OK, I know this is a very big 'gadget' but I do so LOVE a private 'plane. Here's a picture from ValleyWag magazine of it taken recently at Christchurch, New Zealand:

And here's a supporting article:

Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin need more adult supervision than previously thought.

While the two billionaires agree that they both love colored balls,
they can't agree on what types of beds should be placed in their Boeing
767 wide body corporate jet. Brin and Page broke out in a dispute over
whether or not Brin should have a long California King size bed in
their plane, according to documents tied to a lawsuit over the jet.
Ultimately, Google CEO Eric Schmidt had to chime in and make the bed
decision for the youngsters.

"Sergey, you can have whatever bed you want in your room; Larry, you
can have whatever kind of bed you want in your bedroom. Let's move on,"
Schmidt told the pair, according to the court documents.

The <cite>Wall Street Journal</cite> today made the nasty bed
dispute public after uncovering a battle between Blue City – Google's
holding company for the plane – and Leslie Jennings – a designer
contracted to do customer work on the Google craft. Blue City canned
Jennings last October, claiming he failed to rework the Boeing as
requested. Meanwhile, Jennings is seeking payment for his work and has
denied Blue City's claims.

"They're intent on seeing whether they can break every bone in my body and drain every cent out of me," he told the paper.

The battle has turned up some wonderful details about the Google
boys. According to the court documents, Schmidt has referred to the
corporate jet as a "party plane." And, in fact, the Googlers wanted
things such as hammocks hanging from the ceiling and a cocktail lounge
in their jet.

This matter makes it harder to take Brin and Page's "casual guy"
shtick seriously. How much longer before they cast off the t-shirts and
jeans and appear in public as the Armani lovers they really are?

hahahahaha

That's a funny article 

And let's face it, would you rather travel like this:

.... or like this:

Step inside the new Airbus A380
and immediately you will notice the stunning interior design that will
catapult the A380 into a league of its own. With generous interior
space, surrounded by beautifully designed features, as well as
a state of the art entertainmnet and business facilities, the A380
looks more like a hotel bar and recreation area, than the inside of an
aircraft. The A380, is the world's largest passenger aircraft and
features 50 per cent more floor space than its nearest competitor.

The
unique double deck arrangement provides extra capacity at the same time
as improving the passenger experience. Each twin-aisle cabin allows
wider seats but with fewer rows than on other large aircraft. Easing
the stress of long-haul travel,
the A380 cabins feature mood lighting thanks to light emitting diodes
(LED) capable of simulating day or night. Mood lighting eases the
stress of jet lag for long-haul passengers and also helps provide a
relaxing ambience. Windows are also bigger, providing more natural
light and a better view outside the aircraft.

Traveling with new levels of comfort is something passengers are beginning to demand for their travel dollars,
and it seems that the Airbus A380 is listening to its customers.

Soon people will be taking 'cruises' or 'joy rides' in planes

And what will the price of a single trip ticket be for this luxurious trip from point A to point B be? anyone?
