Tech toys: Tech Toys: video sunglasses; designer notebook & more
It's no longer enough to lug around a laptop, or even a niftier netbook. Today's fashionista must be sporting `digital clutch' chic. HP has teamed up with designer Vivienne Tam to produce a specially designed netbook that made its debut as part of Tam's spring collection. While it has the regular features of a mini notebook - such as the built-in webcam - it caters to the fashion crowd with a feature that turns the webcam into an instant mirror. And on the outside, it shows off Tam's `butterfly lovers' design. It features up to 5.5 hours of battery life, a 10.1-inch diagonal LED screen and a 93-per-cent of full-sized keyboard. It has two gigabytes of memory, with a hard drive option of up to 320 GB, and runs on Windows 7 Premium. At 1.2 kilograms (2.7 pounds) and a slim 2.5 centimetres (one-inch) thickness, you could carry it in your purse or shoulder tote (www.hp.com/viviennetam).

Time for gardeners to spring into action
This Saturday, the first day of spring, marks a time in the year of equal length in day and night -- an equinox.
