I'd rather get a golden wristwatch...
it does look good, but so does my piano black Acer notebook (http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as7530.htm)...
And i don't like iStuff....
my gawd.....that's decadence at it's best........or worst.... O_o;
meh, i'm not a fan of gold anyway. i'm a winter. :3
I like stylish business-like straight/line stuff... Lots of square stuff in my room... ^_^
I like gold and chrome as much as the next person but I think those gold and chrome laptops or iPods, etc. are ridiculous!
gold and/or chrome accents, may look stylish, though...
i wish i could find the Gold Razr moto poster right now.. it is very relevant.
true, or the gold nokia by gucci

I agree that gold or chrome accents are a nice addition though! But to completely plate something in it is usually overkill!
And I hate when designers put a bunch of gold and diamonds on their (insert item here) without improving it in other ways just to make it the most goddamn expensive item of its kind.
Word up on that. I mean, really, it's just a few protons here and there that makes the difference anyway...
that´s atoms, difference betwen generic molecules and Au are MOLECULES!
The difference between two substances are the contents of their atoms...meaningly, the amount of protons/neutrons/electrons in the core.
Remember your chemistry now.
a different atom equals a different substance, and in a lot of cases, the non-elemental substances, a different molecule means a different substance, or even a different molecule layout means a different substance...
But gold is an elemental substance.
sure, but we´re OTing slightly...
like my parents said, you should listen to what i mean, not to what i say... we ment roughly the same thing...
heh, neiiijin lives to argue.
anyhow, doing that to your phone is just one more reason why someone would steal it. get a cheap phone, srsly :P no one will want it. dame with MP3 players
i have an mp3 playah that cost me about $120 but it had scratches on the screen after a month and now it´s in a state that i can perfectly live with is, but thieves wouldn´t want it...
Creative Zen + Zippo equals screenkiller...
To clear this up further:
The number of PROTONS in an atom defines its identity as an element. (i.e: Hydrogen=1, Calcium=20, Arsenic=33, Gold=79, etc.)
The number of NEUTRONS can vary within the same element. Each variation is called an ISOTOPE. All elements, radioactive or not- have at least one radioactive isotope.
I'd rather have some gold jewelry because it would be much less likely to be stolen (as long as I'm wearing it) than say... a gold cellphone!
plus it makes you look pretty *bats eyelashes*
true, although, i´d love to have a gold ingot as a paperweight... ^_^
gold doesnt not nessicarily mean awesome, when applied to most things it become tacky
True- I've seen some gold but tacky things!
camp...yep, it´s true, gold works best in processor cores and wrapped around a diamond on a wedding...

true, that there is TRUE gold!!
eh, i find gold gaudy. but then, i'm a silver person myself. but i hate it when people do that, addin completely unnecessary "bling" to pretty much everything, their electronics, car, wardrobe, ect. is someone compensating?
well, gold or silver, least for jewlery, really depends on the person as to which looks better on them. Just like cirtain colors work better for people and such when it comes to clothing.
exactly. i'm a winter. <3
but it gets really gaudy when the earrings can double as bracelets.
and also when it spreads to phones, laptops, ect. somewhere in japan there's a golden toilet. :[
I prefer more.. tactical ear rings.. mostly studs, or such. but Im a silver person too. the silver goes better with the black and red i usually wear, or black and pink.
but yeah.. its crazy the kinda stuff ive seen made gaudy with "bling"

You forgot the number of electrons can make them ions, which gives them the ability to form salts and other substances with ions of other elements. -w-
Meh, but as for me I dunno about gold shit...my hair is GOLDEN enough already, so I mostly stay to silver stuff. I usually wear a pair or three silver rings, occasionally adding something more...sometimes people ask me if I'm engaged, haha. I need to get a gold ring instead just to make it even more hilarious. _w_
i hate the look of yellow gold (as jewelry). as hair or gold coins, then yes, bring it on! but otherwise, no.
my mom made me get gold for my class ring (i wanted to be cheap and get this weird non-precious metal called lustrium or something or other. sadly, she made me get gold. so i got white gold. :3
i hate oversized jewelry, except some necklaces. (i had the nicest tag w/ sign language for "i love you" on it on a long chain. not big, just LONG. .......oh man that sounds bad xD )
the biggest earrings i have? well, the heavest are tarnished-look silvery (idk what metal, probably steel or something) in the shape of little coffins hanging on chains. the coffins even open! but they're really heavy, i wore them when i was younger and they nearly ripped my ears ;_;
eeeh.. class rings for HS... waste of money in my opinion, it didnt take even a year before I ceased caring about that great "acomplishment" least collage class rings mean something. Tho I went to the military, so instead I got a polished brass saber instead of a ring ;p
nice. at any rate, the ring itself is nice, i love the stone.
we're getting OT......
gold computers are gaudy! stainless steel plz??
Well, (no offence to OP) since this thread is just called Golden... we can discuss any type of gold related stuff here, i guess, without going OT...
BTW that gold casette, Brilliant find...
Also more gold i lieks...

Word. And the top two reasons are:
1) It looks tacky.
2) In a lot of cases, the product already IS the most expensive of its kind.
yeah, yeah. back in the day, THIS was my gold.

