Brabus’s iBusiness is a Mercedes-Benz S600 tricked out Apple style

And it’s all built into a car that goes from 0 to 62 in 4.0 seconds, with a top speed of 211 miles per hour. Brabus has tricked out those interiors, too — there’s leather everywhere, power-operated curtains, wood trim, color-changing interior lighting, LED running lights outside, and anodized aluminum pedals under the sport steering wheel. Yowza.

Brabus doesn’t give a price for this made-to-order monster, but the car itself (without any options) starts around $150k, so the entire package runs into the “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” range. What a set of wheels, though.

iPod Overheats, Causes Train Delay in Tokyo

A Tokyo commuter train was delayed last Friday because  of a burning smell that was caused by an Apple iPod owned by one of the passengers.

The train was delayed in western Tokyo’s Setagaya Ward for eight minutes  at around 8:20 a.m. local time. “When a member of staff went to investigate inside the train, a passenger came over showing him that the iPod she was listening to had burst apart,” the spokesman of the rail line operator Tokyu Corp told Reuters. No injuries were reported.

The timing is bad for Apple, with Apple Japan recently admitting overheating problems in first generation iPod nanos and offering replacements to customers. The exact model of the iPod that caused the accident on the train, however, remains unknown.
