Which Windows 7 Tablet? HP Slate or Asus EEE Slate

-
I am planning to buy a new tablet and I have seen HP Slate but lack of CPU power is a big problem for me. Therefore, I started to wait for the CES 2011 since 2011 will be the year of tablets right?

Here are links if you want to see the specifications by yourself;
For HP Slate: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13658_na/13658_na.html
For Asus EEE Slate: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Slate-EP121-1A011M-12-1-Inch-Tablet/dp/B004HKIIF8

Anyway as far as I see Asus EEE Slate seems the best solution for me, why?

- Costs $200 more from HP Slate but has very powerful CPU in which I can even write my code.
- It comes with a Bluetooth keyboard in the box.
- Has two USB ports.
- 12.1'' screen in which you can see many things with 1280x800 resolution.
- 32 GB of storage is enough for me although 64GB version is available for $100.

Here are the cons for me;

- Does not have a 3G or 4G sim card slot.
- It is heavier(~2.5pounds) than HP Slate(~1.5pounds)
- 3 hours of battery life is not very promising(it is 5hrs in HP Slate) but I can buy an extra battery.

As a result I am waiting for the end of CES whether there will be another great tablet(which includes 3G/4G) announcement if not Asus EEE Slate seems good for me now.

Space Character Problem on IE 6, 7, and 8

-
Most of the time, we need to put space in between two HTML elements to separate them. There are bunch of ways to achieve this but the following are the most common ones that I use: Space character ( ) CSS Margin (margin-right/margin-left) Space character is so natural separate them but CSS margin gives more flexibility. Also recently, I found out that in IE 6, 7, 8, extra space characters between HTML elements are not rendered as intended. For instance regular space character ( ) is rendered without the space on older version of IE (older than 9) a   b Result in IE 6, 7, 8: ab Whereas, if you use CSS (e.g. margin-right: 4px), all versions of IE renders it correctly a b Result in all IEs: a b
