World's Largest Swimming Pool [COOL]

1 lap = 2km!!!

Drawing the crowds in the South American resort of San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, this artificial lagoon and swimming pool is eight hectares in size and contains an incredible 250,000 cubic metres of water. Acknowledged by Guinness World Records as being the world’s largest swimming pool, the lagoon trounces all other record holders in the category, including the Orthlieb pool in Casablanca, Morocco, itself a huge 150 metres by 100 metres – the San Alfonso pool is ten times this size, measuring 1km in length. The revolutionary clear water artificial lagoons, transparent to a depth of 35 metres and unprecedented in design and construction methods, are the brainchild of Crystal Lagoons founder, biochemist and Chilean businessman Fernando Fischmann. Equivalent in size to an incredible 6,000 standard domestic pools, details of its technology are to be unveiled for the first time at Cityscape Dubai.

Steven Holl Architects: Linked Hybrid [ARCHITECTURE]

WOW!

Linked Hybrid, a huge architectural project by Steven Holl, started in 2003 and was just recently completed. 220,000 square meters in size, the complex is located next to the site of the old city wall in Beijing and consists of eight towers connected by skybridges. Each structure holds different public functions and includes 750 apartments, public green space, commercial zones, a hotel, a cinemateque, a kindergarten, Montessori school, and underground parking. The aim of the project was to counter current urban developments by creating an urban space open to the public from all sides. The complex is a “city within a city” and promotes interactive relations and encounters amongst the public. The project was named the “best tall building” in Asia and Australia by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).

Google Announces Chrome OS [GADGETS]

(Probably a fake photo done up by someone with much time on their hands)

Not sure if any of you picked up the Chrome browser, but "The Google on the Internet Machine" is ready unleash the operating system in the second half of 2010 by the same name to bust the windows out your PC!

Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Android was designed from the beginning to work across a variety of devices from phones to set-top boxes to netbooks. Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems. While there are areas where Google Chrome OS and Android overlap, we believe choice will drive innovation for the benefit of everyone, including Google.

Nixon Black & Purple Rubber Player Watches [FASHION]

Modelled after the highly popular Player timepiece. Nixon had originally released tge all rubber version of the watch in 4 colours (Yellow, Red, Blue, Green) which dropped one colour per month from March through June. They have now dropped black and purple as the 2 new colours - but the release seems just as sparse as the original 4 colourways. Hypebeast noted that the black version is available at 80’s Purple now. But you can grab it direct from Nixon in CAD (if they are back in stock)
