Breitling announced their latest addition to their product line today, the Navitimer 125e Aniversaire. Based on their standard Navitimer, the 125e is limited to a run of 2,009 pieces, so make sure you get your order in fast if you want one.

This gadget (or gag item or whatever you may call it) of a very special kind comes directly from John Biggs’ favorite country of Japan: a pillow that looks like a pair of legs [JP]. The weird thing reminds me of the mouse pad for perverts and leaves me lost for words.

Internet security experts, and the people who pretend to be them, often only track hacks and the like when there’s money or personal information involved. You know, stolen credit card numbers, eBay phishing scams, etc. That’s all well and good—“I just want to make sure my money is safe!”—but a study detailing a sample of last year’s Internet hacks, and found that 24 percent of them had nothing at all to do with stealing money or personal information, but were rather carried out for no reason other than to deface and disrupt . Or, as Ars Technica so artfully put it, sometimes hackers just hate you. Or, as Nicholas Deleon will put it, sometimes hackers are just big stupid heads.

Apparently Bill Clinton was mere moments away from picking up chicks experiencing the finest in green transportation all over Burbank, California in a Telsa Roadster. Jeremy Snyder, general manager of the Los Angeles Tesla Store, handed a set of keys to Mr. Clinton at the end of a President’s Day luncheon after the former president expressed interest in driving a Roadster.

Good afternoon, PlayStation Owners-

Just wanted to keep you abreast of some happenings that will go down on Home in the coming months. Nothing that’s going to knock you on your buttocks, but there’s a handful of things worth mentioning. Hit the jump to see what’s going down.

News broke yesterday that LG was investigating quitting the plasma biz, but now George Mead, the Marketing Manager for Digital Displays at LG Electronics UK, is denying these claims. He told T3 that “LG Electronics UK has no intention to withdraw from the Plasma TV market.” Oh, see what he did there? LG Electronics UK. Nice, but what ’bout us Americans?

To me, the ongoing Pirate Bay trial is utterly boring: courtroom machinations, childish snickering (tee-hee, this random record industry CEO doesn’t understand the technical underpinnings of the BitTorrent protocol… do you?), etc. Wake me when there’s a verdict! One thing that did catch my eye this morning was this hot little item regarding one of The Pirate Bay’s financial backers, who, by some accounts owns around 40 percent of the site. Turns out the man, one Carl Lundström (who’s a foods company heir), has been involved in the nasty world of extreme right-wing Swedish politics. In and of itself, who cares? That this guy wants to keep Sweden for Swedes is none of my business, but it adds an extra layer of hilarity to the whole Pirate Bay soup. TPB, supposedly on the vanguard of people’s rights vis-à-vis copyright, fair use, etc. is supported by quite a shady character.

Flying Coach stinks something awful and the few times that I’ve flown Business or First Class in the last year have made my 12+ hour flights bearable. London-based Priestmangoode is responsible for the overhaul of Swiss’s First Class cabin on Airbus A330-300s and I must say they did an impeccable job. Just look at the photos. Each seat has ample room for an adult and the amenities are top notch. You get what appears to be a 22-inch flat panel screen, fully reclining seat, and mood lighting.

We still think the Pearl Flip is the ugliest phone to ever rear its head from Waterloo – but it’s a butt-dial-free BlackBerry, and that’s worth something, we suppose. When the CDMA variant made its way to the FCC’s testing dungeons, they were able to look past the Pearl Flip’s unsightly hinge and remember that it’s what’s inside that counts – and what’s inside passed their tests without a hitch.

In what may qualify as nostalgia overload, an enterprising Canadian has replaced the insides of an old all-in-one iMac with a Sega Dreamcast console. The end result is the iCast.

You remember those 1 million 5800 XpressMusic handsets that Nokia proudly announced they’d shipped back in January? Yeah, most of those are probably going to break.

Somewhere out there there is someone lusting after the N85. For some reason the rest of the world loves these lumpen little phones. Perhaps the Nokia N-series calls up memories of the old phones that we once clung to in the dark ages of cellular communication. The Nokia is the ur-phone, the manufacturer of dreams, the Campbellian original Hero With a Thousand Faces. It can do anything, given enough care and attention.

We at CG love Nokia, we support them, but that love is scarcely returned when they release phones like the N85 onto an unsuspecting populace.

I don’t know who exactly needs this but a Japanese company called ELPA (slogan: “We develop a useful commodity for life”) thinks a remote control with a built-in speaker is what we all have been waiting for.

Wil Wheaton AKA the guy on Star Wars recorded himself reading from his own book and then recorded the Kindle 2 reading the same passage. The result, as you’ll hear on his blog, is inconclusive (what if TTS gets so good it will sound JUST LIKE WIL WHEATON? WHAT THEN?) but it kind of shows where everyone’s head is at in terms of the Authors Guild.

Need a handy dandy spot to store your notebook when using an external display? Yeah, of’course you do. This instructable guides you through the easy steps need to attach a wire mesh file holder to the back of an LCD monitor. Honestly though, just pop out holes that align to the monitors VESA mount on the file holder, screw to monitor, and cut out one side of the holder. That’s it, captain.

Well, well, well. Yesterday I mentioned that Japanese telecom NTT DoCoMo had begun selling the BlackBerry Bold last week and today there are reports that they’ve pulled the device due to overheating. Approximately 4,000 Bolds have been sold with 30 reports of the keyboard area getting a little too hot while it’s being charged. RIM doesn’t think it’s a battery issue, but the root cause has not been identified and don’t worry, it’s only the Japanese variant that has the issue.

No surprise here, but VIA’s issued a press release officially announcing that Samsung’s NC20, the 12-inch successor to the NC10 netbook, does indeed have a VIA Nano CPU – a fact that’s been known for quite some time now. Along with the news, we’ve got some official specs for the soon-to-be-released computer, although we still don’t have official pricing or launch dates.

The storage gods have smiled upon us, friends! Starting this March, Nintendo will sell a 2GB SD card for the Nintendo Wii. Yes, you could have purchased such a card, or bigger, from, say, every other company on Earth, but this one has the official Nintendo Seal of Quality. (Remember that?) As always, Japan gets first dibs.
