Estate Of the Day: The Scoop On Tony Blair & Winslow Hall

October 11, 2007 | Posted by Allison as Uncategorized at 9:27 am | (4) Comments »

The word on the British street is that Tony Blair is in the market to pick up some more real estate.  And I mean some more luxurious real estate.

While the ex-Prime Minister already owns a five-story property in London’s Connaught Square, Blair is also interested in picking up Sir Christopher Wren’s last surviving home, Winslow Hall.

Winslow Hall was actually the only residence Wren ever designed outside of London.  The 22 acre estate calls home in the gorgeous countryside of Buckinghamshire.  The property is listed at £3 million, so don’t even think about making the U.S. dollar do that much work.  To be honest, I think I’ll start asking to be paid in pounds!

Say hello to the $1 million Rogun robot.  For just a mere $1 cool million, you can purchase yourself a robot that recognizes faces.  Now, ain’t that just down right cool?

Korean company KornTech has successfully developed Rogun, that scans individual’s faces upon entering your home in order to alert homeowners of intruders.  Although these robots will go for as low as $5,000 in the future, you’re pretty much stuck with that $1 million fugure for now.
