Your Cellphone Screen Could Soon Fight Germs


Germaphobes, rejoice: the makers of Gorilla Glass, the super-strong screen atop smartphones, have incorporated an antimicrobial chemical into the new iteration of the product, Corning officials announced Monday.

"As touch technologies proliferate, consumers are becoming aware of how bacteria can exist on mobile devices, particularly as we increasingly share touch-enabled surfaces at home, work and elsewhere," a news release on the company's website said.

"To help address this growing concern, Corning has developed Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass."

An ionic silver compound used in the glass works to inhibit the growth of bacteria, including algae, fungi, mold, and mildew, reportedly is better than disinfectant wipes. Corning said it's the first such product registered by the Environmental Protection Agency, Business Insider reports.

"Antibacterial wipes, foams, sprays and films exist today, but they are temporary, and many device manufacturers advise against them," the news release says. "The chemicals infused within this cover will not degrade over time and work continuously to remove germs from your touch screen."

The product was unveiled at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...
