Near-Supersonic Gulfstream 650 Unveiled, Steve Jobs Gets Excited

The new Gulfstream 650 was unveiled yesterday at their Savannah factory. Yes Steve Jobs, yes Al Gore, yes Kevin Rose, this one can take you anywhere in the world with its 7,000 nautical miles range at a top speed of Mach 0.925 (704mph,) almost the speed of sound at a 41,000-feet altitude. You and your 99,600-pound cargo of, hmm, whatever you dirty rich people take around on trips: all your mountain bikes, your Bonos, and your carbon-footprint air fresheners or something. But don't put your current Gulfstreams on Craiglist yet, because there's a catch.

Update: with details on the new vision system and the stunning cockpit

Latest by n/a: Gulfstream finally has a new aircraft? Or is this just another Avionics upgrade...with Rolls Royce BR710's on steriods. In reality, if reality matters. You may save 3-5 mins in flight time but in the reality of ATC delays, weather, more »

His Royal Steveness a Late Entry for 2007's Best-Dressed Lists

Dear Steve, I knew you could do it— get away from that zen-inspired "one single look means one minute in the closet" sartorial philosophy. But a shirt and tie? Oh, my son, you look positively ravishing. Look how the silver tie brings out the distinguished saltiness of your hair, puts a ruddy fairness in your cheeks, enfin, makes you look hawwt (continues in this vein for several minutes until colleagues administer a slap around the face). So, who was lucky enough to see Steve rock the "I'm a PC, but admit it, a really gorgeous one" look? More »

Latest by GOKOR: He's wearing an ill-fitting suit, that should put him on the worst dressed list. The real travesty, how is Al Gore getting a Nobel Prize before Bono, a man that has been at it big time for the better part of more »

Nanosolar PowerSheets Promise Cheap Solar Power Everywhere, Unlimited Gadget Energy

Winning the Green Tech Grand Award and "Innovation of the Year" nods from Pop Sci, Nanosolar PowerSheets pack a whole lot of potential into their Paris Hilton-cheap, Nicole Richie-thin panels—we're talking solar power for 30 cents a watt, compared to the $3 it costs now, without silicon or laying the panels on glass. "You're talking about printing rolls of the stuff—printing it on the roofs of 18-wheeler trailers, printing it on garages, printing it wherever you want it." If you wanna know more about the black magic coating the panels, check out Pop Sci's spectacularly detailed coverage. [Pop Sci via BBG]

Speaking of Al Gore, we just read that the veep-turned-eco-warrior won't make it to the upcoming nuptials of Google co-founder Larry Page and his betrothed, the very lucky Lucy Southworth. Gore will be off in Oslo picking up his prize, but he does hope to video-conference in to the reception. You tried, Larry, but there's just no escape. [AP]

Iqua Sun, World's First Solar-Powered Bluetooth Headset

While Bluetooth headsets are a dime a dozen, ones powered by the sun like Nuclear Man from Superman IV aren't. Orange claims that its Iqua Sun is "the worlds first" [sic, italics theirs] solar-powered Bluetooth headset. Fancy! The green half-ouncer gets 200 hours of life on standby and nine hours of talk time in darkness, like in an elevator on the moon. It'll run you £49.99, which is about 105 American clams.

21-Green-Gadget Salute to Al Gore, Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize today. The former vice prez was honored for his tireless efforts to let everyone know that climate change is real and that we should all be pretty damned scared about it. We certainly are, but we've been thinking the sky is falling for the past couple of decades at least. Anyway, to pay tribute to our first elected president who never served a day as president in the Oval Office, we decided to commemorate the occasion with Gizmodo's highest honor: a 21-gadget salute to Al Gore, a gallery concentrating on those items that might do just a little something to save the environment on this pale blue dot we call home. Ready, aim... [Russia Today] (additional reporting by Jennifer Hooker)
