http://www.microsoftstore.com)
The new versions for both Office and/or Mac make working on documents a dream. This powerhouse of products combines ease of use and visual clarity in ways that leave earlier versions far behind. Experts, beginners, and corporate users all get major benefits from this upgrade. Different versions of Office come with different application sets, ranging from a Basic version limited to Word, Excel, and Outlook, to an Enterprise version with everything. You can make dazzling organization charts, pyramid charts, and other visuals for displaying verbal data; corporate users get access to server-based slide libraries, collaborative workspaces for storing and sharing documents, and improved document-security and document-comparison features; no more headaches with sharing documents from different versions – when an older version user double-clicks on an Office 2010 file for the first time, a prompt offers to download a converter package that lets the 2003 version open and save files in the new format; the slider bar for zooming in and out appears in the lower window border and becomes addictive the first time you use it; thanks to the new interface, features such as fonts and page margins are blissfully easy to manage through galleries of prebuilt settings. Similar galleries give instant access to features such as spreadsheet cells that automatically display chart-style color bars; Word has a real-time word count—something editors and writers have wanted for years; Outlook's To-Do Bar gives a one-glance list of pending tasks, and Outlook can send text messages to phones and PDAs via several mobile services; Excel's charting adds subtle colors, and pivot tables are easier than ever – these versions are smoother and clearer than any earlier version, with very few wrinkles (a miracle in itself) – you need it but, most of all, you will want it)

Nintendo introduced portable entertainment in 3D – without the need for special glasses. The Nintendo 3DS system is in a category of one – the experience simply doesn’t exist anywhere else. You have to see Nintendo 3DS to believe it. And it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
• Nintendo 3DS (the system includes two screens - the bottom touch screen makes use of a telescoping stylus that is stored in the unit itself - the top screen displays 3D visuals to the naked eye - looking at the screen is like peering through a window into a world where characters and objects have true depth - the system also has a 3D Depth Slider that lets players select the level of 3D they enjoy the most, or it can be turned off completely - the new Circle Pad provides a full 360 degrees of direction, giving it the freedom and precision needed to play games in 3D worlds - a built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor can react to the motion and tilt of the system, so whether players are twisting their systems side to side or moving them up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS games respond instantly – two other features are great: StreetPass is capable of exchanging game information with other Nintendo 3DS systems as owners pass one another using Mii character data, maps for games or high scores and custom character data for different games - the SpotPass can connect to compatible public hotspots and through a wireless broadband Internet connection at home – each system comes pre-loaded with a variety of fun games, applications and features, such as Nintendo 3DS Camera (1 of 3 cameras that come with it and it takes pictures in 3D) – N3D is also a pedometer, letting users earn Play Coins for the steps they take that can then be traded in for additional content in compatible games and applications (awesome idea)  - you can use it to listen to your MP3 or AAC music files and an upgraded Internet browser is available via a system update – there are just too many features to name but this is a must-have gift for your list this year)

• Mario Kart 7 (buckle up an unforgettable ride with Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends - players of any experience level will get to drive, glide through the air and dive underwater for the first time - they will also discover new customizable karts, new courses and abilities, Community features and multiplayer options that allow up to eight friends to race together wirelessly - best of all, the game makes use of the remarkable capabilities of Nintendo 3DS with access to StreetPass™ and SpotPass™ content and the ability to play in full 3D with awesome 3D courses without the need for special glasses – another first!)

There are also a suite of shortcut keys for input selection and adjustments. Its green backlighting has configurable brightness by hitting Enter and gradually fades at regular intervals. There are many settings to help enhance picture quality. The projector has a bright 300W ultra-high performance lamp making it ideal for viewing films, rated to deliver a high 1,300 ANSI lumens.
