The VX Nano Cordless Laser mouse features the world’s smallest plug-and-forget nano-receiver, which makes the mouse ready for use especially for people who are always on the move.
Also, so miniscule (8mm) is the nano-receiver, that when it is plugged into a laptop, the receiver can hardly be noticed against the notebook’s body. Thus, notebook users will not have to worry about the receiver getting misplaced or snagged for that matter!
The Logitech VX Nano Cordless Mouse features the MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel which definitely helps to maximize creativity. When the wheel is in hyper-fast scrolling mode, users will be able to scroll through long documents with just a flick of the finger. However, if a user wishes to shift to the precise, click-to-click scrolling mode, he/she will only be required to press and click the scroll wheel.
Moreover, the VX Nano cordless mouse’s FORWARD and BACK buttons allow for effortless navigation of Web pages and documents alike. Then, there’s the Onbe-Touch search button that provides an instant display of results from the user’s favorite search engine.
Logitech’s VX Nano Cordless Mouse runs on a laser engine which ensures smooth cursor control and precision tracking on just about any surface, while Logitech’s 2.4GHz digital cordless technology provides a robust wireless connection.
Coming to the actual design, the VX Nano mouse has an ultra-portable design as mentioned before. Thus, users will find no trouble in carrying it around. The contoured shape and soft rubber grip is supposed to provide an exceptional level of comfort.
This cordless mouse runs on two AAA batteries which are housed in the base of the VX Nano mouse. The trap door that stores the batteries when opened also reveals a storage compartment for the nano-receiver.
The Logitech VX Nano Cordless Mouse is available in India via Rashi Peripherals for a price of Rs.4,995 along with a replacement warranty of 3 years

Aaja Nachle
She came, she danced and she returned.
That's right. Madhuri Dixit has gone back to her family in Denver, the United States, after her comeback vehicle Aaja Nachle released over the weekend.
Though Madhuri's acting was brillant, there were not many takers for the movie.
Some multiplexes recorded 30 percent ticket sales while the scene in single-screen theatres was even more discouraging.
And this despite no other major competition. The only other release last week was the low budget film Gauri.
"Madhuri danced and acted well but she chose a wrong script," said trade analyst Komal Nahta. "The film was anti-modernisation and therefore did not click."
Comparing the film to John Mathan Matthew's movie starring Ajay Devgan and Shahid Kapoor , Nahta said, "Aaja Nachle was on the lines of Shikhar and therefore it did not appeal to masses. The content was poor."
Adding to Aaja Nachle's woes was the controversy over the lyrics of a song. UP Chief Minister Mayawati, while banning the film, termed the lyrics of the title track as casteist. Punjab and Haryana followed suit, but soon revoked the ban following producers Yash Raj Films' apology and the deleting of the objectionable words.
Though the ban did not amount to huge losses, the damage is already done.
"The theme of saving a dancing school was not good enough. Except for Madhuri, the film had nothing to woo the audience," said trade analyst Vinod Mirani.
"Moreover, to the new generation of cinegoers, Madhuri's name does not mean anything so all the talk of a comeback did not make much sense. There was curiosity among the people for Madhuri but when they saw the promos and got to hear about the script, the curiosity was killed," Mirani added.
Aaja Nachle was not produced at a very high cost, and the only star attraction was Madhuri. The producers, hence, are not likely to suffer heavy losses. One analyst, on condition of anonymity, pegged the "maximum loss" at "Rs 5 crores (Rs 50 million) and not more than that."
But it is a big setback for the country's biggest banner, as Aaja Nachle is its fourth flop of the year, after Ta Ra Rum Pum, Jhoom Bara Bar Jhoom and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag.
The only film that did well for Yash Raj this year was the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chak De! India.

Few tips for safer Online Shopping
Online shopping is the new development that has caught up among the masses. Shopping online is fast and convenient, but it comes with its own set of pros and cons. One such issue is security, which haunts each and every one of us who shop online. According to a research, there was estimated USD 2 billion of online commercial loss in 2006 due to safety concerns. Here are 5 tips discussed by Shekhar Kirani, vice president of VeriSign India that will make on line shopping secure.
Look for visual cues
Prominent misspellings and frequent grammatical errors are signs that a web site is fraudulent. One can also look for simple visual cues that show that the site is authenticated and protected. Cues include a green address bar in high-security browsers such as Internet. Explorer 7 and soon, Firefox 3 and Opera. Other visual cues include a padlock icon in either the lower or upper right-hand corner of the screen and https:// in the browser — both of these indicate the site is secured.
Check out 2-factor authentication
A growing number of sites are accepting a second form of user authentication that comes from physical devices such as a token, credit-card form factor, a USB drive, and even your cell phone. According to Kirani, “Each device provides users with a dynamic onetime password that must be entered into a login page in addition to their user name and password. The extra layer of security prevents potential fraudsters from accessing personal accounts that are accessed by a simple user name and password.”
Compare the checkout experience to well-known sites and look for anomalies
Most well-run web sites — such as Amazon or eBay — send orderconfirmation, shipping confirmation e-mails, and allow you to print outconfirmations of your orders. Beware of a simple form with no “visual cues” and no confirmation that you entered or ordered anything.
Know your vendor
Read their ratings and reviews from other customers and take red flags seriously. Also make sure you have some way of contacting them — look for a phone number and mailing address. Finally, try to find out where the company is based in their “about us” section.
Pay attention to the order form
The site should not ask for more than your name, shipping address, billing address, credit card type and number, and expiration. Data such as bank account number, etc. shouldn’t be collected. Finally, make sure that the sites with which you indulge into business provide proper security measures to protect their most valuable asset-you, the customer.
