Acer Iconia Tab A500

     I can leave talking about Tabs/Slates alone, they are just to interesting.  I was surfing around cnet.com and came across the Acer Iconia Tab A500.  I'm not a big fan of Acer because it is not a well known product to me but this new slate seems rather impress.  Like all the new Slates that are coming out (besides the Ipad 2), it is running the new Android 3.0 Honeycomb.  It also has the NIVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor and using a low powered NVIDIA GeForce GPU for your gaming experience.  You already know that it comes with HDMI ports and supports Flash 10.1.  It is just as great as the Xoom but there is one great thing about the Iconia that it has over most of the competition, the price.  Cnet is pricing it around $450; that is easier on the pocket if you want a good Slate without paying great Slate prices.  I believe with this new Slate on the market, Acer could make me fork over some money to buy into their unfamiliar bran.

Remote Access Using Ipad

     This is pretty interesting.  I have come across a few apps to use remote access to connect to your desktop or laptop with your Ipad without having to take you laptop with you.  The first one is jump desktop which looks like it works pretty good.  The next one is desktop connect that moves a little smoother than jump desktop.  The last one I checked out would be remote desktop lite straight from Apple.  The best about this app is that it can also be use with the Iphone as well.  All of these apps aren't just view a file here and there, this is full access, ability to see your desktop from anywhere with an Internet connection type deal.  Now from you Ipad, you can use flash to play games and watch Hulu without the price tag.

Nanoparticles could be used to combat fatal bacteria

     Reading news from cnet.com and there is an article about Nano-particles that can be used to MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).  What the Nano-particles would do is rip open cell wall and membranes of bacteria using electrostatic interaction which the north pole from the Nano-particles meets the south pole of the bacterium and goes after the microbe's charge.  A fluid system will disrupt the membrane and tear it open.  The strange thing about this is that IBM research is behind the with the help of its Singapore partners.  Other application are being thought of as well being used in deodorants, mouthwash, bandages, and catheters.
