Monitors Needed

Monitors needed.  LG, Planar, HP, Dell, Viewsonic, V7, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Samsung, Sharp, et al, listen up.

must be 20" plus
must have HDMI, VGA, Displayport, DVI-D connections- and include the damn cables
must be multi-touch capable
must have wireless built in
must have some processing capabilities
if Windows 8 is too much to ask for, then at least Android. 
Must be no more than $150.00.  If they can build tablets for $75 then a 20+ inch monitor with the same capabilities is not much of a stretch.

Mapping the 2013 tablet wars

Portland Business Journal

Date: Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 7:22am PST

 

Price wars and patent battles were among the big trends in the tablet market in 2012, and this year it seemed that no matter what tablet a customer bought, they were in one of three ecosystems - Apple, Android or Windows 8.

Samsung Printers Have Hidden Security Risk

Some Samsung printers, and Dell-branded printers manufactured by Samsung, can be remotely accessed by attackers. Here's how.

By Mathew J. Schwartz InformationWeek
November 28, 2012 03:06 PM

Some Samsung printers and Dell-branded printers manufactured by Samsung are vulnerable to being taken over remotely by an attacker.That warning was made Monday by the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT), which said that the affected printers "contain a hardcoded SNMP full read-write community string that remains active even when SNMP is disabled in the printer management utility." In other words, the printers have a hardcoded account in their firmware that can't be disabled by users. SNMP, or simple network management protocol, is a TCP/IP-based network protocol used to manage and monitor network device configuration.

Cisco to buy Meraki for $1.2billion

Nice play Cisco!  HP or Dell should have made this move.


Cisco Systems said Sunday that it had agreed to buy Meraki for about $1.2 billion, as the networking titan continues to bolster its cloud computing services.
By buying Meraki, a privately held company backed by the likes of Google and Sequoia Partners, Cisco will add products that allow networks to be controlled through the Internet.
