good morning Hyrum... interesting... I have noticed the exact same thing happening to me, along with my nails are in terrible shape which is not normal for me. Today I decided to look at the side effects of Nexium, found nothing about hair loss/thinning but did find your question posted on this web site. Blood test show that I am not deficient in anything... I have been on Nexium for a very long time 10yrs & have notice my hair loss/thinning happening for a long time but increased over the last 4 yrs... I guess it is time to do my own study & got off of Nexium for a while & see just what happens ... I will return to this site to communicate with you if interested... Thanks
Hello., I am also loosing my hair and my nails are in terrible shape too. I notice this happening about 10 month ago, I had try 3 or 4 different drugs , I am taking Nexium now . My daughter found out somewhere in the internet that all these drugs interfere with the production of something call biotin ,which is very important for the health of hair and nails , interesting ! . So.. now I am searching for a way to restore the biotin in my body, I am taking biotin orally and using shampoo that has biotin in it .I also will like to let you know that that these drugs can affect your libido !. I really don't know what to do , if I stop taking nexium I get terrible pain . Please let me know if anybody finds a natural and effective way of taking care of this problem. Thank you
hello! I have been taken nexium for at least 4 years now, maybe longer. My mom has always had real thin hair, but i have always had hair like my dad... very thick and curly hair. It has been getting increasingly thinner over the years and comes out every time i take a shower.. to the point of alarming me! I had wanted to stop taking it to see if it would help, but like the person in the other post, i would be in too much constant pain without it. I am only 30 and I don't want to pick between being in pain or having my hair!!! Anything that anyone finds in the way of offsetting this issue would be wonderful! Thank you!
11 Dec 2013
well so since my last post, i had to change insurances. the new insurance no longer covered nexium, but instead covered a drug called Dexilant. I was very upset about the change at first, bcse in the past nexium was the only thing that kept the acid under control. HOWEVER, i am SO glad that this happened bcse not only does it work, my hair stopped thinning, and healed. I strongly encourage yall to look into it, and to see if ur insurance covers it.. i will say it doesnt work as quickly persay as nexium, but taking it daily like u should itll pick right back up within a couple days. hope this helps!!
Oh my... I have had thinning hair loss for the last couple of years and began wondering if the nexium could cause it. I need to talk to my doctor. My thought was if it can adversely effect bones, why not hair???

