Hasta La Gadget!

You’ve been able to pre-order an HTC EVO 3D since last week, but it involved a bit of a leap of faith since both price and release date were unannounced. Well, we can now solve at least one of those mysteries — the EVO 3D will run you the industry standard $200 with a 2-year contract, while the commitment averse can snatch one up for $500. You can save yourself an extra $100 by picking yours up at RadioShack and trading in your EVO 4G or Shift 4G. Obviously, you’ll still have to plunk down for the monthly “premium data add-on” and exactly when you’ll be able to start leaving fingerprints all over that glasses-free 3D screen is still anybody’s guess but, hey, at least it comes with a free copy of The Green Hornet and the Black Eyed Peas’ Phenomenon. You know, because while a high-end smartphone may cost $200 on contract, good taste is priceless.

When Su Meck got hit with a ceiling fan and woke up one week later with a total memory loss, her husband Jim thought “she was Su 2.0. She had rebooted.” More »

We’ve seen panorama add-ons for the iPhone before, but Kogeto’s offering is quite a bit more pocketable than other crowd-funded solutions. The Kogeto Dot snaps onto an iPhone 4 in your choice of pastel colors, and catches 360-degree video when placed face down. It’s got an accompanying iOS app that will un-distort the video for sharing, or even broadcast it on the net in real time. We got to check out a prototype, and though there’s still some residual distortion at this point in time, we’re assured that it’ll all get straightened out if and when the project meets its funding goal. Interestingly (and annoyingly), this implementation requires your iPhone be held perpendicular rather than upright, making previewing a capture virtually impossible until after you’ve stopped the recording, which seems unnatural to us. Combine that with a minimum Kickstarter pledge of $98 to secure one of your own, and suddenly the less-portable and lower-degree alternatives start sounding a little more attractive. If you’re still interested, hit the source link below and get in on the action. Promo video after the break.

SeizeTheDay could be the best if you prize simplicity and a price tag of zero. This slick little app doesn’t sync with anything, but it does track your tasks and remind you to do them.

Google Operating System scrounged up a great script that helps make Google Documents & Spreadsheets, Calendar, and Picasa Web Albums work a little better with Google services in Opera. Those services have very minor glitches that most Opera users don’t care about and will still use the services. However, Google Calendar, for example, pops up with an annoying prompt each time making sure that you know you’re using an unsupported browser:

To make the Google Services “compatible” just follow these few steps:

1. Find a folder that you can place a JavaScript file in and try to make it a place that won’t get deleted, otherwise you’ll have to do this again. Also, you should try to make sure that there aren’t any unintentional JavaScript files located in that folder otherwise Opera may get confused. By that I mean that there shouldn’t be any other files in that directory with the extension .js and have nothing to do with your Opera installation.
2. Right-click on this JavaScript file and save it to that directory from Step 1.
3. Go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > JavaScript options and into the User JavaScript files box enter in or browse for the directory from Step 1.

That’s all there is to it. I’m sure the Opera users out there will surely love this script, but I still don’t think it should be necessary to use. Google should offer some sort of option for users to disable browser checking all together so that these prompts are never received. Or maybe they should try and make their services officially compatible?
