Acer Iconia Tab A700


Following the success of the New Apple iPad?($499, 4.5 stars) with its 2,048-by-1,536-pixel Retina display, Android tablet?manufacturers are getting the picture?the high-definition picture, that is?and packing in the pixels. Much like Asus, with its Transformer Pad Infinity TF700?($499, 4 stars), Acer's Iconia Tab A700 ($449.99 list, 32GB) is nearly identical to the existing Iconia Tab A510?($449.99, 3 stars), but adds a high-resolution 1,920-by-1,200-pixel display. The A510 couldn't keep up with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201?($499, 4 stars), and the A700 falls short of the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700. And both tablets are playing catch-up with the new iPad and its vast selection of tablet-centric and Retina-display-optimized apps.

Design and Features
The Iconia Tab A700 is physically identical to the lower-resolution Iconia Tab A510, from its dimensions (6.9 by 10.2 by .4 inches, 1.47 pounds) to its button and port placement. While that was fine for the thin (0.33 inches) and light (1.31 pounds) aluminum-clad Infinity Pad TF700, which was nearly identical to the Transformer Prime TF201, the Iconia Tab A700 remains as clunky and uninspiring as its plastic predecessor, the A510. At least the rubberized back is comfortable to hold.?


One welcome holdover is the micro USB to full-sized USB adapter and USB host mode capability. The tablet supports FAT32-format external storage devices, as well as USB keyboards and mice. This is pretty useful, and I was able to use a USB splitter to connect both a mouse and keyboard to the A700. Asus's keyboard dock accessories for its Transformer tablets add the same capabilities, and they emulate a laptop form factor while adding extra battery life, but they are also more expensive than using the peripherals you already own. Flanking the micro USB port are two speaker grilles that get moderately loud, but lack low-end oomph.

A Wi-Fi only tablet that connects to 802.11b/g/n networks, the A700 works on the 2.4GHz frequency band only. You also get Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and GPS, both of which worked fine in my tests. The A700 is available in black or silver, but only in a single 32GB configuration. A microSD card slot, hidden behind a plastic flap on the right panel, accepts cards up to 64GB. On the left side is a 3.5mm headphone jack, with a microHDMI port on the right for output to HDTVs.

Display, Apps, and Android
The high-resolution display is the main draw here, and it's looking like 1,920-by-1,200 is the new standard for 10-inch Android tablets. The A700's 10.1-inch display matches the Infinity TF700 in terms of sharpness, but the Asus wins out with its ultra-bright Super IPS+ display. Viewing angle and color saturation are similar on the two displays. At 224 pixels per inch, they both look incredibly sharp and clear. Text and high-res images look fairly comparable between the A700, TF700, and the new iPad, which packs 264 pixels per inch. During testing, I noticed that applying mild pressure to the A700's screen caused some unusual rippling under the glass surface. It didn't affect responsiveness and was very difficult to see with the screen on, but it's worth noting.?

The real difference is in the apps and even a lot of websites, where the iPad's dominance means developers are actually paying attention and optimizing specifically for that display. For example, article text in The New York Times looks comparable on the A700 and the new iPad, but some site graphics look sharper on the iPad's screen than they do on either of the two Android tablets'. The difference isn't in the hardware, it's that developers are writing their websites to detect the iPad and push higher resolution elements its way. That hasn't yet happened for Android.

That same problem carries over to apps, where Android dominance still belongs to the smartphone market. Apps are written for smaller screens and, generally, look pretty bad on 10-inch screens, with a lot of wasted space and/or stretched-out elements. Text almost always looks better on the A700 than the A510, but don't expect graphics to suddenly look much clearer. Android app developers have yet to take advantage of the high screen resolution. The App Store over at Apple offers more than 200,000 apps written specifically for the iPad, many of which are written with the Retina display in mind. The Google Play store, on the other hand, has a small section for recommended tablet apps, and even some of those are made for smartphone screens. There are also alternative app portals, like the Tablified Market?($1.49, 4 stars) or Nvidia's Tegra Zone, that offer well curated, but relatively sparse, selections of tablet apps.

