience.”

23 Amazing Bedrooms with a Panoramic View of the Ocean

by GenCept | May 29, 2010

Beachfront properties are very desirable for a lot of people because they’re regarded as a rare commodity. Not everyone will have the privilege of owning a piece of property that’s close to the beach because of how limited and expensive such types of properties are. Although properties so close to the Ocean are among the most expensive, they still remain one of the best investments one can make. The property almost always retains its value and is rarely affected by recession or other economic factors. Many people are nervous about buying beach front property because of the frequently high initial cost and the out of the way location.


However the current foreclosure crisis has made now the perfect time to invest in a beautiful piece of beach front property. In today post I don’t want to suggest you to buy a beachfront propriety, but I would like to show you a collection of amazing bedrooms that provide a panoramic view of the ocean, images of clear blue skies and beautiful tropical blue beaches. Some are fortunate enough to live by the ocean and get to enjoy it’s beauty year around, but for those of you who don’t have this privilege here are some amazing bedrooms and of course some amazing panoramic ocean views. Enjoy !