Kenya's mobile subscribers continue to grow
| Oct. 11, 2011, 9:44 a.m.By Carole Kimutai, Nairobi, Kenya
The Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) has released its quarterly sector statistics report that shows the increase of 59,066 new mobile subscriptions in three months. According to the report, the total number of mobile subscriptions stood at 25.27 million at the end of June 2011. Kenya has a total population of 40 million.
Kenya's mobile market is dominated by prepaid subscriptions, which represent 99 percent of the total mobile subscriptions. This quarter, postpaid subscriptions grew by 1.18percent compared to 0.02percent for pre-paid subscriptions.
From September 2010 to end of June 2011, Safaricom and Telkom Kenya (Orange) have recorded an increase in subscriber numbers by 148,063 and 11,527 respectively while Airtel Kenya and Essar Telecom Kenya Limited have lost 202,970 and 1,554 subscribers respectively.
Safaricom continues to lead the pack with a total of 17,353,186 subscribers followed by Airtel at 3,614,619, Telkom Kenya at 2,729,016, and Essar at 1,582,947.
Airtel and Essar lost subscribers despite reducing calling charges. Beginning October, Safaricom increased their calling charges by one shilling. Airtel on the other hand announced that it will not increase its calling rates against the backdrop of the current challenging economic environment with high inflation affecting the operational costs for companies and individual customers in Kenya.
Airtel recently relaunched its Airtel Money E-Commerce product with increased agencies offering cash deposit and withdrawal points across the country. It also launched the use MasterCard debit card, PayOnline jointly with MasterCard and Standard Chartered Bank that allows Airtel money customers pay for goods and services on the internet.
The fourth mobile operator, Essar, has waived transaction charges for its money transfer service – yuCash – by introducing a permanent free tariff for its users. As at the end of June 2011, the total amount of deposits made through the mobile phone was recorded at KSh 48 billion.
"The cost of living has really gone up and consumers are experiencing hard times to sustain their socio – economical lifestyles. As such, we are still focused on our low cost model which aims to ensure that communication becomes affordable to all. Our short term strategy is to ensure that our subscribers get to experience the brand," says Madhur Taneja, yuMobile Country Manager.
Telkom Kenya which operates under the commercial brand Orange has recorded a steady increase of subscribers over the past six months. According to CCK statistics, Orange subscriber base stood at 2,729,016 as at June 2011, having grown by nearly 600,000 since December 2010.
Mickael Ghossein, Telkom Kenya Chief Executive Officer attributes the growth to a strategy to increase customer focus has seen the firm consistently strive at finding innovative ways to meet existing and future customer needs. "Among other things, have in the past year enhanced our distribution network with the opening of new and well designed shops across the country and effecting positive changes to our customer care department through the training of staff and addressing queries effectively," Ghossein said.
Telkom is looking at dislodging Airtel from its number two position and being the market leader in data services by the year 2015 through its new 21 Mbps network (3G) and High Definition (HD) voice services.
Calls made
The quarter under review reported 6.24 billion minutes of local calls made on the mobile network against 6.06 billion minutes reported in the previous quarter (January 2011 to March 2011).
Traffic across other mobile networks has continued to grow and by June 2011 it stood at 656 million minutes from 614 million minutes in the previous quarter, representing 6.9percent. CCK attributes the growth in traffic across networks to tariff reduction that has subsequently seen a reduction in the on-net and off-net tariff differentials.
The quarter registered a decline of mobile to fixed traffic by 7.2%. The downward trend over the last three quarters could be as a result of decreased fixed line subscriptions. However, traffic from fixed to mobile networks increased to 47 million minutes from 35 million minutes reported in the previous quarter. The increase may be attributed to a continued in the mobile telephony subscriptions.
International incoming mobile voice minutes increased by 8percent and international outgoing traffic recorded 2.2percent increase. The continued upward trend in international outgoing traffic could be attributed to reduction in international tariffs. Operators are charging calls to the USA, Canada and China as low as KSh 3 per minute.
Data and internet services
By the end of the quarter under review, there were 4.2 million internet subscriptions. However, mobile operators continue to dominate the internet market with more than 98% of internet market share being through the mobile platform.
At 30th June 2011, there were 121,126 broadband subscriptions in the country, an increase of 35.9%. Although there has been gradual growth in the number of broadband subscriptions, the number represents only 2.8% of the total internet subscriptions.
Total international internet connectivity bandwidth increased to 32,270 Mbps from 20,119Mbps reported in the previous period – a 60.4% increase.

Pope Francis has taken "certainly the most friendly, proactive, accommodating position of any Pope probably in history" toward the Jewish people, Rabbi Ken Spiro explained to CNA May 26. The fact that the Roman Pontiff has "gone … [Read more...]

