Traveling by plane is cumbersome and tiring. You have to bring everything you think you might need, as well as a few extra days worth of clothes in case of emergencies, and arrive insanely early to get through security. If being at the top of the weight limit for your luggage, carry on, and personal item wasn’t stress-inducing enough, there’s always the added bonus of having to lug it all over creation. If you hate running from gate to gate and wish you didn’t have to expend so much energy during an already taxing journey, then why not integrate a scooter into your luggage?
The Coolpeds Breifcase E-Scooter is the perfect way to zoom around the airport without having to use any of your own personal storage of energy. It can go up to 10km on one charge, and can zip around at 20km an hour. The handlebars can be adjusted just like any other scooter, and it will fold down quickly whenever you no longer need to ride on it.
There are solar panels available for an extra $100, which is going to make the introductory price of $599 jump up even higher. If we’re going to be honest with ourselves, this is a massive waste of money. Especially in regards to the solar panels, as carry-ons hardly even see the light of day and would be useless unless you turn this into your main bag for everything. There’s no need to move this fast, and if you really must, there are carts in airports to get you from point A to B faster.

While there are about 300 million Skype users around the planet, chances are that you are one of them. It is therefore great news that Skype has once again updated and release a new version of their app for Mac. As mentioned in the official blog entry, the bunch of issues that were fixed in the update will significantly reduce CPU consumption thus making the app more stable and efficient.
There are six issues under four categories that were fixed. The categories include Messaging, Voice, Screen Sharing and Application. The six issues that were fixed are mostly related to the app crashing nature, such as the input field that occasionally disappeared and high CPU usage with animated emoticons.Issues with preventing call UI from coming up when making a call soon after signing in, screen flickering when the shared window is off-screen and instance of AppNap preventing Skype from reconnecting have also been fixed.
However, there are also one known problem mentioned without any viable solution. Under the Screen Sharing Category, Skype’s screen sharing has not fixed its tendency to not received after pausing and resuming of call.
Apart from having most of its minor glitches fixed, the biggest feature of the new version is perhaps the 14 new languages that it now supports. The new 14 new languages include: Hindi, Turkish, Czech, Ukrainian, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian, Indonesian, Catalan, Croatian, Slovak, Vietnamese, Thai and Malay.
But all in all, the update is most welcoming news for those Mac users who rely heavily on the app. Please note that Skype 7.5 for Mac requires Mac OS X 10.9 or higher.
