Hasta La Gadget!

Our favorite online-storage service Dropbox got a major update today, finally bringing it out of beta and into version 1.0.

Most notably, the update introduces a big performance boost and a feature we’ve desired for a long time: selective syncing.

Now instead of syncing your entire Dropbox folder to every computer you use, you can choose to sync only specific folders to certain computers to save space (for instance, if you have a netbook that you don’t watch movies on.) This could save you a lot of time and space.

Dropbox has posted a full explainer on service enhancements and features.

Yeah, we know, you’re still having a hard time thinking of Hyundai as a luxury car brand. Get with the times, man. The Equus (“echoos”) is legitimately high-end, and not just because each and every one comes with a 16GB WiFi iPad pre-loaded with the car’s owners manual. Naturally this isn’t just a boring stack of info that you’ll only pull out to look up tire pressures and engine oil capacity — oh no. This is a properly interactive experience showing you how the directional headlights work, providing videos of various interior configurations (including the reclining “First Class” rear seats with legrests), and even offering what looks to be something of a driving game. Sure, it’s no Real Racing, but it is free, and you can check it out in the App Store now. Or, you can just live vicariously through the video below.

The $80 Scout headset from NOX Audio promises to do all that and act as a hands-free microphone for your phone. Plus it has a cable that looks so much like an al dente piece of linguini we couldn’t resist trying it. How does it taste in a white clam sauce and, more importantly, how does it act as a headset? Read on to find out.
