With all of the computer peripherals that need a USB connection and portables that require a USB port for power, there never seem to be enough to charge every gadget. That's why Scosche's powerFUZE chargers supply extra USB ports for charging at home as well as in the car.

The powerFUZE chargers come in two basic flavors. The HC12VV shown above ($29.99) is the top-of-the-line version and comes with a home charger that plugs into the wall and a car charger that docks inside it, each with its own USB port. The USB12VM is simply a stand-alone car charger version, while other variations are available that also include an iPod/iPhone sync cable.

Thousands of adults and children are injured each year in what's known as "restart" accidents, when an appliance or power tool is being used and a circuit breaker is tripped or the power goes out, and then the user forgets to switch it off before the power comes back on. SafetyGate is designed to prevent restart accidents and employs technology similar to that required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for industrial machinery.

Now that Windows 7 is available, many XP holdouts are looking for a hassle-free way to upgrade to the new Microsoft operating system or move their existing files to a new Windows 7-equipped machine. While switching from Vista is straightforward and Windows 7's Easy Transfer tool will manage the transfer of documents, e-mails, settings and users accounts, it won't move programs.

Enter Laplink's PCMover, which makes the entire process relatively painless. It comes in four versions: PCMover Netbook ($29.95), Home ($39.95), Professional ($59.95) and Upgrade Assistant ($19.95) for in-place upgrades on the same computer.

You don't have to be a tech geek or "Star Wars" freak to appreciate the music from George Lucas' epic sci-fi saga. After all, how many people can't immediately name that tune when the signature notes from John Williams' "Star Wars Theme" play? And who can forget the memorable bar music from the first film in the series?

"Star Wars: In Concert" celebrates the music as well as the movies with a full symphony orchestra, chorus and a giant LED screen that displays classic scenes  from the films that are synchronized to the music. Fire geysers also erupt during key moments for a visceral effect, while laser lights strafe the venue like starships locked in battle.

We all know we should back up our precious data and digital pictures on our computer's internal hard drive, and many people use an external hard drive to avert disaster when their computer crashes. But how do you know what's on the drive and how much space is left without a time-consuming search or a series of mouse clicks?

Halloween is quickly approaching.  So it's time to make your house properly haunting before trick-or-treaters or your fiendishly dressed friends arrive for the big night.

Now that digital cameras have pretty much maxed out their megapixel counts, manufacturers are turning to other tricks to entice buyers. Two of the coolest are the kind of innovative but obvious features that make you wonder why someone never thought of them before.

The Samsung DualView TL225 ($350) and TL220 ($300) include a 1.5-inch LCD screen on the front of the camera as well as a traditional, larger screen on the back. The most obvious use for the front screen is to take the guesswork out of self-portraits and to let photo subjects see what the finished picture will look like.

With hit songs like "Bubbly" and "Realize" from her double-platinum 2007 debut album Coco, Colbie Caillat quickly became one of pop music's biggest stars and most promising talents. And she proved she has staying power with her sophomore album, Breakthrough, which has spawned the Top 20 single "Falling for You."

While such success is heady stuff for anyone still in their mid-20s, Caillat is no stranger to the music business. Her dad, Ken Caillat, was co-producer of one of the biggest-selling rock records in history, Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours," and Colbie has distinct memories of being around rock stars and recording studios as a kid. Her dad also helped out behind the boards on "Breakthrough."

When the college-bound think of prepping for the SAT, they think of time away from things they'd rather being doing, like watching online videos. Via free and fun online vids, Higher Score Insight adds some levity to the usually boring SAT prep process by providing what it calls "suck-free learning."

The videos include characters ranging from a bear that swills energy drinks to learned Mexican lucha libre wrestlers that keep test-takers engaged and entertained. The HSI videos break the SAT content into eight separate episodes, each approximately 12 to 14 minutes long.

According to Microsoft:

Over the weekend, Microsoft learned that several thousand Windows Live Hotmail customers’ credentials were exposed on a third-party site due to a likely phishing scheme. Upon learning of the issue, we immediately requested that the credentials be removed and launched an investigation to determine the impact to customers. As part of that investigation, we determined that this was not a breach of internal Microsoft data and initiated our standard process of working to help customers regain control of their accounts.

As part of standard security "best practices," Microsoft recommends that Hotmail users always change their passwords every 90 days.
