Hasta La Gadget!

Joyce Giraud de Ohoven is one of the new housewives on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and she seemed determined to try and make a name for herself. Housewives can become famous for the epic fights they get into on the show, but this wasn’t going to be one of those. Joyce confronted Lisa Vanderpump to tell her how rude she was — and it was all over hair.

“You were so rude to me the first time,” Joyce said. “I was just fixing your hair.”

“And I said, ‘I’m okay with that,'” Lisa replied. But it was the other part of what she said that bothered Joyce. Lisa also told Joyce to just leave it, it’s fine. And that she doesn’t care.

If you walk through a Chinese electronics market, you’ll find countless wearables, including a variety of smartwatches. Why, then, is this China-exclusive a significant introduction? Well, the Appscomm Fashioncomm A1 is the first smartwatch to include the Mirasol display we first saw in Qualcomm’s Toq prototype, which means that 1.55-inch MEMS panel is actually coming to market. The A1 delivers much of the functionality we experienced with the device in our September hands-on, with an added GSM chipset, enabling you to make and receive calls directly from your wrist.

It’s not the first watchphone we’ve seen — and past iterations can hardly be deemed a success — but as the first such device to integrate Qualcomm’s new Mirasol panel, it’s at least worth a casual mention. With the A1, Appscomm is also bundling an integrated camera, letting you snap stills and video clips a la Samsung’s Galaxy Gear. There’s also Bluetooth connectivity, along with a 450mAh battery that’s rated for up to 190 hours of standby time. Smartwatch enthusiasts based in China can pre-order the device for RMB 1,299 ($213) beginning today.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition, you can now put down your pitchfork and stop dripping with envy. Apparently, Android KitKat is also gracing not only the Sense-less version of HTC’s One today, but also the non-TouchWiz device. When the phone getting Android 4.4 in its purest form, you can look forward to all the features the updated platform promises, including a better camera app and longer battery life. The update should soon be available for download via Settings — if it’s yet to arrive, that is — those who own a version of the Galaxy S4 with all of Samsung’s software tweaks will have to sit tight a while longer.

After far too many weeks, according to “Dancing With the Stars” enthusiasts, Bill Engvall finally danced his last dance. The comedian outlasted many celebrities who outscored him on the dance floor week after week, making it into the first part of the two-night season finale. He fell just short of the finish line, though.

Once again, Engvall had the lowest scores on the night with 51, but this time they would prove his undoing. Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke scored 57, so they’re going to have to step it up. The other competitors on Tuesday night’s special episode are Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff, and Amber Riley and Derek Hough.

Engvall was gracious in his departure, saying, “It just goes to prove to me, there is a God! Because I don’t think I could make one more dance.” He had nothing but praise for his partner Emma Slater, saying she’s like a second daughter to him.
