Now for something really cool.... and literally!!! The ICEHOTEL is a temporary hotel that is built every winter in Jukkasjärvi, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden, with the nearest town 17 kilometers away. The whole hotel is made of ice and as soon as the winter starts, a bunch of snow builders, architects, designers and artists from all over the world come in Jukkasjärvi to produce one of the most spectacular hotel in the world. Book your next holiday there!!!

Do you love your PS3? Wished you can take it anywhere? Ben Heck from engadget.com made the first ever PS3 Laptop. That's simply amazing! Even though the Laptop is a bit bulky, I wouldn't mind taking it everywhere with me and with the PS3's Linux support, you can put Ubuntu or Yellow Dog Linux on it and make it a all purpose laptop. There are instructions on the same site for making your own PS3 Laptop (though you have to know quite a bit about electronics), so check it out!!
