Edelman's HP Touchscreen Wall
(something I have been working on) It’s one-of-a-kind; a 10’x6’ Touchscreen Wall powered by HP latest 'touch' technology. It's located in Edelman New York's office lobby. Video of the wall in action to come.

I found this nice printer on a fleamarket about a year ago, and its really been an good tool to use. Always bring it when I go to my mother to print out photos me her grand grandchildren.

Starbucks & HP's partnership: What added value could it mean to us? A lesson in destroying corporate credibility.
Some business partnerships make no sense to the public eye. What does HP have to do with the ritual of morning coffee?
This morning I am greeted in my neighborhood cafe with a stack of brochures celebrating a new "Great Relationship" between Hewlett-Packard and Starbucks. Inside, it promises unspecified savings on HP products.
What is this to me? (a loyal Starbucks addict). I expect better value and more importantly, more meaning out of these business "collaborations". Otherwise, it reeks of yet another random sales pitch I don't need (like a telemarketing call while having my breakfast).
I could understand Starbucks' former AT&T relationship, as getting a coffee and checking morning email through AT&T's WiFi network makes perfect sense. I still could find meaning with their partnership with Apple, as downloading in my iPhone's iTunes app the same music I am listening in the store while I sip coffee is still part of a cohesive narrative. I was even supportive of Starbucks's collaboration with Good magazine, as the socially-conscious message from the later somewhat felt aligned to Starbucks' own projection of a friendly, responsible, engaged corporation.
But announcing discounts on printers and desktop computers?
I am sorry guys. This dilutes, rather than enhances your message. In this case, the result is lesser than the sum of its parts. You have failed to convey why this makes sense other than Starbucks getting a good deal on computer equipment back in Seattle headquarters and HP getting a captive audience for their advertising in return (At least, back in 2004 in a similar move, HP installed tablets in coffeehouses so visitors could sample and download music).

Next time: Do it quietly, or explain better why this would make sense to your own audiences at all. Carpet bombing with indiscriminate advertising is so low class (and ultimately bad for credibility).

Laptop reliability survey: ASUS and Toshiba win, HP fails
Boy, do we have a nice slab of data for you to sink your teeth into today. The 3-year service history of more than 30,000 laptops has been pored over, analyzed, and reduced to gorgeous comparative charts, which you know you're dying to know more about. We should note, however, that the service was provided by SquareTrade, whose primary business is selling extended warranties, but that shouldn't completely prejudice us against reaching conclusions on the basis of the presented facts. Firstly, netbooks have shown themselves to be on average 20 percent less reliable than entry-level laptops, which in turn are 10 percent more likely to break down than premium machines. In other words, you get what you pay for -- shocking, right? The big talking point, though, will inevitably be the manufacturer comparison chart above: here ASUS and Toshiba (rather appropriately) share the winners' spoils, while HP languishes in the ignominious last place, with more than a quarter of all laptops expected to suffer a hardware fault of some kind within three years.

Not really surprising. I've always liked Asus products and the fact that they provide a 2 year manufacturers warranty with every laptops means they believe in their products.
Toshiba has always been my second favourite choice even though they've didn't offer cutting edge technology (e.g. 15" laptop with num keys, eSata ports, Blu-ray drives etc) on their laptops till months after Asus and Sony did, they've always made sure their laptops have a pretty solid build.
Thanks
2009 Fall Garage Sale: HP LaserJet 1018 Laser Printer and HP Wireless G USB Print Server (2101nw)
It's still Friday for about another hour, meaning this post counts! Needless to say, I still have plenty of stuff to give away! If you've missed out on any of my other posts on what's for sale, you can now do that with ease! Just head on over to http://travistubbs.net/tag/2009fallgaragesale. If it doesn't say it's gone, it's still available! So, check out that, along with today's offerings!
Product: HP LaserJet 1018 black and white laser printer
Asking Price: $55.00
There's really not much to say about this. It's a laser printer. It prints in black and white. It's not exactly speedy, but does what it does. Still good for those that print out a lot of documents. Just don't expect the speed of a copier. Definitely faster than an inkjet printer, though (once it gets going). According to the box, the printer can print up to 12 pages per minute at 600 dpi.
One thing I want to stress about this printer: out of the box, the HP LaserJet 1018 is NOT compatible with Mac OS X and Linux-based operating systems. This is a Windows-only printer. That being said, there is a small possibility to get this printer working in those incompatible OSes, but it requires a LOT of work and is still NOT guaranteed to work. You've been warned.

Product: HP 2101nw Wireless G USB Print Server
Asking Price: $35.00
Let me start out by saying the name of the product is a lie. Let me explain. Although this is a wireless print server, it's not a TRUE networked printer device.
To use the printer wirelessly, each computer must install the Wireless G USB Print Server software (available for Windows XP and Vista, and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3662206&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us). Before you can print, you must tell the software you want to connect to the print server (though the Notification Tray or Dock icon). Your computer will take a couple moments to recognize the printer, at which point you'll be connected and then can print.
Only one person can be connected to the print server at a time, thus if anyone else is connect, they will be disconnected if someone else connects. With this understand, the device is really more of a wireless USB port and not a print server (although compatible HP printers are the only thing that can be connected to this). For a list of compatible printers, head over to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01428401&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3662206.
Outside of it's true functionality, it does work as it should. A printer doesn't have to be connected directly to your computer anymore and can be placed anywhere within range of your wireless router/access point. This is definitely useful for those with space issues.

Στα χέρια της HP περνάει η 3Com
Δημοσιεύθηκε στις Thu, 12/11/2009 - 11:15
Μια σημαντική εξέλιξη στο χώρο των εταιρειών υψηλής τεχνολογίας ανακοινώθηκε επίσημα πριν από λίγες ώρες. Η HP προχωρά στην εξαγορά της 3Com, με τη συμφωνία να έχει κλείσει στο ποσό των 2,7 δισεκατομμυρίων δολαρίων [περίπου 1,8 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ, με την τρέχουσα ισοτιμία]. Σημειωτέον ότι η HP θα καταβάλει ολόκληρο το ποσό σε χρήμα και όχι συνδυάζοντας μετρητά με μετοχές ή άλλα συναλλακτικά μέσα.
Με αυτή την εξαγορά, η HP ενισχύει σημαντικά την παρουσία της στην αγορά των προϊόντων δικτύωσης, τα οποία αποτελούν το σήμα κατατεθέν της 3Com. Παράλληλα, η κίνηση αυτή αποτελεί και επένδυση για το μέλλον, καθώς όλη η τεχνογνωσία από τα τμήματα R&D της 3Com περνάει πλέον στο στελεχικό δυναμικό του κορυφαίου κατασκευαστή υπολογιστών.
Η συμφωνία έχει ήδη εγκριθεί από τα διοικητικά συμβούλια της HP και της 3Com και αναμένεται να έχει ολοκληρωθεί μέσα στο πρώτο μισό του 2010.
