webOS 3.0 beta now available to developers

hp touchpad webos 3.0
With the webOS 3.0 SDK available for almost two months, HP has now given developers access to a beta download of webOS 3.0 -- which powers the upcoming TouchPad and will likely ride along on HP desktops and laptops in the form of an emulator.

Right now, the webOS 3.0 beta is only available to Early Access developers. The crew at PreCentral states that HP appears to have eased up on access restrictions, however, so hopefully more devs will get on board and those of you who are planning to buy a TouchPad in the next couple months will have plenty of slick webOS 3.0 apps to install on your new tablet.

Sprint unleashes the HTC EVO Design 4G, available October 23rd for $100

That HTC EVO Design 4G leaked a couple months ago? Oh, it's real -- and Sprint's finally ready to share its story with the world. The tale of the EVO Design 4G is simple enough: for a penny under $100, you can have a WiMAX-capable device with GSM roaming that features a 4-inch qHD (960 x 540) display, 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 CPU, Android 2.3 with HTC Sense UI, Mobile Hotspot, a 5MP rear camera with HD video recording (720p, we presume) and a 1.3MP front-facing cam. In summary, the Design 4G is basically the Hero S with WiMAX and global roaming capabilities. Look for this device to show up online and in stores on October 23rd, and look after the break for the press release.

Justin Bieber Caught 'Christmas Spirit' In 'Mistletoe' Video

'Mistletoe' video premieres tomorrow at 7:54 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, with in-depth live stream to follow on MTV.com.

SANTIAGO, ChileJustin Bieber faced plenty of challenges when he shot his "Mistletoe" video, the least of which was the fact that he did it in September, in Tennessee, with fake snow cascading down from the sky. The way he tells it, the biggest obstacle was not even being weirded out by Santa.

"It was different because, like, it's a Christmas video, so you gotta get your Christmas spirit on," Bieber told MTV News backstage in Santiago, Chile, where he played to 55,000 screaming fans on Saturday. "We had Santa there. He was kind of interesting because he had this finger that would light up, but I never knew that, so he would come up to me randomly and pointed at me and his finger lit up and it was really strange. I was like, 'Santa doesn't do that, my friend.' "

Of course, Bieber was quick to add that despite the awkward interaction, he remains decidedly pro-Santa, since "he gets kids in the holiday spirit."

Bieber's "Mistletoe" video will make its world premiere Tuesday at 7:54 p.m. on MTV — with a special live stream to follow on MTV.com, where we'll roll out more of our interview with him! — and on Monday (October 17), he released the song to iTunes. He's rather proud of how both turned out, because he got to collaborate with two of his favorites: director Roman White and the production team known as the Messengers.

"[Roman] can tell a story really well, so we wanted to use him," Bieber explained. "He shot the 'One Less Lonely Girl' video, and I thought he did a great job; he shot the 'You Belong [With] Me' video with Taylor Swift, and he had a lot of great experience and a lot of great work.

"[And] Nasri [one member of the Messengers team], he's really intelligent, he can tell a story as well, Christmas, anything," he continued. "So we were thinking of doing a Christmas album last year, we never really got to it. And this year I was like, 'This year I really want to do it,' so we collaborated on some ideas and sure enough, we got some great Christmas music. ... I think I have a few classics on the album, I really, really do. I think that there's some songs on there that are so catchy and everyone's going to want to sing them every Christmas."

Catch the premiere of Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe" video Tuesday, October 18, at 7:54 p.m. on MTV, with a full interview to follow on MTV.com.

Burrito Bison is a simple game for gummy bear lovers

burritobison
Burrito Bison is a pretty simple game, but if you're into gummy bears you might find it addictive.

As you may have guessed from the name, you're a bison (not a burrito, though). In the course of your day-to-day grocery shopping, you're abducted into a bag of gummy bears, and must now fend for yourself.

At the beginning of each round you launch yourself onto the marching gummy (gummi?) bears, while you're being watched by a huge crowd of even more gummy bears. Your goal is to keep bouncing on the bears and earn more and more money while you do it. Every time you hit a gummy bear, you lose some momentum. If you hit the floor, you basically lose all of it.

But don't give up just yet! You have an emergency thrust which you can use to gain some momentum and keep bouncing on those bears. This extra thrust gets refilled as you hit more bears.

There are also special gummy bears that give you extra thrust or extra money. The money comes in handy at the end of each round, when you can shop for cool stuff to make your bison even more effective against those gummy bears.

