Easy Network Infrastructure Creation
PANDUIT and Cisco Systems are introducing the PACT Wireless Connection Solution. This solution bundles PANDUIT network infrastructure products with Cisco Systems wireless products to ease deployment of a secure, robust wireless network. The PACT Wireless Connection Solution is optimized for use with Cisco’s Aironet 1000, 1130, 1200 and 1300 Series Access Points, Bridges, Controllers, Antennas and Accessories.
PANDUIT network infrastructure products include PANZONE Wireless Access Point Enclosures which reduce installation time and complexity. PANZONE Wireless Access Point Enclosures provide security and protection to valuable network elements in a dedicated housing, minimizing the risk of theft or damage to the access points. DPoE Power Patch Panels allow the flexibility to install WAPs with a reduction in the number of cables required to deploy.
Bring New Levels of Control to Adobe CS2
Logitech and Adobe Systems have enabled creative professionals and design enthusiasts with new levels of control when using Mac versions of Adobe Creative Suite 2 (CS2) and stand-alone CS2 applications: the NuLOOQ Professional Series. The new Logitech product line comprises the NuLOOQ navigator and the NuLOOQ tooldial. The NuLOOQ Professional Series has a suggested price of $149.99. The NuLOOQ tooldial can be purchased separately online for $49.99 at www.logitech.com/nulooq.
NuLOOQ Navigator: Complete Creative Control — The NuLOOQ navigator is a companion to the creative designer’s existing toolset — a mouse and a tablet or keyboard. Approximately the size and shape of half a tennis ball, this stationary device sits under the non-mousing hand and has a circular touch-sensitive surface (the tooltuner dial) for adjusting option values in supported applications. A movable rubber-like ring (the navring controller) at the base allows designers to easily navigate images and documents, while embedded buttons (triggerpoint buttons) call up frequently used tools.
NuLOOQ Tooldial: Complete Interface Control — Included with the NuLOOQ navigator or available for purchase separately, the NuLOOQ tooldial software centralizes frequently used tools, commands and files within an intuitive, on-demand circular menu that is divided into eight wedges. Each of these wedges can have up to eight associated wedges appear when the cursor lingers over the original wedge for a total of 72 available tools, commands and files per tooldial. When launched using a keystroke, mouse click or one of the NuLOOQ navigator triggerpoint buttons, the tooldial wheel appears centered under the cursor and disappears when the activity is completed, giving creative designers full control over their interface while keeping their virtual desktop clutter-free.
Google Goes Financial
Google has launched the Google Finance Beta (http://finance.google.com), a new way for users to search for and find financial information about public and private companies, as well as mutual funds. Google’s goal with Google Finance is to enhance the user experience when searching for financial information and to make this information useful and digestible for all types of users. Google Finance also strives to offer users a new way to understand stock performance. While a lot of sites can tell users a stock moved, Google Finance offers context as to why by incorporating relevant news and blog postings.
Google Finance was designed to provide information about US and international exchanges, companies and funds. Although the product is currently mostly focused on the North American market, there is some international content on markets in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Paris and Toronto. Google has made a commitment to add more international content as quickly as possible.
