WishList: 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP7000-4

Lamborghini's Aventador boasts a brutal 700HP 12-cylinder engine that will blast it to a 0-100 kp/h speed in 2.9 seconds as well as a top speed of 350 km/h. According to Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, “The Aventador is a jump of two generations in terms of design and technology, it’s the result of an entirely new project, but at the same time it’s a direct and consistent continuation of Lamborghini’s brand values. It is extreme in its design and its performance, uncompromising in its standards and technology." 

Farewell, Zune. We never knew you.

Microsoft is no longer making any new Zune hardware and its focal mobile music and video entertainment devices will be the Windows Phone 7 smartphones. The Zune software will continue development to serve said mobile OS.

Bloomberg's Dina Bass reports  that Microsoft will "cease introducing new versions of the Zune music and video-player amid tepid demand, helping the company shift its focus to mobile phones, according to a person familiar with the decision." Canadians won't really miss the Zune, which saw very limited availabilty in the country. Too bad, since we heard the Zune HD was a killer device and a really excellent music player.
