DON’T-MISS TV|The second season of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” kicks off at 8 tonight on Bravo. There’s nothing funny about these mostly overindulged and empty women, but their skewed values say something about our culture. Their lives are as pathetic as the “Desperate Housewives”‘ fictional selves are soap-operatic.

GADGET|More than any other GPS manufacturer out there today, Mio Technology has really focused its attention on creating GPS devices for use outside of the car. The Mio H610 features an ultraportable design that makes it a great navigation aid while on foot or on a bicycle. It comes preloaded with maps, travel tools, games and a multimedia player. However, the smaller screen doesn’t make it ideal for in-car use, and the H610 doesn’t support text-to-speech functionality. This ultraportable device is an accurate navigator and a decent multimedia player for use on foot. Price range is $390-$500.