We booked 8 nights in a 2 Bedroom unit at the Horizons by Marriott in Orlando, using a rewards member discount. We arrived at the resort around 12:30 p.m. on Friday. The check in was the easiest of any timeshare we have ever stayed at in Orlando – no lines! We decided to wait for all of our requests to be met. The staff offered to call us on our cell phone when the room was ready. We got a call around the time we were finishing lunch. In Orlando, we have previously stayed in these timeshare resorts - Vistana Resort (4 times), Vistana Villages, Marriott Grand Vista, BWV and SSR. We usually spend a LOT of time at the resort, so the amenities are important to us. Staff - (Ahoy!) were very nice and friendly. A+++, the entrance to the resort has a key card entry and each time we came in a staff member greeted us. Nice security touch. Pools – 2, one with a larger water slide (very fun slide!) near the fountains play area, one pirate pool area which is the area that more kids hung out during our stay. The water was bit cool for the adults when the temp went below 80 degrees. Good pools for younger kids because both have zero entry areas. The hot tubs were very nice. Miniature golf course – If you are an owner, it's free. For rental guests, you can pay a flat $25 fee for everyone in your unit to play for the entire stay. We played almost every day and it was nice course. Open air pavilion with a pool table, 2 ping pong tables – plus the basketball courts. You can play for FREE. A nice touch! We stayed in room 1262. We had a top floor unit with a great view of the lake, away from I-4. The unit was in good condition, with no obvious signs of wear. I liked having a safe in the room. The bedrooms were a bit small, with the beds taking up most of the bedroom. We had 2 queens in one bedroom, one king in the master. The master shower/sink area is open to the bed with a separate toilet room. There is no Jacuzzi which I did miss. The kitchen was well equipped, though it needs a baking sheet. I liked the separate pantry area. The balcony was screened in, with a table and 4 chairs. I liked having the sliding glass door open and having a lake view. We also had a good view of Sea World from the front door. We were hoping to see fireworks but there weren't any the week while we were there. A big perk is the FREE wireless internet access from your timeshare unit! The resort is very small so it's a quick 5 minute walk to anywhere on property. The location has easy access to I-4 and to the south end of International Drive. We drove to the Magic Kingdom/Epcot one day and the drive was easy. Activities – were very hit and miss. We participated in many since we spent a lot of time at the resort. Let's just say that we were disappointed by the activities. Lots of things didn't work and it wasn't very well planned. The activities that were a hit were the cane pool fishing and the scooter races. The kids earn wooden tokens by participating in the activities which they can exchange for small toys that were definitely geared to the under 5 crowd. So far for us, the best Disney area resort for activities is the Vistana Resort. The one HUGE negative IMHO is that the resort is very close to I-4. We found the noise & view of the traffic distracting. Luckily, when we had the windows/door shut in our unit, we could just hear the traffic faintly. In planning our stay, we were torn between the Horizons and Marriott Cypress Harbour. We took a look around CH and it looked like it had more for older kids and adults to do. It's also more lush with more trees and landscaping. CH is also much larger, so it might be a challenge to get a room that has easy access to the pools and activities. In summary, we would stay here again if we got a good deal. However, I'm looking forward to trying another place first.
Thanks for this review. I may be booking horizons as part of the kids free Seaworld package for our offsite stay part. Your review was helpful. I would hope for a lakeview too!
ttfn3 I was reading reviews on Tripadvisor and one mentioned no mid-week maid service, was that the case for you?
Newbie If you are an owner or staying as part of a timeshare deal for a week, the resort has a mid-week maid service. We actually stayed on a Marriott discount, so we had daily trash & tidy (they even filled the dishwasher and started it) - with a midweek full clean (change of linens) It was such a treat! Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thank you for this review. We are staying at Horizons for a week from May 5h to 12th and can hardly wait
Thr traffic noise has me worried now. We usually stay at the grande vista and it is not noisy. How close to I is Horizons and will we hear blaring traffic all night?
3DisneyBuggs The Horizons resort has a clear view of I-4 without anything to buffer the view nor noise (there's a big field between the resort and the interstate). We stayed in the building farthest from the interstate. When we had the windows closed, we could barely hear the traffic. We spent a lot of time at the resort. I found it distracting. When I'm on vacation and sitting on the covered balcony, I don't want to hear the traffic. However, if you aren't spending a great deal of time at the resort, it probably isn't as big of deal.
We are staying here in June! You stated that one room had 2 queens was that 1 queen bed and queen pull out sofa? thanks!
The 2nd bedroom has 2 queen beds (no sofa) - with very little floor space. It had a nice size closet - and there was a door directly into the 2nd bathroom (with tub & shower). This bath also opens the entry area/kitchen.

Razer DeathAdder 2013 Mouse is Stupid Fast
Why you'd buy the old DeathAdder mouse from Razer is anyone's guess, especially since the new one is twice as powerful and costs a mere $10 more.
The Razer DeathAdder 2013 features a 6400dpi 4G Optical Sensor. Last year's model boasted a by comparison simpleton 3500dpi Razer Precision 3.5G infrared sensor. So you see, it not only sports almost twice the dpi, but it now has an optical sensor. Also included are zero-acoustic ultraslick mouse feet, a gold-plated USB connector, on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments, a seven foot lightweight braided cord, and a design that is only compatible with right handed gamers (there is also a lefty version, just make sure you choose that). It's also compatible with Razer's Synapse 2.0 service, which syncs your mouse with the cloud, and automatically downloads the necessary drivers, firmware updates, as well as save individual settings without you needing to "lift a finger".
You can buy the Razer DeathAdder 2013 for $70.

