The Logitech MK700 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

If comfort is what you seek, then look no further than the Logitech MK700 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse ($99.99).  I have had the privilege of using this desktop duo for the last week, and it has been a sheer pleasure.

There are a multitude of features that make the MK700 unique.  Let’s start with the keyboard.  There is a built in cushioned palm rest as well as two sets of height adjustments on the bottom of the keyboard.  This is a great feature, especially for people who have a keyboard slide out tray, and need a low profile keyboard.  In addition, my favorite feature is that the keys are actually concave shaped with rounded edges.  Your fingers literally sink into each key stroke comfortably.  The one touch keys make accessing the internet, email, music very convenient.  The device also has a built in LCD  that displays your battery level.  The MK700 has a built in power management system that extends your battery life for up to three-years for the keyboard battery life and 12-months for the mouse battery life. This feature practically eliminates the need to replace batteries.

The wireless laser mouse has a sleek ergonomic design and fits comfortably.  The mouse has two scrolling modes: hyper-fast scrolling allows you to scan through long documents effortlessly or you can switch to click-to-click scrolling for navigating slides, lists or images. My favorite feature of the mouse was its ability to simply communicate flawlessly with my pc.  This is no small feat, as I have a wireless USB hub that has wreaked havoc among many other wireless mice that I have tried over the past few months.  This is the first mouse that I have used that did not have any delays or dropouts.

Installing the MK700 was a breeze. I simply plugged the wireless receiver into my USB port and the hardware was ready to use. If you are looking for a desktop change, you will be pleasantly surprised by the MK700. (Reviewed by Meredith Fire-Hess)

The iWatch Concept

File the iWatch under: THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE NOW. The concept was designed by Italy’s ADR Studio and sadly only exists in Photoshop. (Perhaps Steve Jobs will take note and create a new Apple timepiece category?)

It is designed to answer calls that come through on the iPhone in your pocket, or display RSS feeds, weather or photos. It even has a built-in pico projector for letting you show videos on a nearby wall.

Heroes for My Son by Brad Meltzer

When Brad Meltzer‘s first son was born eight years ago, the bestselling writer and new father started compiling a list of heroes whose virtues and talents he wanted to share with his son: Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Jim Henson, Amelia Earhart, Muhammad Ali . . . and so many more, each one an ordinary person who was able to achieve the extraordinary. The list grew to include the fifty-two amazing people now gathered in Heroes for My Son, ($19.99) a book that parents and their children—sons and daughters alike—can now enjoy together as they choose heroes of their own.

From the Wright Brothers, who brought extra building materials to every test flight, planning ahead for failure, to Miep Gies, who risked her life to protect Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis during World War II, Heroes for My Son brings well-known figures together with less famous ones, telling the inspiring, behind-the-scenes stories of the moment that made them great. They are a miraculous group with one thing in common: each is an example of the spectacular potential that can be found in all of us.

Heroes for My Son is an unforgettable book of timeless wisdom, one that families everywhere can share again and again.

The 128 page hardcover is available in stores now.

Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.

This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