It's a fun and colorful game that kept my interest for quite some time, and almost sent me running to the closest store to get some gummy bears!

Add a Windows 8 user tile to your Windows 7 taskbar

Now that Windows 8 images have begun leaking out, it's only a matter of time until developers start releasing mods for Windows 7 which mimic upcoming features. Over at Into Windows, they've spotted one such mod already.

In the earliest Windows 8 images, we saw Windows Live integration on the taskbar. In the far right corner, there's a user tile displayed. If you'd like to do the same on Windows 7, download Taskbar User Tile from DeviantArt user AngelWZR.

Once installed, your current picture will appear on the taskbar. Click it, and a menu appears which allows you to log off, switch users, and access the control panel. Right now, the mod only works if your taskbar is displayed on the bottom of your Windows desktop.

Kate Gosselin's Falltime Family Photo Shoot

Making for quite the sight to be seen, Kate Gosselin took out her brood of eight for a falltime family photo shoot in Reading, Pennsylvania over the weekend (October 16).

The Gosselin gang made their way outdoors with Kate setting up a makeshift pumpkin patch with all the trimmings before gathering the young'ens together so the cameraman could snap up shots.

Tweeting during the course of her family photo shoot session, Miss Gosselin wrote, "Hi guys! Oh oh oh what a day!!! Just stopped moving on full force THIS minute- been up since 7 am! I'd love2chat but another busy 1 tom!"

She added, "...& CANNOT wait2 show u our fall family pictures! I think they are going2b amazing! 8 georgous kids who were happy &smiley-can't go wrong!"

Meanwhile, Gosselin also continues to keep up her website's Q&A section - as she just posted answers to another batch of fan questions.

Asked to name the one place in which she would love to visit as one of the queries, the 36-year-old replied, "There are many many many places I?d love to visit! The main ones that come to mind though are: South Africa, Holland, any tropical heavenly island on earth :), London and Paris. I?ve never been to Europe and I need to see the world before I die?."

AVG launches LiveKive cloud sync and backup tool

avg livekive dropbox
A while back, we told you about AVG's new LiveKive service, a new cloud synchronization and backup tool which appears to have been named after a vat in which mash is made during the brewing process. But enough about AVG's odd choice of monikers -- LiveKive has launched and is now ready to accept your files into the AVG cloud.

LiveKive takes aim at services like Dropbox and SugarSync, though at the moment it's lagging behind in terms of features. As it stands, LiveKive is only compatible with Windows and OS X. There are no mobile clients yet, though with AVG's strong presence on Android we wouldn't be surprised to see an app arrive in the near future.

The company is offering a heck of a deal right now, however. If you sign up for a paid account during the launch phase, you can score unlimited storage for $80 for a whole year. You can't even score 50GB per year at that price from Dropbox, so if cost and space are more important to you than cross-platform availability, LiveKive might be worth checking out.

If you're not interested in ponying up any cash at the moment, you can still get a 5GB account free of charge. Just head on over, and create a LiveKive account.

Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj And Ke$ha 'Till The World Ends' Remix Leaks

Britney Spears isn't the only pop titan dancing until the world ends: Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha have joined forces to add a new spin on an all-female remix of Femme Fatale's second single, "Till the World Ends."

The reworked dance anthem, which leaked online Friday (April 22), appears to have surfaced earlier than expected as noted by a series of countdowns on all three of the stars' websites.

Mixing the dance tune's original sonic swirls with heavier bass, Britney tourmate Minaj starts off the remix by throwing down an aggressive verse, in which she calls out a female hater: "A-A-A-A-A-AYE!/ Chimpanzees is hatin', but I take it all in stride/ Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side/ Told you they'd revive your career, but somebody lied/ I ain't talkin' poultry when I say this chicken's fried."

After Minaj spits a few introductory bars, Spears delivers the song's first verse before an introduction for the all-star trio. "It's Britney, bitch. I'm Nicki Minaj and that's Ke$ha!" the Young Money MC proclaims.

Ke$ha, who originally wrote the track for the pop princess, takes part in singing the club-ready track's chorus. Spears soon takes back control of the song as Ke$ha shadows the singer's lines toward the end of the second verse and bridge. Unlike the original version, the "Till the World Ends" remix also features a stuttering dubstep dance break.

News of a star-studded collaboration was hinted earlier this week when producer Dr. Luke tweeted, "@NICKIMINAJ killed it tonight!!!! thanks!!!"