PoliticsVoting for seventh phase ends in India Brisk polling recorded as 89 constituencies across seven states vote to elect their representatives for parliament. 30 Apr 2014 15:36 GMT | Politics, Asia, India Brisk polling was recorded in major Indian states while election boycott in Kashmir marred the exercise [EPA]Polls for 89 seats in several states and two union terroritories have closed in India's staggered Lok Sabha elections. Brisk polling was recorded in the major Indian states while election boycott in India-administered Kashmir marred the exercise on Wednesday. Nearly 70 percent polling was recorded in the first election in Telangana, which is set to become India's 29th state on June 2, while Punjab witnessed 72 percent of polling, according to officials. Live Box 2014491031852522 The union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli saw 85 percent of polling while Daman and Diu, another union territory, recorded a voter turnout of 76 percent. Officials in Bihar recorded a voter turnout of 60 percent while Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh witnessed 56 percent and 70 percent of polling. More than 80 percent voting was recorded in the eastern state of West Bengal while Gujarat recorded 62 percent of voting. One person was killed and dozens injured in India-administered Kashmir when police fired bullets and tear gas to break up anti-India and pro-boycott demonstrations as voters largely stayed away from voting in the restive region. Officials recorded 25.62 percent voting in the region. Both the ruling Congress party and rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have high stakes in the seventh phase of the elections, with 35 and 23 seats from the previous election. Sonia Gandhi, the Congress president; her BJP counterpart Rajnath Singh; and BJP heavyweights LK Advani and Narendra Modi were the key candidates in Wednesday's polls. Some of the politically important constituencies that went to the polls included Gandhi bastion of Rae Bareli and Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, and Gandhinagar and Vadodara in Gujarat. Modi's economic policies under scrutiny Other big names include Farooq Abdullah, the former chief minister of India-administered Kashmir who is locked in a war of words with Modi . India's Election Commission called for a police case after claims that the opposition BJP leader Narendra Modi intended to "influence" voters by flashing his party symbol and addressing media outside the polling station. The election laws forbid campaigning within 100 metres of a polling area. Modi voted in Gujarat's Ahmedabad city where he flashed his party's 'lotus' symbol and later tweeted a selfie. Police have filed cases and the probe has begun. Feature: BJP chief to Al Jazeera - Riot guilty will be punished Aam Aadmi Party, which is striving to emerge as an alternative to the BJP and the Congress party, has fielded candidates in 24 constituencies. Along with Gujarat, Punjab witnessed polls in a single phase, with Arun Jaitley - leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha (upper House of parliament) - battling Amarinder Singh, a former state chief minister, in the keenly fought electoral seat of Amritsar.

