Best Buy ASUS Eee Slate B121-A1 12.1-Inch Tablet ...

I had my tablet for about two months. That’s exactly what I needed and I am glad he is not planned in a product of Windows 8th I was pleased with the overhead lines for extra pen, paper and Bluetooth keyboard. The paper would be much better if they included a bag. The absence of an intended pocket, I, my portfolio and I (for Pinterest Yes!) As other options sheet for the device to update is missing a lot. Handwriting with the stylus is great. The screen is clear and clean and larger than most, but very dirty. I try to add a screen saver, but have not yet. Introduction of passwords with the stylus is more difficult, but it helps to click on the onscreen keyboard. Can I work on my Windows network server and remote. I could upload using Microsoft Office Enterprise and all its components without any problems. Insert Windows 7 movies that you cut, copy, etc.. The rotation is very simple, but it’s a little slow “compared to Apple products. The clip is limited to compatible software, but it works well for my use, but not so polite and sensitive than the products. like Apple I-Can my camera: I’m in forensics, I use my tablet in the medical environment in a meeting with patients, the notes of this rule is in portrait mode with the pen … I also do web searches, report writing (to get the keyboard for that), and a lot of reading. Can I have Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and every day. I interact with my server and download files on a regular basis. I can the device off to use cars, and the only hotel rooms.my complaint is the battery life. I come from an Asus Eee Netbook with 10.5 hours of battery life that, while the Council eeks to about 3.5 hours. This battery life with the slow is rotation and the ability to pinch, that why we have made 4-star facilities available, rather than 5.I ever tried an Apple iPad processor and ASUS. if you compare this unit with other tablets on the market is like apples Compare with oranges. This is a real program, fully capable of racing team. This is an organization without a phone can be charged with exaggerated many fun applications. Evan polished like the transformer, which was not conducive to what I needed for the work. if you are looking for games, web browsing and entertainment in general, the cheaper pills that go on Android or make an iPad. if you are looking for a pill that can really work and productive be, Asus is the right way.

Motorola to Xoom Buyers: Woot.com Sold You ...

Posted on by

Motorola discovered about 100 refurbished Xoom tablets had been sold by Woot.com that were improperly wiped of the previous owners' info, the company said in a statement Feb. 3. Motorola had done the refurbishing themselves, but they apparently didn't look very hard for the data because it's actually a really simple process. the devices in question were sold between October and December 2011, and Motorola claims they are certain no other devices were affected. People who bought one of the used tablets may have found photos, documents and user names and passwords from the previous owners.

To make up for the mistake, Motorola is offering a free two-year membership to Experian's ProtectMyID Alert to anyone who returned a Wi_FI Xoom between March and October 2011. It's an identity theft prevention program, and includes a $1 million insurance policy against said theft. it applies to anyone who bought and returned the Xoom to Staples, best Buy, Amazon.com, BJ's Wholesale, Sam's Club, Office Max, Radio Shack or eBay (plus a smattering of smaller retailers). If you fall into this category, Motorola asks you to call Experian at 1-800-926-9803 to get the deal.

As for the devices that were not wiped of their memory's, Motorola asks those folks to go to the motorola.com/xoomreturn Web site or to call Motorola at 1-800-734-5870, and pick option 1, to see if their tablet is affected.

Biggest Windows 8 news for week ending Dec. 23

Posted on by

The big news this week regarding Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8 software was that it features picture passwords, something that drew widespread attention but also some skepticism. Otherwise it was a week of rumors about what other features Microsoft’s next big software release might contain and devices that might be coming out specifically to support it.

Microsoft has revealed a number of details on the Building Windows 8 blog regarding a new feature coming to Windows 8 dubbed “Picture Password”. upon hearing the name of the feature, you may assume (incorrectly) that it’s some sort of integrated face recognition technique, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, the contents of the picture used for the login password are somewhat irrelevant. It’s actually touch gestures overlayed over the photo that are the foundation of Windows 8′s picture password feature.

QUIZ: 2011 Tech News Quiz 

A Microsoft product manager says: “At its core, your picture password is comprised of two complementary parts. There is a picture from your picture collection and a set of gestures that you draw upon it. Instead of having you pick from a canned set of Microsoft images, you provide the picture, because it increases both the security and the memorability of the password. You get to decide the content of the picture and the portions that are important to you. Plus, you get to see a picture that is important to you just like many people do on their phone lock screen.” 

Picture password is a toy

The major downside of the picture password is that drawing a finger across a photo on a touch screen is easy to video record from a distance – making it relatively easy to compromise, says Kenneth Weiss, who invented SecurID tokens and now runs a three-factor authentication business called Universal Secure Registry. Designers of alpha-numeric passwords recognize this danger and have responded to it by having password characters appear as dots on the screen so the password can’t be copied down.

“I think it’s cute,” he says. “I don’t think it’s serious security.” 

Windows 8 to drive touchscreen sales

According to unnamed sources, makers of LCD touchscreens are expecting a spike in sales toward the end of 2012 in part thanks to the expected release of Windows 8, which capitalizes on touchscreen navigation and commands, including the above-mentioned picture password. Screen makers ViewSonic and Asustek say they expect vendors will be eager to launch touch monitors next year, all according to Digitimes.
