Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse

by Shoshana Diggs on September 1st, 2010

Say good-bye to the click wheel and hello to the capactive strip! Is it possible that Microsoft has improved the mouse? I always thought of mice as toilet paper they can’t really get any better but Microsoft proved me wrong.

The new Arc Touch Mouse is the first mouse I have seen with a touch strip in lieu of a click wheel, it is also the first mouse that flattens in order for you to take it with you as it will fit into your purse or pocket and it pops up for added comfort. The Arch Touch Mouse also features Microsofts BlueTrack technology which allows you to use the mouse on pretty much any surface. I have used Mice with BlueTrack technology before and they do not work on clear glass but do work on everything else.

Brilliant Women in Technology: Meet Hannah Simone

by Shoshana Diggs on August 18th, 2010

I personally didn’t get to speak with or interview Hannah Simone as I was unable to attend the event (E3) where our CuteGeek representative met her. Which sort of sucks because after reading her answers and reading up on her she’s an amazing person. Would have been nice to have met her. But I got the second best thing, I got the task of writing up why she’s a Brilliant Women in Tech.

Hannah Simone was born in London England and as lived all over the world. From Saudi Arabia to New Delhi India where she attended school and would help organize to benefits to help women and children with Aids. In 2006 she landed in Canada where she became a VJ for MuchMusic and in 2009 she became the host of WCG Utimate Gamer, whose second season starts August 19th 2010 on the SyFy Channel. Check local listings. I always wanted to say that…I guess I still haven’t said it and I just typed it.

Moisturize Your Skin While You Drive

by Shoshana Diggs on August 5th, 2010

Nissan Motor Company made a rather interesting annoucement today. They announced a concept called ”Health and well-being” and the concept will allow your car that to moisturize your skin while you drive.

Basically the cars will dispense vitamin C from the air conditioner, and as we know vitamin C is good for your skin and even clears up acne.

Nissan did not say what models or in what countries the vitamin dispensing car will be available in, but I am sure it will be a girls best friend where ever its available.

by Shoshana Diggs on September 18th, 2009

I love to skateboard and yesterday at an event here in NYC I saw a product that is perfect for skaters like me and anyone who is into extreme sports, and wants to record what they’re doing from their own perspective.
