By default you get the current time, but you can click a button to show the current HEX value of the ...

HP -- who recently acquired Palm -- hasn't been shy about stating how much they like webOS. They've also said their developers are working away at creating new apps for the under-appreciated mobile OS. And now, they've taken the wraps off their very first submission to the App Catalog. Brace yourselves...It's WORLD TIME for webOS! Okay, in all seriousness the app looks good and functions ...

Techy types like the typical Download Squad reader are just fine with manually tweaking our systems and using utilities that less savvy folks would cringe at. For them, it's not always such an easy task to find an easy-to-use program which actually does what it promises. One newly launched app which is perfect for neophytes is Soluto. Just launched at TC Disrupt, Soluto calls itself ...

I only just covered this bad boy in last week's Firefox Friday -- and now there's a Chrome version! RescueTime advertises itself as a 'Productivity Meter' but really it's just a cool way of seeing how you spend your time on the Internet. All you have to do is install the extension and it'll do the rest. At any time you can click the menu button to see a quick breakdown of how distracted you ...

I was recently playing around with Windows Gadgets, trying to find a decent clock gadget for multiple timezones. Selection was pretty grim, and I ended up settling for an okay-looking gadget, just because I was sick and tired of searching. Then, I was reminded of TimeLeft; it's a true classic. It's one of those modest utilities that has been around pretty much forever (check out the Windows XP ...

HumanClock.com is a fun little site, letting you view the current time in photo form. The time in the screenshot above is 2:10 (there's a 24-hour option as well). Sometimes figuring what time the image shows is a bit of a riddle, but that's part of the fun for me. The site isn't new -- it's been around since 2001. Since it has been around for so long, quite a few images have accumulated for ...

In case you aren't familiar with it, the Pomodoro Technique is a time management system. The original book by Francesco Cirillo has been extremely popular since its publication in the early 1990s and it's now available as a free PDF download [Google Viewer link]. The technique is simple and involves setting up 25-minute intervals for a given task and taking a short break at the end (five ...

Time Fcuk might have been better named if the word "time" in its title was swapped for the word "mind". In the game you play the part of a cute little robot-like creature, who is contacted by yourself from 20 minutes in the future. You are told to get into a box, and from there you enter a world of strange puzzle rooms, where there is always a secondary dimension to the room. You can toggle ...

I'm a procrastinator. If something needs to be done by 2:00 PM, I'll often finish it at 1:59. My procrastinating tendencies sometimes make me late though. Like many people I've tried the old "set your clock ahead 15 minutes" trick, but it doesn't work -- I just find myself mentally calculating every time I look at one of my clocks. This week Component X released an interesting little Mac utility ...

Between the sundial, the dawn of digital watches and now cell phones taking a big dent out of the watch business, I'm not sure why you would need a clock in a browser, let alone one requiring an internet connection. Perhaps you sleep with your netbook by your bedside, complete with relaxing pzizz or other ambient noises. Or maybe you have an Ozymandias-style lair complete with dozens of monitors. ...

Check this out y'all: A NYT article says that Americans waste $650 BILLION dollars over-checking their email obsessively. BILLION. Not Millions. Not Thousands. BILLIONS. Crazier? We waste $650 BILLION dollars trying to get back into the groove of work after checking our email obsessively. Why do we do it? Are we that afraid of missing something? Some of us here can say that we too check our email ...

Time is money. And every time you have to sit down with your boss, coworkers, and some random consultant thinking what a big waste of time this meeting is, you could also argue that it's a waste of money. Meeting Miser helps you figure out just how much money. The little web app works by pulling in average salaries for various job types and determining what their time is worth. So next time you ...

After a brief absence, it looks like Google has reinstated the time operator in its search engine. In other words, you can search for "time kingston," or "time in kingston" and find out what time it is in Kingston, Jamaica. Previously, you'd get a little clock and the time for the location you were most likely search for. But as you can see from the screenshot, Google's spruced up its offering a ...

So you use basecamp for project management or Google's apps, or something else, but how do you track your time on a project? basecamp offers time-tracking, but you have to pay a bit for that feature. Any cheapskates out there who like to get something for nothing, even if it means remembering yet another logon to yet another website? Many of us would jump at the chance, it isn't like any of us ...
