Add More Humidity

If you work in a decent sized building odds are that your air is recycled like crazy. Every try jogging up the stairs of an office building or tall hotel? After about 10 floors you feel a burn in your lungs attributed to the lack of humidity in stairwells. Imagine what the nasty air does to your system! Not to mention static. Yuck. Solutions.com has a couple options that will help you try to make the air more natural and breathable – one for the techno type and one for the artistic type.

If you enjoy using your computer power try out the USB-powered Personal Humidifier for $24.98. A full, 4 ounce tank will get you 4 hours of humidity. So you won't worry about saturating your laptop with mist. If you forget to unplug it or have a meeting run late don't worry it will shut itself off after 2 hours or when the tank is empty. Traveler alert! It is small enough to stash in a suitcase or computer bag too. Finally! A cure for dry hotel rooms.

For those of you that prefer a more artistic approach to generating humidity try the Decora Room Humidifiers. The porous ball inside the reservoir bowl gently and naturally release humidity via evaporation. You simply get to look at an artistic addition to your room, office, cubicle or wherever. A set of two run $24.98. Whether you want the technical & portable route or the more natural process don't let your humidity levels drop thanks to heating and poor air quality.

Rawr…3D Cookies

 

Baking cookies takes me back to childhood. I don't think I know anyone who does not enjoy rolling out the dough, cutting out the shapes and decorating them. Sprinkles, silver balls, mini-chocolate chips, colored frosting all help top off the final product. Mmmmm. Or if you are like me you don't wait for the final product and enjoy eating some of the raw dough along the way. One thing is for certain, we all become kids again when cookie making begins.

Whether you become a kid or have one, Firebox has a set of cookie cutters that no one should miss out on. The 3-D Dinosaur Cookie Cutters will make your old cutters extinct. Included with each dino are 3-4 individual cutters. Bake away, cutting a set of pieces per cookie. Then after they cool you assemble the 3-4 pieces together to make a delectable, prehistoric 3-D friend. Frost and decorate to your heart's content before you assemble too. Just leave the 'slots' open. Buy one of four dinosaurs (Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus and T-Rex) for £7.99 each or get the whole set for £27.99. Whether a parent and child activity for a rainy day or an activity for a young one's birthday celebration, bring dinosaurs back from the past right in your home with these cutters.

Outlook.com is now official

Do you remember when web email kicked off in the early days of dial up connectivity? Yes sir, everyone wanted and rushed for an email address, and the younger (and more foolish, I might add) ones among us realized that all of the cool email usernames were already taken, leaving us to agree to whatever the machine's reasoning threw our way, such as younggirl1980@hotmail.com or boyscoutlover95@yahoo.com, where they all sound so wrong on different levels in this day and age. Embarrassing, even. Well, having said that, perhaps it might have been half a decade since you decided to log into your Hotmail account, but you might want to do so soon, as Microsoft has officially launched Outlook.com on Tuesday, which would mark the demise of its predecessor, Hotmail.

Yes sir, a minute of silence for the faithful departed please. Taking approximately 7 months after Microsoft unveiled a preview of the Outlook email service, the software giant decided to announced the end of its beta run over in a blog post. Having picked up Hotmail in 1997 (was it that long ago?), Microsoft claimed that they will switch users from Hotmail over to the new Outlook service "soon", but it is a good thing that the Redmond, Washington company will not force these affected users to change their emails to an “outlook.com” address.

Be warned, though, change is definitely coming later this summer, so you might want to mentally prepare yourself for a jump over to the Outlook bandwagon after being in love with Hotmail for so long. Microsoft said, “Everything from their @hotmail.com email address, password, messages, folders, contacts, rules, vaation replies, etc. will stay the same, with no disruption in service.” With over 60 million folks who are actively using Outlook.com, hey, we certainly cannot argue with such levels of approval, can we? Do you think you will miss Hotmail?

LG Tab-Book announced

LG might not have too much luck in the world of tablets or notebooks, but it seems that they intend to do something of the situation and make good of it. LG Electronics has just announced that they will be showing off their own take on a tablet-notebook hybrid device at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) which is happening in Barcelona, Spain. Simply known as the LG Tab-Book, it will come equipped with Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology in order to deliver a high speed Internet experience, enabling users to hook up to the Internet regardless of where they are. Of course, this is all theoretical, since we do know that a whole lot of its connectivity depends on the area of coverage.

The LG Tab-Book is a beauty to behold for sure, where it boasts of a hidden slide-out physical keyboard, making it a whole lot more functional compared to a conventional tablet, delivering greater levels of productivity when it comes to creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations, especially when you are on the move.

Microsoft's Windows 8 is the operating system of choice for the LG Tab-Book, and it will be powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, sporting a precise 5-point multi-touch screen and a superb slide-out keyboard which helps differentiate it from other hybrids. Press the Auto-Sliding button and the keyboard will magically emerge from behind the screen for instant touch typing action.

Your eyes will also be most pleased with the Tab-Book's In-Plane Switching (IPS) display, where it is said to deliver a premium picture with lifelike color expression and a wide 178-degree viewing angle. Out in Korea later this week, confirmation in other markets remains to be known. Pricing details remain sketchy at best, but you can be sure that it is not going to come under the entry-level price tiers. Would you pick this over the Dell XPS 12, or the Lenovo Yoga 13?

Fujitsu Stylistic S01 smartphone

When it comes to smartphones in Europe and in North America, it is not too often that we see a brand from the Land of the Rising Sun make an appearance, but this time around, the folks over at Fujitsu must have decided to have some "pity" on these two regions, having announced a smartphone partnership alongside Orange Telecom, and they have every intention of rolling out their first ever handset, the Fujitsu Stylistic S01, in France later this June.

Just what kind of hardware does the Fujitsu Stylistic S01 pack underneath the hood? Well, we are looking at Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the operating system of choice, where the user will also be able to enjoy GSM and HSPA compatibility thanks to Orange. One important fact to take note of is this – you might have noticed that the Fujitsu Stylistic S01 does not come with the most fashion forward of designs, and that is because it has been specially targeted at elderly users. This means you will be able to find a similar bunch of features as those on Fujitsu’s Raku-Raku series of senior-friendly handsets on NTT DoCoMo. An 8.1-megapixel camera at the back complements the VGA camera in front, and you have 4GB of internal memory to play around with. We do hope that more details will surface at MWC later this coming week.

A couple of LEDs that are mounted at the temples of the frame will be able to project crisp focused light regardless of where you look. The glasses themselves are made from durable hard plastic with scratch-resistant refractive lenses, and each purchase comes with a hard-plastic travel case.
