Hasta La Gadget!

At this point, we’re pretty sure that the LG Nexus 4, the Samsung Nexus 10, and the Nexus 7 32GB all exist. We were supposed to find out if our suspicious are correct on Monday, but thanks to the threat of Hurricane Sandy, Google has been forced to postpone its Android event that was originally scheduled for October 29. Thankfully, the folks at BriefMobile are here with a new video to whet our appetite for some Nexus 10 action, giving us a brief glimpse at the much-rumored tablet.

When we say “brief,” we mean it too – the video is a mere 5 seconds long. It would appear that the person who leaked the video to BriefMobile is a master at the art of trolling, as five seconds isn’t enough time to do much of anything. Indeed, we only see a split-second shot of the lock screen in the video, followed by the user booting Chrome. Other than that, there’s nothing, so here’s hoping that you weren’t holding out for anything big.

Still, with this video we get some solid evidence of the Nexus 10′s existence, along with a glimpse at that snazzy 2560 x 1600 display. From a display standpoint, the Nexus 10 certainly looks like an excellent tablet, and rumors have been suggesting that it has some solid innards to go along with that beautiful screen. We’ve been hearing that the Nexus 10 will be sporting a dual-core Samsung Exynos 5250 processor clocked at 1.7GHz, 2GB of RAM, a five-megapixel rear camera, and 16GB of internal storage. The source of this leak also confirmed that the Nexus 10 will have GPS, so we’ve got that to look forward to as well.

BriefMobile’s leakster also said that the back of the Nexus 10 is made of polycarbonate material, and that the whole device is very slim and lightweight. It sounds like Google could have a hit on its hands with the Nexus 10, so now all we need is a reveal and we’ll be set. Even though that reveal won’t be coming on Monday as originally planned, you can bet that Google will want to host its event as soon as possible once Hurricane Sandy subsides. Keep it tuned here to SlashGear for more information!

DETROIT — Nothing is stopping them – not even the Triple Crown winner at the plate with the bases loaded.

Armed and accelerating, the San Francisco Giants became the first team to throw consecutive World Series shutouts in nearly a half-century, blanking Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers 2-0 on a chilly Saturday night for a commanding 3-0 lead.

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is from Benjamin, who feels a little let down by the most recent changes to Evernote’s image-sharing software. If you’re looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“Hi guys. I’m a graphic designer who, until recently, used a desktop app called Skitch to quickly share images with clients. I loved being able to just click and drag a portion of my desktop, click “share” and have it uploaded in a seconds. Of course, Evernote has screwed with it, so now it won’t default to keeping my pictures private (not so good for the clients, or my reputation) and the new layout hides the sharing feature in a stupid drop-down menu. Frankly, a really useful piece of software has been ruined, so can you suggest a replacement?”

We feel your pain Benjamin, even if we did have to slice out your more colorful descriptions of Evernote from your e-mail. A site favorite has been ruined by the changes, and as such we’re on the hunt for an alternative.

• Jing, from TechSmith lets you share screenshots and even record video on your desktop.
• Slingshot is a Mac exclusive that’ll set you back $3, but uses the cloud service of your choice (Dropbox, Imgur etc)

Of course, this is the moment where we turn it over to our amazing commenters, who we hope will share the skinny. You never know, maybe some enterprising indie dev has already created the program to replace that hole in our lives — friends, head down below, grab the candle and bang on.

Oh, Carphone Warehouse — it just can’t seem to keep what it knows about the LG / Google Nexus 4 under lock and key. Just days after briefly listing the phone on its website, purported in-store displays for the yet unannounced device have leaked out to Android Authority. While essentially of the details are the same as what we saw last (1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 SoC, 8MP cam, 12-hour talk time rating, etc.), the listing reveals that the “sim-free” phone itself will sell for £390 (about $504) — previously we’d only seen the per-month pricing at £31, which is also found here. There’s no mention of that October 30th sale date this time, and it would seem unlikely now given that Google’s had to indefinitely postpone its NYC-based Android event for the 29th due to hurricane Sandy. For now, you can get more details from the source link below.
