Ever since its official launch, NVIDIA's ION platform has created quite a stir in the computer industry, leading to all sorts of interesting debates on the Internet, as well as quite a lot of bad blood between NVIDIA and Intel. And now, confirming some rumors and pieces of news that have been around for quite a long time (ever since CeBIT, to be precise, when we first heard a little something on the subject), Acer decided to be the first to roll out an ION-based product. And it wasn't the Hornet system everyone had been waiting for, but the AspireRevo nettop, a device whose form factor and features look very similar to the first ION prototypes we saw live.

"The goal of the Apache Abdera project is to build a functionally-complete, high-performance implementation of the IETF Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (in-progress) specifications."
At GitHub, we’re building the text editor we’ve always wanted: hackable to the core, but approachable on the first day without ever touching a config file. We can’t wait to see what you build with it.
"Journals exposes a very complete API for creating and managing blogs, entries, and comments. I'm working on getting the API documentation up on dev.aol.com sometime soon. But it's very easy to get started with basic blog posts."
"This page takes any Atom feed and converts it to the RSS 2.0 format. Blogspot users should find this useful since Blogger does not provide free support for RSS. Your best option, however, is to find a newsreader that supports Atom."
Joe Gregorio: "The current revision of the AtomAPI is contains quite a few changes from previous revisions. All of those changes have been talked about seperately, but when put together represent a fairly large change to the API. Here is Quick Reference
AtomicWiki is entirely based on the Atom Publishing Protocol and syndication format. All entries are stored as Atom feeds. The Atom Publishing Protocol is used to create and manipulate feeds and entries. The entire system is implemented in XQuery and XSLT with the help of some Javascript for the AJAX goodies (like in-page comment editing). What makes the software really powerful is its tight integration with XQuery and XML databases. Macros and extensions to the wiki syntax are implemented as XQuery functions. XQuery code can also be directly embedded into an Atom entry to generate dynamic content. The eXist weblog is powered by AtomicWiki.
"the idea here is to associate both protocols so that they ... expand the audience of your network. It'd be easy to consider allowing people commenting to a blog entry using their XMPP client."
