Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!

If you have an over-zealous Twitter pal or want to avoid a blast of tweets for a little while, Twitter snooze is a nice friendly solution.

Basically, it’s an addition to Twitter ettiquette, so that you don’t have follow and unfollow with the social implications of being a bit of an inconsistent jerk;)

When you “snooze” a pal, Twitter will send him/her an email alerting that person that you are now following them again (not unlike when you follow/unfollow). Hopefully, this will get improved over time. What’s so amazing to me, though, is that we’re developing a polite culture around our online behaviors - who knew that tweeting would require such trappings.

Grab your Twitter Snooze here.

THIS is why I LOVE Nicole Lee.

MarioKart for the Wii by Nicole Lee from Flickr

A blurry picture of Mario Kart for the Wii tells me what I should have already known. Mario Kart was released THREE days ago. How I missed the news, I don’t know, but I’m heading to the video store right now to go pick it up.

Here’s a video to whet your appetite:

It’s already been confirmed that HTC is holding a press event on May 6 where they’re poised to announce some new handsets. Early speculation had HTC showing off Android-based devices (Dream) but according to EngadgetMobile, the new HTC Diamond will make its official debut. The latest rumors are that the Diamond will offer a large VGA touch screen, Windows Mobile 6.1, WiFi and a 3 megapixel camera. It’s also believed that HTC has made some significant improvements to the touch screen software that it introduced in the HTC Touch.

With all the third-party software out there for improving the iphone-like touch experience on your Windows Mobile, I’m sure HTC has something amazing under development.

This unlocked blackberry 9000 was spotted on eBay just before the auction mysteriously ended. The seller says the phone is unlocked and will “Not be released until August 2007″ — we’ll guess he / she is a little unclear as to what year it is. However, said seller promises that this particular unlocked phone is actually in stock now and ready to ship for the lucky winner. Listed features (according to this auction) include: 3G, Edge, WiFi, and Bluetooth, as we’ve seen elsewhere. There’s no telling how legit this is, and the seller clearly pulled the auction for some unknown reason, but there do seem to be at least a few of these floating around. Peep the pictures in the gallery below for some photographic evidence.

Not only that, with 7 USB 2.0 ports you can go nuts trying to fit in all sorts of USB toys and devices to your computer. Just make sure these aren’t high-powered ones though, as it might be a wee bit too taxing. The UFO Combo Card Reader + 7-Port Hub retails for $29.90.

var While greeted with heaps of initial skepticism, forum jockeys over at OQO Talk now seem convinced that a junior member by the name of TRF has successfully hacked the OQO to run OS X Leopard. Adding a video filmed by Mr. Blurry Cam didn’t hurt the cause. TRF’s OQO is setup in a dual-boot Vista / OS X mode which boots Leopard in about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. WiFi, sound, power management and Bluetooth… it’s all there with applications popping with serious snap. The only thing missing at the moment is WWAN access which TRF is now testing. While not yet a “plug and play” hack, it’s “definitely doable,” he says. Perhaps, but we’ll need more details to say the least. Video excerpt posted after the break.

Up until just a couple of years ago, my old Walkman cassette player was still working. It was only recently that it gave out after years of use. For all those feeling nostalgic of old-skool music formats, check this MP3 cassette player out.

This MP3 cassette player could be inserted with up to 2GB of SD memory cards filled with your MP3 tunes. Moreover, it’s also fitted with a 3.5mm jack for your headphones and even a USB 2.0 port so you can directly connect it to your computer. With the features just mentioned, plus its built-in lithium-ion battery, makes it a standalone mp3 player. However, if you’re thinking this is only shaped like a cassette, think again. This device is actually a real cassette tape which you can insert into and run in a cassette player. Good for those still with running cassette players, eh?