EDIT: robhol, true dat. makes no sense. if they want to be flashy and have expensive things, why waste time blinging something out? buy 100 more and give em' out; that REALLY makes you look rich.

There are even some ridiculously expensive desserts covered in edible gold leaf! WTF?!
mmmmm i think i've heard of those. <P i think i saw a cake like that once on a food network competition. lil' gold pearls or something.
A gold-plated sundae is featured in this Cracked article. (http://www.cracked.com/article_15827_pimp-my-plate-worlds-most-retardedly-expensive-5-course-meal.html)
Part of me totally wants that $1,000 sundae, mostly for bragging rights but another part of me is disgusted that people can waste ridiculous amounts of money on just one meal...
it looks.....so decadent......like it's be so tasty it's hurt....or at least be so expensive you'd cry....
Heck if i were rich i'd see me ordering gold plated food, just to keep that money i spent out of the grimy little hands of our IRS...
If you'd win our current state lottery's Jackpot (â,¬27.500.000,-) and retired on â,¬24Mln, you'd have to pay 57% income tax?!
Man, being rich is a reason to GTFO of holland and live in Monaco or Dubai...
hah, that is a good reason! screw the government! set up shop in some godforasken place and MAKE a country!

On second thought, that sounds like a good idea, spending lots of money so The Man can't have it! That 57% tax bracket is asinine! Though in all fairness, most countries with high tax brackets have things like universal healthcare and such.
In comparison, the highest tax bracket in the U.S. is 39% but the healthcare system is f***ed up and college costs an *** load of money. :(

HAH!!!I remember our old health care system, where i paid â,¬57,79 a month for a so called "Private insurance" (we also had the cheap 'n cheerful Collective insurance for the proletariat) and now with our new government and their BS new insurance system i pay twice as much for less coverage...
Plus taxes have gone up on E-VE-RY-THING (cars, flying, houses, income, groceries, alcohol, gasoline) plus they made up a couple of new ones "Because our [censored] gocernment cares about the [censored] environment"
Well, those [censored], [censored] only care about lining their [censored] pockets with our money, cuz if they really cared about the "environment", they'd already have put up biodiesel and bioethanol gas stations, and our public transport'd be running on that stuff already...
No what they do is; raise taxes on older cars, reintroduce tax on classic cars (cars older than 25 years were exempt from road tax), and make virtually everything with an engine in it fiscally unattractive or impossible for not only the common man, but also for small businesses...
So, yeah[/really heavy sarcasm] we do live in a beautiful[/sarcasm] country, where our government has nothing but our best interest in mind[/dripping wet with sarcasm, and a hint of deathwish] and sure we pay a lot of taxes..... on about everything we do..... or eat.... or drink..... or don't do, for that matter..... but in return we get, ready?
Higher prices, smaller paychecks, budget cuts, unemployment, less police, resulting in more crime and death, budget cuts in our healthcare system, resulting in filthy (literally, they're dirty with ORs closed because of the dust and vermin) and understaffed underqualified hospitals, budget cuts in the school system, budget cuts in the army, insane amounts of paperwork to get ANYTHING done, and last but not least we also get richer and richer ministers... wich isn't so hard, now that there is virtually a ban on making more money than our MP...
Lol, looks like I'm not the only one who's unsatisfied with their current government. But the fact that in my country added with terrorist attack and shameless minister about corruption, makes me sometime want to curse this "UGLY YET BEAUTIFUL BUT SLOWLY DESTROYED BY US WORLD". Those shameless and corrupt government and all kind of terrorist just go to hell.
Well, at least you people don't have governments that screw with Net Neutrality.
I'd consider myself blessed if that was our gov's only flaw...
I guess so would I.
Then again, flaws like that are just one in the middle of a fuckcluster of shit, so yeah...
Name a government where people are satisfied...
and I'll show you a country whose people are uneducated.
The truth of the matter is, people will always find a reason to complain. You can't please everybody. A system without regulation becomes a system overrun by larger than sustainable industry. A system with too much regulation becomes a system stagnated and atrophies. It's a nearly an impossible balance to reach, and extremists from either side say their way is best. Honestly there's a lot I'd like to change about how my country works, and most of that is based on my personal experiences. The same pretty much goes for everyone else, and we're stuck arguing subjectively about how things should be done. Seeing as how I've done enough talking about nothing, how about this topic gets steered away from politics? Better yet, let's just get back to the topic...
yeah, but to get back on topic means letting this thread die, since the original subject has been extensively discussed and a verdict has been reached wich we all agreed upon...
I agree with you Ian- No form of government is perfect. Every country has its merits and its flaws, but no one can make all the flaws go away in their country because it's impossible to please EVERYONE.
Now back on topic: This! "12 Extraordinary Gold Plated Stuff" (http://oddee.com/item_96710.aspx)
(Warning: there's an 'adult' item in the list. Probably NSFW)
Wow, is most of that stuff ever tacky or what? ^_^
Yeah, especially the gold pills, which a person eats so their crap can be gold-plated. *facepalm*
Yeah, what a waste of precious metal...
There has to be a better use for it...
Lining the engine bay of a McLaren F1 for example...
oh gawd. the fail. *facepalm*
