256th New Thing - Downloaded Ice Cream Sandwich


Android
Today, since I since I have a Droid Razr by Motorola and an Android operating system, I received info that the new Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) was available to download. The upgrade for Droid Razr and Droid Razr Maxx was announce on June 22 2012. Ice Cream Sandwich features upgraded functionality and new features, such as Face Unlock. By looking directly at the screen, the smartphone recognizes its owner and automatically unlocks the device. It also includes Direct Access Lock Screen, which allows you to easily open camera, text messages, and dialer from the lock screen. It claims to have easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and deep interactivity, amongst other things. The upgrade also enhances the voice input technology, typing your words as you speak emails or texts. Speak continuously for paragraphs at a time, add punctuation and even edit mistakes with voice input.
Unfortunately, I downloaded the upgrade at work and didn't have much time to play with it yet for the full report. I can tell the system is faster and slicker though. 

What did you do today?

When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u