The A700 runs Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with Acer's Ring UI, which is a generally light skin, but further from stock Android than you'll find on Asus tablets. A virtual button at the bottom of the screen brings up the Acer Ring, which presents you with five customizable quick app shortcuts, Web bookmarks, and volume controls. The lock screen also features a ring of four customizable quick app shortcuts. You'll also find Acer Print, which lets you connect to Wi-Fi enabled printers, and the clear.fi DLNA media server for wirelessly pushing media to capable devices like HDTVs. Rounding out some of the more useful apps are Aupeo, an Internet radio app, McAfee Antivirus, and Polaris Office for Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Acer also tweaked the Android browser, adding the ability to display URLs as QR codes for sharing?though I don't know anyone who uses QR codes. One feature missing from the A700's browser, which can be found in the Asus tablets, is the ability to always request desktop sites. You can still check the 'Request Desktop Site' box in the browser's settings, but having to do that every time is pesky.

Snoop Busted in Norway!

Snoop Dogg was caught by custom’s authorities in Norway this week with a substance that has become almost synonymous with his name. According to officials, Calvin Broadus was caught with about 8oz of marijuana on his way into the country. Rumor has it that they figured out he was smoking because he had trouble pronouncing the airport they were in — Kristiansand Airport in Kjevik — only kidding! The interesting this is that is sounds like pot is decriminalized over there because he was only asked to fork over about $2K to settle the entire deal. He was soon on his way and was expected to be on time to his 10:30PM show. Another little problem he faced was that he had more cash than you are allowed to carry without reporting it to customs. I guess that problem most likely took care of itself after he handed over the fine for the pot…just a theory. The legendary rapper is in the country to perform at a festival called the Hove Festival. Reports state that he made it just fine. You may remember that January he was busted by authorities in Texas who apparently found several joints he had been [...]

Fri, 06/29/2012 - 5:00pm - Sun, 07/01/2012 - 3:00pm

Check out this amazing event which takes a deeper look into our relationships with each other and relates them to our relationship with this planet and the resources that nurture us, just like our relationships with each other do. Is there some overlying climate of normalized abuse or entitlement that is inhibiting the many facets of our intimate nature with each other? Also, what is an Eco Sexual? These questions and more! Will be explored this weekend!?

I told my friend from Ohio about this event his appropriate response was "Only in Portland..."

http://www.ecosex.org/symposium-schedule.html

Would you like to live in a world where:
? Sex is viewed as natural, healthy, and good for you?
? We live closer to nature & are in tune with the Earth & her cycles?

B.o.B, Taylor Swift Salute Everyman In 'Both Of Us' Video

Pair examine everyday life in Nashville in new Jake Nava-directed video.
By Jocelyn Vena


B.o.B in his video for "Both of Us"
Photo:

If you've ever wondered what would happen if B.o.B and Taylor Swift hung out together in Nashville and hired video director Jake Nava to film it, well, wonder no more.

The twosome are committing their song collaboration to celluloid in the just-released clip for the rapper's track "Both of Us," which features the country-pop superstar on the hook.

But if you thought the video would pay homage to the glittering honky-tonks of Nashville, think again. This video instead sheds light on the grittier sides of the country music capital, following the lyrics of the track, which center on adversity and strife. Bobby Ray and Taylor are rarely seen in the same shot, as southern Americana is the twosome's most prominent co-star.

The clip opens with B.o.B hanging out in his modest home, while Swift is chilling out in the most un-Taylor Swift spot in music video history, a pool hall. There are shots of tatted locals, cowboy-boot-wearing young women, shirtless youths playing in sprinklers, teens kissing, a mobile home, and a dog that leaves Taylor awestruck with his high-flying antics.

The video isn't glamorous, but it leaves viewers appreciating the little things in life. It's not about money, it's about understanding that sometimes a romp through a sprinkler or a good game of billiards is enough to take you away from the mundane moments of everyday life.

As the video closes out, viewers are left with a sort of fantasy, with B.o.B and Swift re-imagined as the everyman and everywoman living simple lives in rural Tennessee, much like the folks in the video.