In case you missed it, Ontario's record on productivity is dismal.
"We are a productivity laggard," Roger Martin, dean of the Rotman School of Business at the University of Toronto, observed at a news conference I attended late last month. His report ranked our province 14th out of 16 comparable provinces and states across North America. This comes as no big surprise — Ontario has been 14th or 15th in each of Martin's 11 consecutive annual reports.
The reasons: we don't work as hard as Americans, our cities aren't as big as theirs and our firms don't invest as much in software. Plus something to do with our clusters letting us down. Have you stifled a yawn yet?
No doubt productivity is a problem for Ontario. But the things Martin worries about have little apparent bearing on our workaday lives. Besides, does anyone really want to read about cluster policy between Christmas and New Year's? (For the record, cluster policy has nothing to do with walnuts or toffee.)
If we truly want to get Ontario working more efficiently, we ought to be tackling the real threats to productivity we face everyday.
Canada Geese
They've brought down jetliners, permanently fouled our parks and sidewalks, regularly halted traffic and permanently frightened an entire generation of kids and their moms. Naming these birds after Canada is arguably the least successful branding move in marketing history.
Even worse, there's little anyone can do to rid our roads or parks of these grass-munching, poop-dispensing, busy-beaks, since they're protected by Ottawa's Migratory Birds Act. And they don't even migrate!
So here's a thought. What if we demand that every bird hiding behind federal legislation actually migrate once a year? (Waddling from Victoria Park to the University of Waterloo doesn't count.) If a bird wants to stick around all year, they ought to be fair game for dinner.
Movie theatre start times
The schedule says the movie begins at 7:20 p.m., so you arrive a few minutes early. Then you sit through cola ads, bank ads, a gear guide, trivia questions, magic tricks and other onscreen time wasters. It's finally 7:20. Time for the movie? Not a chance.
Now you must endure another ad informing you you're actually sitting in a movie theatre. (Note to movie theatre owners: This is not a surprise. We just paid money to be here.)
Movies, we're told, transport you to new and exciting places! I'm sure they would, IF THE @%&)# SHOW EVER STARTS. Then they demonstrate the sound system. Yes, it's loud. Another ad or two. Half a dozen movie trailers. A reminder to turn off your cellphone. Expect a good 15 additional minutes of productivity destruction before the entertainment begins.
If your car took as long to get going in the morning as a movie — "Welcome: you are now sitting in a car. A car is a magical device that can transport you to wonderful new worlds. Drink cola. Let's look at some other cars you might want to drive. This is what your radio sounds like ..." — there would be mass consumer outrage. Not to mention an economic crisis.
Stickers on fruits and vegetables
We're all supposed to be eating more fruits and vegetables these days. Standing in the way of this are those tiny, insanely grippy product code stickers.
Comedian Steve Martin once said there's a special level in hell reserved just for the inventor of the fruit sticker. We can only hope. What's worse than biting into an apple and finding a sticker on it? Biting into an apple and finding half a sticker.
Stickers have become the new worms, except they've been put there deliberately by the fruit growers themselves. (And when you get to self-checkout and actually need to know the product code for pomegranates, the sticker is nowhere to be found.)
Four-way stop sign martyrs
Hello there fellow driver. I arrived at this four-way stop slightly before you but I'm going to let you go first. What? You're confused by my arm waving. OK, then I'll go first. Wait, now you're going first? No, I'll go. No, you go.
Surely all this lurching back and forth can't be good for the economy. (Although physiotherapists no doubt appreciate the business.)
Computer solitaire
I'm not sure when this happened, but the solitaire game on my computer now comes with an 'undo' button. While this might seem like an improvement to the uninitiated (i.e., anyone who doesn't work from home), it's actually a vicious destroyer of productivity.
Solitaire was once a game beloved for its quick and easy defeats. Over many years, I boasted a winning percentage of less than seven per cent and my obligatory prework morning game was done in a brisk two minutes or so.
Now, with the ability to undo moves, it's possible to win a far higher percentage of games; my winning percentage is up to 30 per cent. It can also take up to 15 minutes or more to scrutinize every possible outcome and hunt down every ace or king in search of victory. That's 15 minutes of potential productivity vapourized each and every day.
You'd think I was waiting for a movie to start.

Antonella Di Luca & Ubaldo Righi have designed a collection of modular bookcase named Citybook for furniture manufacturer Mr. Less & Mrs. More.
Citybook is a modular bookcase, flexible and suitable to any space. Modules and bases can be purchased and arranged to your taste, by customizing their number or choosing among the proposed compositions. Each of the sheet-iron modules can be rearranged with the aid of small magnets.
The DIY take-off light by Fifty Fifty is possibly one of the best interiors idea for home decoration. Designed to be of high originality and individual functionality, designer Maximilian Schmahl of Fifty Fifty try to make the product to work easily and does not take itself too seriously. With your own creativity, you can create your very own special lampshade which will have a special relationship with their owners.
The lampshade is made of two sheets of paper with a very fine perforated pattern of laser stitches which
can be pop up easily with a stick. So it is possible to determine where the light passes through the lamp-
shade. This leads to an endless variety of geometric patterns , sometimes with playful ornaments or harmonic structures of light and shadow .
The metal frame is to be stuck to one piece, the paper sheets are fixed by magnets.

