This is the first study to look into these antibodies and their infection blocking functions.

It also showed that by enhancing these antibodies, it can help reduce HIV transmission via breastfeeding.  Currently around half of all 350,000 new infant HIV infections every year come from breast milk.

This wouldn’t be the first time patents were violated though.  Samsung currently can’t sell their tablets in Germany, some of their smartphones in countries part of the European Union, and must delay the release of their tablet in Australia, due to a filing of litigation by Apple.

Currently, Apple is believed to announce the release of the iPhone 5 in the next few weeks, with the phone being available for purchase in mid-October.

A rumored fall iPad release is now being revealed as simply rumors.

The iPad 3 will most likely be released in 2012, said J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz.

Moskowitz believes that Apple shouldn’t rush to release their product as other tablets have failed so far.

And with the iPad 2 only having been released in March and it already holding 68.3 percent of the tablet market, Moskowitz’s beliefe may hold true.
