Case-Mate, the people who used to make zipper booklets for CDs, built the $80 Enlighten case that lights up the Kindle at night by way of an LED-illuminated acrylic overlay. So basically they pulled a Sony: Taking what's right about e-ink, and screwing it up. You don't put anything on e-ink, for the same reason you don't read paper through a film of plastic. We typically don't write up cases, but despite its unique gimmick (okay, because of it) this one looks exceptionally pass-worthy. [CNet]

It's bad enough when pompous over-the-hill watchmakers think they can get into the cellphone business, like Tag Heuer did when it introduced the luxury-for-luxury's-sake $6000 Merediist. It's worse when they team up with an extreme car company to release a still more ridiculously irrelevant phone, like Tag Heuer did when it called up its friend Lamborghini and cooked up the, yep, special edition Merediist Automobili Lamborghini. For $8000, you get the same crappy phone as before, but with the signature angry cow shield on the keypad, and a plaque in place of the crocodile skin. Yes they'll sell a handful to bald Italian billionaires over 60, but how many of those can there be? [Tag Heuer via Gadgetell]

I love when the age-old bicycle gets a redesign, and points go to Joey Ruiter for thinking through the needs of the urban bicyclist, trading speed for agility, and stripping the bike to its simplest parts. But I never thought bike seats could look any more uncomfortable than the borderline rectal probes out there now, until lo, I spotted this rectangular sucka. Joey, you're clearly talented, but I gotta ask, how can that seat be copacetic to the culo? [Core77 via The Awesomer]

As much as I want alternative energy ASAP, I am worried about wind farms. First, they're killing off flocks of birds or at least scaring them the hell away, and now they're making air traffic control jumpy too. Because of their flailing metal blades, radar waves get super screwy around them, and sometimes cause airplanes to disappear from radar. (Cue gulp of fear.) For this problem, a firm called Qinetiq built a seemingly decent solution, layering blades with sheets of radar-slurping glass-reinforced epoxy and plastic foam. It's nice, especially because you can pretty much replace the blade and leave everything else as is. But it's just coming out of the trial phase, and will take some time before it's ready for turbines that are now in place or being built. While we wait, let's talk about them birds...

The company just revealed that their previously announced ASUS Lamborghini VX5 (a 16-inch Intel Core 2 Quad system with 4GB of RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M GPU) will be released with an optional 1TB SSD upgrade.

That SSD is roughly four times the size of what Apple offers in their beastly 17-inch MacBook Pro. So just how much will the upgrade cost consumers? Asus hasn't revealed that particular detail yet—though you know the drill. If you have to ask... [Electronista]

Spotted at Tokyo Auto Salon 2009, this mini Lamborghini Murcielago is really a 4x4 ATV. We're guessing that a Lambo might not make for the best off-roading vehicle—there's not much clearance between the tires and the body for proper suspension—but then again, if we were to spend the $20,000 on this ATV, it wouldn't even be leaving my garage (partially because of the price and partially because of how stupid we'd look driving it).

The Lamborghini Murcielago ATV will be available this April. And if that "Sold Out" scrawling is any indication, it will be in high demand. [Carzi via Jalopnik]

This super car was spotted by Necromanc and was posted up on his blog today. It is not clear if the vehicle itself had been tuned up to match the phenomenal intricate designs on the exterior, but who cares? It is a Lamborghini. It has the best damn paint job, ever. It is freaking smashing and it goes without saying, but we will anyway; we want it so bad it hurts. [Necromanc]

No, this isn't just some $5 mouse pad with a Lamborghini on it. This is an actual Italian leather Lamborghini mousepad, made by the same people who bring you those fancy horseless wagons with all the horses under the hood.

The pad is in the shape of the Lamborghini crest, but doesn't have the actual crest design. We're not sure how much it costs, but it's sure to be less than the $500 F1 Mouse Pad. – Jason Chen

Update: It's 50 Euros ($63). Thanks Steve!

The VX1, offered in mirror-painted black or yellow trim, is sure as hell gorgeous-looking, but we're wondering why a product wearing a Lamborghini badge doesn't have the fastest Core Duo processor onboard and a higher-resolution LCD. You'll pay dearly for all that style, too—the VX1 will be available later this month for $3405.
