Acer is surely gearing up pretty well for the holiday season. Just before people start planning for their holiday shopping, Acer has launched two new desktop PCs which are glossy enough to lure the gadget lovers.

To start with Acer has launched the Acer AZ3100 all in one desktop which can be considered a step below the Z5700 and henceforth a bit cheaper too. The other launch is the Aspire Reveo 3700 which has been tagged as a nettop instead of a desktop.

"The AspireRevo AR3700 is an excellent pick for consumers desiring an affordable device for enjoying digital media that won't take up much space and will integrate well with the home entertainment center," said Steve Smith, senior business manager of consumer desktops for Acer America. "When you consider the flexibility in mounting options, quiet operation and performance for the price, you'll be hard pressed to find a more practical secondary computer for the home."

The Z3100 comes with a 2GHz AMD Athlon II processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9200 graphics, 500 GB HDD, and 3 gigs of RAM. It will cost you only $599 which surely should be a steal at this configuration. The Aspire Revo 3700 has been tagged for $349 which again is an outstanding price for the reasonably configured device.

The Nokia C6 is available in Nokia Stores in India starting today .� We walked into a Nokia Priority store and were surprised to find the C6 on display.

The price the store quoted for the device was Rs.15200 which might be the MRP and we expect it to be under Rs.14000 in other channels/

Michael had posted a nice preview of the C6 .� Just to make things clear this was the C6-00 and not the C6-01.

Surely you remember the recent security breach on Twitter that exploited a security hole related to the JavaScript onMouseOver function. That attack caused some problems because it was used for redirecting users to adult websites simply by hovering a mouse over a certain link and calling the onMouseOver function that way.
This new attack wasn't as devastating as the previous one, but it has produced a certain amount of panic among the users, although there weren't many victims like in the previous one. This time, users would get affected simply by clicking the malicious link.

This malicious link was included in a tweet that consisted of "WTF" message and of malicious link. Interesting thing about this link is that is using your Twitter profile to spread itself by posting itself from your Twitter profile, so it's no wonder that this worm has spread on Twitter so quickly.

Luckily, Twitter responded quickly and this malicious link was disabled and the exploit was fixed. Twitter is safe once again, but we all have to ask ourselves, how long will it take until another security breach happens?

HP recently acquired Palm, which we all know is a popular smartphone manufacture. When HP bought Palm, they told us that they will bring WebOS powered tablets in future. May be the time is near when HP will launch the tablet, because HP's Todd Bradley said:

We've already announced the expansion of our future product portfolio well beyond smartphones. We'll have a webOS-powered PalmPad that will be set for release early in 2011.

HP recently filed for PalmPad trademark, which means that the story is true, and we will see it in early 2011. As I said before a lot of times that next year is going to be year of tablets, now you can add the PalmPad in your tablets wishlist. I am sure that PalmPad would be something good, because I have been using WebOS, and it's one of the most gorgeous OS in the market. So you can depend on HP, I hope they will make a good thing, which will compete with competitors like iPad, Galaxy Tab, and Playbook.
