Hasta La Gadget!

If you use Gmail, you may or may not have noticed Web Clips at the top of your inbox.  Until recently even though I’ve been a user for quite some time, I hadn’t noticed it. Web Clips are news headlines, blog posts, RSS and Atom feeds, and relevant sponsored links found at the very top of your inbox. Below is a screenshot of my inbox which shows a Web Clip:

The thought to go check the web clips in my spam folder never even crossed my mind until today when I saw an article posted at the Official Gmail Blog titled “Del-eat your Spam.” Associate Product Marketing Manager Miriam Schneider who’s worked with the Gmail team for six months now explained her new discovery:

Even though I’ve worked on the Gmail team for about six months and have been a fan for years, I continue to notice new things in the product all the time. Like the other day, when out of curiosity, I checked out my spam folder to see what kind of bank scams or enlargement pills were being filtered from my innocent eyes, and I noticed something below the search box. Was that really a recipe for spicy SPAM kabobs?

It sure was a recipe for Spam Kabobs! As it turns out, members of the Gmail team decided that it didn’t make sense to show RSS feeds and sponsored ads in the Spam folder and so they decided to include some spam recipes to make use of the Web Clips feature. Check it out for yourself, there’s a whole slew of different recipes that include spam. Here are a few recipes I came across:

• Spam Skillet Casserole
• Spam Vegetable Strudel
• Spam Quiche
• Spam Hashbrown Bake

I’ve never even tried Spam before, but if you’re someone who eats it, and likes it for that matter, your Gmail Spam Folder is going to be more useful than you ever knew it could be!

Iconoculture: Forget 140-character text-based tweets. Twitter users can now send audio tweets to each other using a third-party service from Internet communication provider Jajah. The service, whose beta name is Jajah@call, gives Twitter users the chance to make two-way calls with other users by typing “@call @username.”

Jajah’s free service allows Twitter users to tweet friends and strangers alike, as Jajah@call keeps phone numbers private. And just like text-based tweets, users may ignore the audio tweet and choose not to respond.

Nokia’s teamed up with fashion house RAOUL for a special, limited edition N97 mini. The leather-heavy pack will contain a stripe-emblazoned N97 mini with a custom designed Fashion Asia widget and a calf-skin leather case. The whole shebang will come in a leather bound RAOUL box. The production will be limited to just 1000 units (sort of good news for the calves, we suppose), so if you live in Singapore and want to get one, we’d suggest getting a move on: they’re up for pre-order right now for 400 euro — about $589.

Notepad can be a great tool for those people looking for simplicity and no formatting, but wouldn’t it be nice if you could get a few more features? Notepad++ is based upon the ease-of-use of the Windows Notepad but has an extensive feature set. The most useful feature that it has for me is the syntax highlighting for many types of programming languages:

Supported languages : C, C++, Java, C#, XML, HTML, PHP, Javascript, RC resource file, makefile, ASCII art file, doxygen, ini file, batch file, ASP, VB/VBS source files, SQL, Objective-C, CSS, Pascal, Perl, Python, Lua, TCL, Assembler, Ruby, Lisp, Scheme, Properties, Diff, Smalltalk, Postscript and VHDL.

That is a pretty exhaustive list! You can also create some macros or view multiple documents at the same time with the use of the split-screen feature (pictured above). Don’t worry about cluttering up your taskbar either because Notepad++ has built-in tabs so that opening multiple files isn’t such a pain.

The list of features goes on and on but you can check out more screenshots or just head on over to download Notepad++. The new version that was just released is Notepad++ 3.8 and if you would like there is a list of bug fixes and new features available for your viewing pleasure.

We’re not sure whether we’ll see official PR before then, but it seems that T-Mobile is quietly slipping lucky individuals invites to “executive briefing” events for the upcoming Onyx / 9700 / Bold 2 to be held early next month. Boy Genius Report so far seems to have the inside line on a November 3 date in LA followed by November 5 in the Big Apple, and like pretty much everything else BlackBerry-related, “business casual” attire is suggested. Certainly seems to match up nicely with a November 11 retail launch, doesn’t it?
