A Geek Girl must have: Bag Solar Powered

Apr 30, 2007 in technology, geek, gagdets, women, fashion

This is the laptop bag all geek girls need:

The Picard Solar Bag

No, this isn’t Picard, the Star Trek Captain, but a Germany bag manufacturer.

But, it’s also futurist, sci-fi, geek bag!

It comes with solar panels to charge your many gadgets, including laptops, phones or Mp3 Players. I just need to make sure if it matches with my shoes…

Tea Time!!! no mess anymore!

Apr 25, 2007 in gagdets

Even before to move to UK, I love tea.
I always went to tea house, looking for new flavors and acessories.

Now, living in UK, drink tea has becoming a part of my daily routine, in fact, I use to drink at leats 3 cups of tea during a day.

And everytime is the same thing: dealing with dripping, dribbling teabags and desperate dashes to the bin later.

The solution: Teatool!

Here you can see how it works:

The Teatool is a small, handheld kitchen gadget with a small cage on one end for your teabag and a plunger in the handle. Simply pop your teabag into the cage and place in your cup before adding boiling water, as normal. Then press the plunger to squeeze the teabag, release all the flavour and excess water before getting rid of the teabag in the bin, totally drip free!

That’s perfect! Now I can have my tea with no burnt fingers and no more dripping teabags…

Users warned on Windows cursors

Apr 10, 2007 in technology

Animated cursors could prove risky for Windows users, Microsoft has warned.
The software giant is investigating reports that the way Windows handles alternatives to the traditional arrow cursor can leave PCs open to attack.

By booby-trapping a website or e-mail attachment with code that exploits the flaw, malicious hackers could hijack a Windows PC.

Microsoft warned users to be wary of attachments and urged them to update security software to combat the threat.

Open Windows

Malicious hackers are already known to be exploiting the flaw according to reports from the Sans Internet Storm Center.

In an alert, Sans said several security firms had seen evidence of websites being set up, hosting code that can exploit the bug. Information about it is being spread on bulletin boards malicious hackers are known to frequent.

PC users could fall victim by opening a booby-trapped attachment on an e-mail or by visiting a website that is hosting the code.

“Exploitation happens completely silently,” said security firm McAfee which was one of the first to find the bug. Once installed, the exploit code could download and run any other file, warned McAfee.

Microsoft urged people to update their security software so they could get hold of signature files that spot and stop the exploit code.

Simply blocking the .ani files that denote animated cursors will not work as many attackers are renaming booby-trapped files to disguise their dangerous nature.

Microsoft said that many different versions of Windows were vulnerable to the attack. The list of potential victims includes Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and Server 2003.

The software firm said those using Outlook Express would be vulnerable as would those who forward or reply to booby-trapped e-mail messages with Windows Mail on Vista.

However, it said that users of Outlook 2007 would be protected.

Security firms said users can stay safe from this vulnerability by using an alternative browser, such as Opera or Firefox 2.0, with Windows. Also protected are those using Windows Vista with Internet Explorer 7.0.
