Concentrate on action

Even when gaming casualties are heavy, the Logitech Gaming Headset G330 isn’t. The lightweight G330 headset combats fatigue with its adjustable, behind-the-head design that slides for a personalized fit.

To further relieve common pressure points on the head, the G330 headset features a soft silicone-lined headband and pivoting ear pads. And with a durable steel spring at its core, the flexible headband is designed to withstand the wear and tear of furious battle.

A noise-canceling microphone reduces annoying background noise and rotates out of the way when not in use. The in-line audio controls allow players to adjust the volume or mute the microphone without pausing the action. A USB adapter connects the headset to any USB port for enhanced audio or connect it to a PC sound card via 3.5 mm jacks.

Computer in a handset

The Nokia N900 takes its cues from the world of desktop computing. Its operating system is open source, Linux-based Maemo software that delivers a PC-like experience on a handset-sized device. With its Maemo 5 software, the Nokia N900 allows users to have dozens of application windows open and running simultaneously while taking full advantage of the device’s cellular features, WVGA touch screen and QWERTY keyboard.

The Nokia N900 packs a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 processor, up to 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration.

Switching between applications is simple, as all running content is constantly available through a dashboard. The panoramic homescreen can be fully personalized with favorite shortcuts, widgets and applications and the device takes great photos with a 5MP camera and Carl Zeiss optics.

The Nokia N900 features fast internet connectivity with 10/2 HSPA and WLAN. Thanks to the browser powered by Mozilla technology, websites look the way they would on any computer and there’s full Adobe Flash 9.4 support. The device offers 32GB of storage, expandable up to 48GB via a microSD card.

Healthy kids

Clever Crazes for Kids (www.clevercrazes.com) is a website that aims to help 6-12 year olds build healthy lives. This freely available site focuses on nutrition, physical activity, self-esteem and respect for our planet. The games are so enjoyable, with cool animated characters (avatars), that kids don’t even realize they’re learning. An advisory committee reviews all the material on Clever Crazes to ensure that the “edutainment” on offer brings children toward the realization that healthy habits can be a fun part of life.

Just your size

MyShape (www.myshape.com) has introduced “Sizeless Dressing.” The fact is that women’s clothing sizes vary so dramatically that a woman might wear a size 8 in one designer but a 12 in another. In Saudi Arabia, many women find clothes shopping frustrating because of the size conundrum, coupled with the absence of fitting rooms.

MyShape offers to take the guesswork out of shopping with an easy dressing room free alternative. The idea is to go sizeless. At myshape.com a woman enters a few key measurements with the aid of a friendly animated guide, and an expert system automatically predicts the rest of her body measurements. She adds her taste and fit preferences and — voila! Her Personal Shop is instantly stocked with clothes chosen from more than 200 designers that not only flatter her shape but also reflect her style.