It's like B.o.B says in the song: "Hey, but if it's all for one and one for all/ Then maybe one day we all could ball/ Do it one time for the underdogs/ From Bobby Ray to all of y'all." Swift shares in the sentiment when she answers on the chorus, "I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us/ Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us."

The track is off B.o.B's album Strange Clouds. Swift and the MC shot the clip in Music City, USA in mid-June, weeks prior to the official release.

AAA Predicts Increase in Travel for ... - Auto Rental News

According to AAA, there will be a 4.9% increase in holiday travel compared to last year with 42.3 million Americans planning to travel 50 miles or more during the Independence Day holiday weekend.

With the Fourth of July falling on a Wednesday, the traditional five-day travel period for the holiday is expanded to six days. Travelers this year have the option to include two weekdays and a weekend as part of their vacation. In fact, 54% of travelers intend to begin their trip between June 29 and July 1.

Gas prices are 16 cents lower than they were last year driving 35.5 million people to travel by car, a 4% increase from 2011. Car rental rates decreased from last year to an average $40 per day, as well.

According to AAA?s Leisure Travel Index, airfares have remained the same for the 3.2 million travelers flying to their destination this year. Hotel rates increased from a year ago with travelers spending an average of $164 per night compared to $157 last year.

?AAA?s projection for a decade high number of Independence Day travelers is being fed by Americans? appetite for travel, a mid-week holiday and lower gas prices,? said AAA Travel Services VP Bill Sutherland. ?This is the second holiday this year where travelers indicated a determination to travel while economizing by actively seeking value-added travel options and activities.?

Breast Reconstruction Can Restore Self Esteem and Appearance ...

by admin on June 25, 2012

By A Aaronson

The challenges of life can certainly bring about extreme changes. Unfortunately there are some illnesses and diseases that cause many women to need mastectomy surgery. This can be a quite devastating event. A woman?s bust is a very important component of her overall appearance and self esteem. And when the effects of cancer or other problems arise, life altering procedures have to be undergone. Luckily there are breast reconstruction procedures available to women who would like to have their bodies restored and back to normal. Every woman deserves to feel confident in her own body. The results of surgery can be pleasant and satisfying with the right professionals.

Each year women suffer from cancer that causes for them to lose their breasts. This particular part of the body is a very important part of a woman?s body image. Without having them, many ladies feel like less than a woman. They may even feel unattractive and undesirable as well. But there is no longer any need for women to feel this way after necessary surgery that removes all or parts of their bust line. Breast reconstruction can be the perfect solution. Doctors who have been in practice for many years are skilled to do the job that will improve a woman?s appearance as well as her self esteem. This will improve her overall health and quality of life.

Those who survive cancer and its negative effects are very lucky and fortunate. But the difficult effects that it has on the body can last much longer than expected. There are different procedures available to women. They all basically involve the figure to be rebuilt using tissue from other areas of the body. The procedures that each woman has can depend on her size and also on the location of strong vessels. Top notch doctors explain the precise procedure to each patient and will work hard to ensure quality results. Besides, these doctors are not only rebuilding a body, but rebuilding happiness and self esteem as well. All it takes is an appointment to discuss which route is the best to take in this matter. The proper examination can begin the journey to a restored and beautiful body.

Patients who undergo breast reconstruction are given only the best treatment. Professionals are very understanding of the situation of wanting a restored body, particularly following a mastectomy. Doctors will be patient and listen carefully to the needs and desires of each woman. Patients can definitely trust their bodies to the doctors who will perform these tasks. They are the most caring towards the needs of all. With the best possible work done on these women, doctors will work hard so that recovery time will be short and the patient can be on her way to living a healthy and happy life once again. All women deserve to look and feel their best, and especially after undergoing the devastating affects that cancer might bring. These quality services are readily available and affordable so that everyone has a chance at proper restoration.

Bing maps gets another 165TB of satellite images, knocking on Google Earth's door louder than ever

Thought that Google had cornered the market on free, overhead-view photo mapping solutions? You clearly don't reside in Redmond, because Bing Maps' aerial image library just got another 165TB worth of hi-res data that covers an additional 38 million square kilometers of the globe.

Go ahead, check out all the new visuals at the source link below, we promise not to tell the folks in Mountain View.
