Located outside of The Ericsson Globe, the Globen Skyview “takes visitors to the top for a virtually unobstructed view over Stockholm. There’s no known such arrangement elsewhere in the world; each of the two gondolas accommodates 16 passengers who will be 130 meters high when at the top.” Video after the break. Click here for more photos.

The Skyview globe elevators run outside the Ericsson Globe which is currently the largest hemispherical building in the world and took two and a half years to build. Shaped like a massive white ball, it has a diameter of 110 metres (361 feet) and an inner height of 85 metres (279 feet).

At $124999, this 215/55R16 Bridgestone Potenza G019 GRID Tire on Amazon isn’t made of pure gold, diamond, or concealing the upcoming iPhone 5, unfortunately, but it’s most certainly one of the most costly products ever put up for sale on the site. It’s so overpriced that there’s not even one review yet, trolls included. Product page.

The SPORTY FLAIR of the unique tread design gives you the performance look in a tire that’s also designed with performance driving features in mind. A package of Bridgestone technologies including UNI-T, a silica enhanced tread compound molded into a sophisticated directional tread pattern helps to deliver all-season traction.

Virgin MiFi owners rejoice! The device can now be used with a new $40/month unlimited data plan, with no restrictions, or at least under normal usage. Just to recap, “you can share the 3G data connection with up to five devices via Wi-Fi, which means netbooks, notebooks, cellphones and iPads.” Continue reading for a video tour.

You’ll need to buy the MiFi itself, for $150 (there is also an $80 USB dongle available for laptop users), but you’d be paying that indirectly anyway if you signed up for a contract.