This table with infinity mirror light when activated by designer Louise-Anne van 't Riet made me look.
"Some people never tidy up; why not teach them to do so by designing a playful and beautiful reminder?"
Infinitum is an arduino-powered table that turns on when items are placed on it, and which turns off when they are removed.
This infinity mirror table is designed for people who never tidy up, but leave their belongings everywhere. Lou decided to design a table that would light up when objects were placed on it, giving people a beautiful backdrop for their objects and the illusion of an infinitely deep hole in the floor. This would also encourage users to tidy up before they left a room because the light would only switch off once there was nothing left on the table.
The table is a set of plexiglass mirrors, set up so that the LEDs between them reflect an image back onto the fully reflective mirror. The table construction includes a piezo sensor switch which, when activated, will light the table up.
The Garden Apartment is a collaboration between Miriam Josi and Stella Lee Prowse with a common passion for food and design. With the idea to celebrate the culture of food and home cooking with access to fresh herbs, they created the Nomad Planter.
The Nomad planter is designed to optimize the existing conditions in the home in order to grow herbs in environments with limitations of space, shifting sunlight and changing seasons. The design is adaptable to a variety of environments with limited space for plants. It can hang from a rope, sit on the coffee table, be transported to the window for more sunlight or you may choose to only plant one side and hang it on the wall to create a vertical garden.
Nomad is made from scrap boat sails and boat covers. The materials are locally sourced from the post-production waste of sailmakers in the Bronx.
Architect aMDL- architetto Michele De Lucchi S.r.l. has designed the Public Service Hall for Ministry of Justice of Georgia in Italy.
The building of a new Public Service Hall in Marneuli, a town 30 kilometres south of the capital Tbilisi, was part of a broader government programme for the construction of more than 15 public offices, distributed countrywide and used for the issue of identity cards and other administrative services to citizens. The building, which also houses a branch of the TBC Bank, faces a wide urban junction next to a police station, a cultural centre and a supermarket, all recently built. The square-planned building has a bearing frame of reinforced concrete columns and unfaced box floor slabs. The slightly raised ground floor guarantees natural ventilation and lighting for the basement parking.
The interior is laid out as a central atrium overlooked by the staircase faced in natural oak. Arranged around this atrium, on the mezzanine are the public teller counters and, on the upper level, the offices of the Attorney and his or her staff, the back office and meeting rooms - all located in the outer part of the building in order to benefit from the natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. The volume is infilled with a curtain wall of glazed panels 1.4 metres wide and screened by a tensile structure in silvered PTFE fabric with its distinctive undulating movement.
HK Soap by Run 2 Tree Studio aims to inspire people to reconnect with food, to not only raise awareness but also to encourage our individual responsibility. They create products with natural components, self-developed formula, and cold processes, that are ground with the finest oils and shaped with bare hands.

Near Bethlehem: When she heard President Hunter call her country Palestine at a time when her country didn't even exist on a map, she became intrigued with Mormonism. And this led Sahar Qumsiyeh, a Palestinian raised near Bethlehem, to learn more, eventually becoming a member. In this incredible new Mormon Women interview, you can learn about her triumphs and struggles (see how hard it is just to get to church.)
Bishop released: "Last Sunday was my birthday. I started out the day with a big bowl of Chocolate Cheerios at 6:15 in the morning. I needed it to get me through my last full Sunday as bishop." Maybe this hit me extra hard because my ward's bishop is also being released this Sunday, but I just loved this blogger's personal reflections about being a bishop. "People don't realize that a bishop is carried by angels every day." Click for the entire beautiful essay.
Dr. Who: I love blogs, for how else would this Mormon science fiction writer have found out this happy surprise that the writer of one of his favorite Dr. Who episodes loves his work. A happy surprise indeed! Click to read more.

Life after Nokia: Microsoft Lumia 640 budget WinPho blower
Is the Nokia Microsoft Lumia 640 an Office subscription with a free phone, or a phone with a free Office subscription? Either way, it's likely to be the biggest mobile device for Microsoft since the days of Zune and Kin – and the company is getting more aggressive with its marketing.

Motorola's 5-incher finds the G-spot: Moto G 4G budget Android smartie
Back in December 2013, I hailed the first generation Motorola Moto G as the best affordable smartphone on the market. If you want a reasonably compact 4.5-inch device, then, arguably, it still is the best, thanks to a midlife facelift that added a microSD slot and 4G reception.

Steely wonder? It's blind to 4G and needs armour: Samsung Galaxy S6
I've found life is so much easier if one sticks to three simple rules. Never drive a Volvo car, never buy a Samsung phone, and always grind your own coffee. However, I might have to rethink one of those – and it isn't the coffee.

Apple's 13-incher will STILL cost you a bomb: MacBook Air 2015
Well, it looks as though the writing is on the wall for the MacBook Air. It's still one of the slimmest and lightest laptops around, with impressive 10-12 hour battery life. But that 1440x900 resolution is dead in the water these days – especially at Apple price levels – while the chunky metal bezel around the screen is the tech …

Chewier than a slice of Pi: MIPS Creator CI20 development board

And you'd like it to be discreet …
