Samsung unveiled the Gear S3 a few months ago at IFA, but soon it'll be ready for the masses. The company's latest Tizen smartwatch will be available on store shelves starting November 18th, and if you're feeling impatient, you can snag it on pre-order this upcoming November 6th (AT&T customers can pre-order starting on November 4th instead). The watch comes in two flavors, a Classic and a Frontier, with the latter being the more rugged of the two. The Frontier is also the only one that has optional LTE, which could prove useful for sending a mobile SOS when you're stuck on a lonely path in the woods.
Otherwise though, they're both pretty similar. Both sport a stainless steel chassis that are IP68 rated for water resistance and 1.3-screens coated in scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass SR+. They also have the same dual-core Exynos chipsets, 786MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, GPS and 380mAh batteries that apparently last about 3-4 days between charges.
What's especially of note here is that the Gear S3 will have Samsung Pay built right in, which makes it the first wearable to support the MST tech that should allow you to pay for goods wherever credit cards are accepted. You can also use it to stream Spotify over LTE or WiFi and control your Nest thermostat. It's unclear yet on what the pricing will look like on each of the different carriers, but the cheapest option is said to be $350.

So you try to middle click on a link on a page and miss the link… then the round “Auto Scroll” icon shows up and suddenly the page is moving around and scrolling all by itself. It drives me crazy, so when it was mentioned in the latest Coding Horror article I figured I would write it up in case
Last week I wrote about the hassles I experienced with installing Internet Explorer 8 on my XP machine at work. Overall I have not had too many problems with it … mainly because my default browser is Firefox! However I did run into an annoyance with this beta I would like to point out.
I am starting off a series of articles today to show you how to get the extra functionality of Windows Vista Ultimate without spending the outrageous cost of $399. In fact we are not going to spend one cent more in currency, the only thing we will have to spend is some time. Hopefully through this

Are you sick and tired of Windows trying to save you from yourself by asking you far too many times “Are You Sure You Want To Do That?” I think this is one of the more prominent annoyances of any Windows operating system. Thankfully, there is a small utility out there which allows the dialog boxes
One of the reasons that I love Firefox is the dozens of extensions that I have installed to customize the browser, but it seems like every extension includes another icon or widget, and by this point the status bar looks like an instrument panel… so how can I make them hide until I need them?
