From smug asshole and (possibly) Nazi extraordinaire Armin Heinrich comes the most ridiculous iPhone app of all time. It costs $999, which is the highest priced application available, and does not do anything. It displays a glowing red gem. Know why? Because you’re rich. In fact, that’s what the app is called. I Am Rich. Yup.

Apple takes a 30-percent cut of all apps sold on the App Store, so that’s $300 it gets while Armin takes home $600 because he’s a bastard. Bastard.

Here’s something else, furniture called Ripple Series that imitates rippling mercury just like the Vertibral seating imitates spinal structure. It’s from designer Lee J. Rowland who happens to also be an aerospace engineer. And it shows with this out of this world furniture design that uses a three-dimensional machining process along with sheet metal to make these one of a kind desktops.

It’s no surprise these tables are also astronomical in price, ranging from $45,000 to $268,000. Yowza. Impressive Lee, but no thanks, I’d rather buy a condo then put a bunch of furniture made out of corks in it.
