Great Summertime Grills - Forbes.com
Ducane’s Meridian five-burner grill, for example, comes with an infrared rotisserie add-on. But it pales in comparison to Cal Flame’s ultra-deluxe Barbecue Island, which can be customized with an ice maker, a pizza oven or even a beer tap.

The World’s Thinnest Notebook
The result, code-named Intel mobile Metro notebook, is less than 0.7 inches thick—about one-quarter of an inch thicker than Motorola’s (MOT) iconic cell phone, making it the world’s thinnest notebook. And at 2.25 pounds, it’s also one of the lightest small-sized portable computers. Other features include always-on Internet connectivity via various wireless technologies.And unlike other computer prototypes, including some from Intel, this one actually may line the shelves of a retailer before long. Intel hasn’t announced an official release date but people familiar with the matter say a PC maker will announce plans to start manufacturing the machine later this year.

Most Expensive Beachfront Homes - Forbes.com
A $40 million, 22,000-square-foot mansion on a secluded island in the Pacific Northwest or Shaquille O’Neal’s house on Miami’s Star Island?Decisions, decisions.
“Every location has a very distinct personality,” says Steve DiFrancesco, a broker at Hunter, Reed & Co, a Philadelphia-based luxury real estate company with listings in Nantucket. “You can drive to the Hamptons [from Manhattan], Martha’s Vineyard is more wooded and Nantucket is low-key. High net worth people seek out what matches their personality.”

Stretch It Out
Just ask Beth Superfin. The senior manager for AOL Media Networks was skeptical at first about the idea of doing yoga in her office conference room.

Fees range from a couple hundred to more than $10,000 a month, depending on what a company wants to accomplish, says Balance Integration president Tevis Gale.
Well, you’ve got to do something.
