As the hi-fi and gadget release cycle continues, keeping track of new tech can feel like a full time job. Luckily, there are people who do it for a living – and here’s their top picks from the month of October.
A gadget is a piece of hardware that adds functionality or makes something more convenient to use. It may be a small, relatively expensive device that enhances a particular function or is designed for easy integration into a broader system. The term has also been applied to computer programs that perform services, often using standard software development techniques. In the X11[8] window system, a gadget was a windowless widget that used only the Window id of its parent. This reduced memory load on a graphical user interface.
