Hasta La Gadget!

We’re sure many of you guys have experienced getting your earphone cables caught on something, like the edge of the table, the door handle, and etc., and the result is either the cables getting yanked out violently from your device, or it could pull the device from your pocket or hands and make it crash to the floor. However wouldn’t it be great if there were a way to connect our earphones to our media devices without worrying about that? Something like Apple’s MagSafe adapter where it would disconnect without causing the device to crash to the floor? Well that’s what the Pogo concept aims to achieve.

According to the Pogo’s description, “Using a neodymium magnet and 4 “pogo” pins, a strong connection is made between the two pieces, passing the signal through. The end result is a product that is universally useful, and innovates a technology that hasn’t changed much since its inception in the 60′s.” Essentially it would be similar to the MagSafe adapter in which the cable would disconnect if too much force is applied on it, but at the same time strong enough so that it will not disconnect too easily. Unfortunately the Pogo is a concept meaning that there’s no telling if and when it would be made a reality, but in the meantime you can check it out in the video above.

Just last week a Diablo 3 teaser page was released with the title, Reaper of Souls. It was hinted that this could be the upcoming expansion for Blizzard’s action RPG, Diablo 3, and in case you were thinking that it might be something else despite previous hints, it looks like the expansion can be confirmed, and that the trailer itself will be shown off at Gamescom which is taking place in Germany. This is thanks to the German classification board who posted classification details. The posting was titled “D3 D3C & D3XP (gamescom Trailer)” with its publisher listed as Blizzard Entertainment SAS, and the genre being referred to as “trailer”.

The fact that the title itself says “D3XP” is pretty much a dead giveaway, not to mention Blizzard’s own Nick Carpenter was quoted last week as saying, “Wrapped another amazing cinematic. Can’t wait to show the world!” all but confirms the expansion. In any case we expect it shouldn’t be too long before the trailer makes its debut, so be sure to check back with us later for the details and hopefully a video as well! So, who else is excited about the upcoming Diablo 3 expansion?

After mentioning it earlier this year, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX fame released detailed information on the Hyperloop he imagines, something that could quickly transport passengers from one location to another. To give the curious and ambitious a better look at what could be, the plans have been rendered and 3D printed to scale. […]

Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen several hints and leaks that suggested that BlackBerry could be working on a Porsche Design version of the BlackBerry Z10, and with all the evidence we’ve seen so far, we’d be surprised if they did not announce the device in the near future. Now thanks to a sighting within the BlackBerry OS 10.2.0.1371 which has yet to be released to the public, more evidence of the Porsche Design BlackBerry Z10 has been sighted, and according to reports, they appear to be renders of the device which could possibly be from tutorials within the operating system.

While the image above does not say anything about it being a Porsche Design, the way the handset has been designed, along with the Porsche font, and the model number P’9982 (successor to the P’9981) seems to suggest otherwise. Unfortunately there are no images of the front of the device as these images appear to be part of a tutorial on how to insert a memory card and connecting the device to a charger. No word on when BlackBerry will announce the P’9982, but hopefully it will be soon and we can only imagine it will be announced alongside the BlackBerry Z30, so stay tuned for more updates!

We can’t say we’re in love with Samsung’s Galaxy S III mini, especially with a next-gen model already official. But if today’s @evleaks post is to be believed, last year’s not-so-brightest star in the Galaxy will be coming to AT&T. The date on the render up above is fixed on August 23rd, which is when we’re expecting the Galaxy Mega to make its US debut, so there’s a chance we might see the GS III mini then as well. Still unknown is why AT&T would be bringing a humdrum 2012 handset to subscribers this late in the game, but if it does hit retailers this summer, it better come in with a MSRP far below handsets we’d actually recommend. Like, say, the Galaxy S 4.
