VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks.

Latest technology in town !!!!!!!

The Logitech MX Revolution is arguably the best laser mouse for now, offering unparalleled precision and speed, as well as a great level of comfort. Now Logitech is going even smaller with the VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks.

Features and Specifications
The trouble with many notebook mice is that they lack the same level of functionality as their desktop counterparts. When taking on a smaller form factor, these smaller mice tend to lose extra buttons and things that make full-sized mice so much nicer. Thankfully, this is not the case with the VX Nano. With the exception of the zoom slider, the VX Nano can do just about everything that the larger VX Revolution can do. It’s almost up there with the MX, despite being about half the size.

·World’s smallest USB receiver: barely larger than a coin, the receiver is so tiny you can plug it into your notebook just once and forget about it.
·Robust wireless connection with advanced 2.4 GHz cordless technology.
·Stylish protective pouch included in the package
·Longer battery life: Get up to 6 months of use or longer with the convenient on/off switch.
·Ultra-portable mouse design
·Storable receiver: Store the nano-receiver inside the mouse when you need to free up a USB port. Shuts down when stored, saving more battery life.
·Hyper-fast scrolling: Fly through long documents at hyperspeed with the nearly frictionless scroll wheel, or shift instantly to precise scrolling.
·Forward/backward buttons: Effortlessly navigate the Internet with Forward and Back buttons.
·Laser precision: Experience smoother cursor control on virtually any surface. The VX Nano outperforms ordinary optical mice.

MYTHS AND LEGENDS

The king’s aggressive reputation and its lethal defenses have inspired people to view its powers as godlike. In India and Southeast Asia, societies have long revered cobras and king cobras and placed them at the center of their most sacred rites.

Snake charmers do not really hypnotize cobras with their flute music. It’s often a sad con game in which an exhausted cobra is put on the defensive, yet conditioned (with pain) not to strike the flutist.

THE ROYAL DOMAIN

With a range that covers much of Asia, the king keeps a wardrobe that adjusts to suit several different habitats.

The king’s natural realm stretches from India eastward to Vietnam, southern China, and the Philippines, and southeast through Malaysia and Indonesia. Yet throughout its vast range the king cobra is not common anywhere, and in India it has become rare from habitat loss.

One of the king cobra’s natural habitats is the cool undergrowth of rain forests. It often stays near streams, where the temperature and humidity are relatively constant. It spends almost a fourth of its time up in trees or bushes, but also likes plains and mangrove swamps. As deforestation causes the king’s habitat to shrink, it can find itself in enemy territory—the human realm of tea estates and villages.

Depending in part on its habitat, a king cobra’s color varies from olive-brown to gray to a deep, shiny black. In general, royals in dark forests have darker skins, and those in open forest or plains have lighter skins.

A NOBLE MEAL

You might reconsider a royal invitation to dine even if you are a reptile. The king cobra doesn’t stray far from its own species for a meal. The king’s Latin name (Ophiophagus hannah) refers to its favorite meal— ophiophagus means snake-eater. King cobras prefer nonvenomous snakes like the rat snake, but they also dine on venomous Indian cobras, kraits, and even small king cobras, thus earning the ignoble title, ‘cannibal.’

With no limbs or cutting teeth, the king is unable to tear its food. However undignified, the king gulps down every meal whole.

Its digestive tract is like a long straight tube. Blunt teeth puncture the
food and the venom’s enzymes start the digestive process. From the long stomach, food travels through the small intestine, the large intestine, and then out the cloaca.

THE IMPERIAL POSE

The king’s hood plays a big part in its fearsome “threat posture,” and is made by spreading the ribs in its neck.The king can stand up to one third of its total length, or from three to six feet (one to two meters) high, and has the ability to move forward in the intimidating pose.
An upright posture without the hood extended is a friendly gesture and the snake often assumes this pose to see over bushes or tall grasses.

The king’s hiss is much lower than most snakes’, more like a dog’s growl. It’s produced by tiny holes in the trachea and is resonated by the lung.

To impress a rival, male king cobras resort to wrestling—male combat is a ritual conflict in which the first one to push the other’s head to the ground wins.

THE SOVEREIGN SENSES

How does a king cobra see? How does a creature hear with no ears? And how does a snake smell with its tongue?

The king can’t see the royal purple—or any other color. Still, its eyesight is better than most snakes’. It’s good enough to see a moving person almost 330 feet (100 meters) away.
The snake focuses by moving the lens in and out, and can sleep with eyes open, seemingly alert.

With no external ears or eardrums, it’s understandable that until recently, experts maintained “Snakes are deaf.”
It turns out that king cobras do hear, however. Sounds travel from the skin to the jaw muscle to the quadrate bone next to the ear bone. From there they pass to the inner ear. Nevertheless, response to a snake charmer’s flute is due to visual cues.

Taste and smell merge for most snakes, thanks to the way their tongue and Jacobson’s organ work together. By flicking its tongue, a snake brings odors in to ‘nostrils’ inside the mouth. These nostrils lead to the Jacobson’s organ, two cavities lined with sensitive nerve endingsthe king can even smell water at a distance.

THE KINGS ARMOURY

It has a head as big as a man’s hand and can stand tall enough to look you straight in the eye.

Its venom can stun your nervous system and stop your breathing.The king cobra’s deadly fangs are almost half an inch (8-10 millimeters) long. Because they are fixed to the upper jaw, they have to be short. If they were longer, the king might bite the floor of its mouth and commit royal suicide. Angled back into the snake’s mouth, the fangs help push the prey on its path to the stomach.

A regal bite delivers venom from glands attached to the fangs. The flexing of a small muscle forces the venom through the hollow fangs into the victim. Within minutes, neurotoxins stun the prey’s nervous system, especially the impulses for breathing. Other toxins start digesting the paralyzed victim.

Drop for drop, a king cobra’s venom is actually less lethal than a common cobra’s. The king more than makes up for it by delivering more venom per bite—as much as .2 fluid ounces (7 milliliters) of liquid. That’s enough to kill an elephant, or 20 people.

KINGS AND QUEENS

How do you tell a king from a queen? The answer lies in the length and taper of the tail. But there’s more to snake mating than meets the eye.

Potential mates find each other by sending “scent messages.” Both males and females give off a musk in the mating season. When a male picks up the scent of a nearby female he pursues her and rubs her with his head. If she’s not interested, he persists by using his head to butt and push her around.

Once she’s aroused, the male inserts the nearest of his pair of hemipenes, genitals stored inside the tail, just behind his vent. The pair can stay joined like this for hours. Scientists think that some king cobras mate for life.

THE KING OF ALL SNAKES, THE KING COBRA

It seems unfairly menacing that a snake that can literally "stand up" and look a full-grown person in the eye would also be among the most venomous on the planet, but that describes the famous king cobra.King cobras can reach 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length, making them the longest of all venomous snakes. When confronted, they can raise up to one-third of their bodies straight off the ground and still move forward to attack. They will also flare out their iconic hoods and emit a bone-chilling hiss that sounds almost like a growling dog.Their venom is not the most potent among venomous snakes, but the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite—up to two-tenths of a fluid ounce (seven milliliters)—is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant. Fortunately, king cobras are shy and will avoid humans whenever possible, but they are fiercely aggressive when cornered.
