Historious seems to fill the nice gap between searching through your web history and your browser's bookmarks. Sometimes, you visit a helpful how-to or help page that you'll need to return to later, but your bookmarks bar only has so much precious room—and it's usually reserved for quick access to those sites you visit on a daily basis. Searching your history can be a bit overwhelming, and even more refined search terms may come up with many results that are hard to filter through. Historious essentially creates a custom search engine for stuff that you've bookmarked for later.
Like most sites, you can easily bookmark a page with the Historious bookmarklet. One of the biggest perks to Historious, though, is that unlike other sites, it actually searches the content of your bookmarks, not just the titles and tags. Thus, even if you can't remember the headline of an article, you'll probably be able to find it with a few choice keywords. The signup is free, although there is a premium option ($3 a month) that provides a few extra features like filtering by date and searching through PDFs. Hit the link to check it out.

You're probably wondering how you'll get 2TB or so into a single CF slot of your D3S. Or even if you're not, you're probably wondering how you can strap a trio of CF cards together for a 6TB slab of flash storage. So far as we can tell, PhotoFast's the first with an adapter that enables devices with CompactFlash slots to accept those minty fresh SDXC cards, which would theoretically allow anything that understands CF to now recognize. The GM-7300 SDXC-to-CF adapter is expected to ship next month in Japan for ¥2,980 ($35), but there's no word yet on when it'll be headed up over the Bering Strait and down into the US of A.PhotoFast GM-7300 SDXC-to-CF adapter gives your pro DSLR another storage option originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:36:00 EDT.

Whether you're using your smartphone as a webcam for your PC, running FaceTime on your iPhone 4, or anticipating Skype's upcoming Android app for your Evo's front-facing camera, this little hack makes video chat a bit more versatile. Now, instead of being tied to your computer, you can pick up your phone and turn it around, move to a new room, or even carry on your conversation as you leave the house.
TUAW's mod merely consists of some cardboard, duct tape, and the top of a wire hanger. It certainly isn't the prettiest hack around, but they certainly did their homework on it. Each nook and cranny in it has a purpose, whether it's allowing tethered devices, charging yoru phone, or accomodating external speakers. With a bit of ingenuity you could probably fashion something that isn't so ugly, too—and if you're really clever, you could even find a way to do it without covering up a giant portion of your monitor. Hit the link to check it out, and let us know what ideas you might incorporate to a smarphone video chat mount in the comments.

We're not partial to unitaskers here at Lifehacker, and the slew of popular iPod speaker docks are no exception. While they're mighty convenient for your iDevice with a dock connector, they're less so for your other media players and smartphones, especially if they don't have an auxiliary jack. The Sprint Anycom FIPO Bluetooth Stereo Receiver, apart from having a ridiculously long name, is a $20 adapter that plugs into your iPod speakers and makes them wirelessly compatible with any bluetooth-enabled audio player.
That means your iPhone, 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch, Android phone, BlackBerry, and even Laptop can pair with it and play music into the speakers. Sure, the audio quality may not be audiophile-approved, but it's not like it's a $1000 stereo—it's an iPod speaker dock, and $20 for wireless, anything-compatibile music playing is hard to turn down. Hit the link to check it out.
Update: Just after we posted this, Amazon changed the status of the item to "currently unavailable". If you search around, though, you can probably find it available on other sites.

Converting WAV to MP3 or PNG to JPG is old hat for just about every web-based converter out there. Where Online-ConVert really shines is the inclusion of lesser used formats. The video converter, for example, even supports conversion to video formated for playback on the Nintendo DS—if you didn't know you could play video on your DS make sure to check out how to hack your DS for backups and supercharge it with homebrew software to see all the other cool things it can do.
In addition to supporting a huge range of format conversions Online-ConVert has a bunch of little features that make it a pleasure to use—despite it's initially clunky looking interface. Online-ConVert supports both file upload and URLs—we had no problem using YouTube URLs to create videos to dump onto our Nintendo DS, for example. Each conversion also generates a QR code that you can scan with your cell phone to download the file. Let's say you're at a computer and you don't have an appropriate sync cable or syncing software for your phone. You can convert the file and scan the QR code to initiate the download right to your phone.
Visit the link below to try out the converter or sound off in the comments with your favorite conversion tools.
IdiomDictionary is pretty simple to use; you just type a phrase in the search box and it will explain to you the idiom's meaning. It does have quite a few, including a large number that I had never even heard of before. You can browse by letter, if you'd like to just learn a bunch of new idioms you can rattle off, but the search is its most useful function.
Unfortunately, it doesn't go the other way—if you're looking for a clever way to say something, you can't look up an idiom for that idea. I can't search "relax", for example, and come up with "hang loose". You can only search for idioms themselves. It's kind of a bummer (that would be such a useful feature), but it's still incredibly handy for those situations when you hear a phrase you just aren't familiar with. Hit the link to check it out.
Update: Reader BishopBlaze cleverly points out that to do a reverse idiom search, you can just do a site-specific search on Google. For example, if you're looking for an idiom for "relax", just search site:idiomdictionary.com relax on Google to find a few.

The who's who among banks with remote check deposits comes through the very clever Paperless Office Wiki. Banks both local and national in scope are charted for their scanner, iPhone, and Android availability, given a rating, and listed with their eligibility and other requirements. You'll definitely want to check a bit of the fine print, as certain banks require a higher level of account sign-up to get the remote deposit offering, but it's a great place to start looking if you're stuck with regular trips to the bank, or find even quick-scanning ATM deposits kind of a drag.
Know of another bank with a great remote check deposit? Point it out in the comments, but don't be afraid to throw it in the Paperless Office Wiki, either.

It uses Fujifilm's Instax Color Film, which is about $16 for 20 photos' worth. A small screen (measuring 2.4" x 1.8") lets you view photos on the dinky camera, which it itself measures 4.4" x 3.8" x 1.9". The focus is 0.6mm to 3m, and it can take close-ups up to 11.8".
Two CR-2 batteries are needed to power the mini50S Cheki, which has a self-timer mode and flash.
It looks like it's just a Japan-only release for now, but JapanTrends has put up a $220 US price-tag for export, when it goes on sale September 4th. [JapanTrends]

Do clamp your eyes on the HD YouTube video fondle of the Desire HD below, and tell us what you think. While it doesn't give away too many details, at least we can gather it's got a bottom-located 3.5mm jack, and dual LED flash next to the stylized lens. HTC's famous rubberized back has returned, only in patches—around the flash and antenna, down the bottom (presumably for the battery-eject, as we saw in the Legend and HD Mini), and on the right-side (I'm guessing for the microSD card slot).
