Hasta La Gadget!

We know the feeling of going to the Apple store, asking for a product, only to find out it’s out of stock, and have this experience repeated in the next 2-3 stores you visit. This is why when the website Apple-tracker.com was live, it made things a lot more convenient. Apple did not appreciate this and has since ordered the website to be shutdown. Well it looks like Apple could be issuing a new shutdown notice in the near future as a new tool has made its way online, this time to help Retina iPad mini customers find out which store has the tablet in stock.

Oddly enough this tool is being hosted on Seaturtle.org, which we guess is a way to help hide it by keeping its name discreet and obscure, and definitely not as obvious as Apple-tracker.com. The website will offer users a grid in which it lists the availability of Retina iPad minis for every Apple retail store in the US. This tool also appears to be crowd sourced, meaning that if an area runs out of stock or if the information is unavailable, users will be able to edit the individual cells accordingly. As it stands walk-in sales are not allowed until supply has been stabilized, so you’d have to make a personal pickup.

In any case as it stands, carriers such as AT&T and Verizon have announced that they are backorderd on the Retina iPad mini, so hopefully this tool will be able to help out with those looking to get their hands on the tablet.

Twitter, the world’s second largest social network behind Facebook, has launched a new feature today called custom timelines. Users will have the ability to name their custom timelines and add tweets to it, so basically they’ll have a separate timeline that they curate which only displays tweets related to a particular topic or hashtag. These timelines can be embedded on websites and can be easily shared with others as they’ll be public and will have their own page on twitter.com.

The feature will definitely make it easier to follow topics or events in real-time, related tweets will be displayed in an entirely different timeline and users won’t have to comb through their main Twitter timeline to locate them. This goes beyond the existing lists feature by offering more customization and sharing options. Twitter will allow developers to tap into custom timelines through the new API beta it announced today. TweetDeck will be the first app to incorporate this new feature, users can create custom timelines within the app and simply drag and drop tweets from the other columns to populate them. The feature will be rolled out to TweetDeck for web, Chrome and PC over the next few days, while it will be “coming soon” to the Mac app.

Google has announced yet another new feature for Gmail today, its the ability to save documents directly to Google Drive from within the email itself. Just yesterday Gmail was updated to supercharge “quick action” buttons, which now support a variety of different services like OpenTable, Google Offers and more. The ability to save documents directly to Google Drive eliminates the need for downloading attachments on the device if you don’t want to, and since attachments are stored in the cloud, they’re easily accessible any time through any device, be it a computer, phone or tablet.

Emails in the Gmail inbox will now show previews of attached files at the bottom, everything from photos and videos to spreadsheets and PDFs will be previewed. Clicking on the preview will open a full screen view of the document in Gmail, here users can search for a particular phrase, browse through multiple attachments to just take a a quick peek at a file. Hover the cursor over the preview and a Drive button will appear, clicking on it will save the file to Google Drive. Those who want to download the attachments on their computer can click the arrow button. This new attachment experience will be rolling out over next week to Gmail desktop users.

We’ve seen recent updates to Google Chrome that allow its users to know which YouTube-related tab is making sounds in the background through a small “Play” icon positioned in between the website’s icon and the words of the YouTube video. It seems as though Google isn’t stopping there as a new Chrome beta was released on Monday and it now allows you to pinpoint which tab is playing audio, regardless if it’s a YouTube video or not.
