"solution for melting/sticky rubber-plastic interior pieces
I stumbled across a "solution" for the melting/sticky rubber-plastic problem that I've been having on my 2001 360. It's not a fix per se, but I think it's about as close to a convenient fix as there ever will be.
At least for my 360, I found that 70% isopropyl alcohol (I chose to use B-D brand alcohol pads that you can find anywhere) will basically dissolve away the melted/tacky rubber-plastic instantly and leave any good surfacing underneath alone.
In my experience, it was quite amazing. When I say instant, I mean instant. Wipe on, wipe off a couple times and it's over. The great thing about isopropyl on the melted rubber-plastic is that it lubricates the surface so it's easy to wipe off the gunk.
My door handle and release were very tacky and my ashtray cover was worse… it looked like smudged liquid tar. It took about 60 seconds to remove all the tackiness leaving a smooth tack free finish that is holding up a month later. I've also tried this on some knobs that were slightly tacky (worked there too). The only tacky piece that seemed resistant was the panel that has the hazard switch and side mirror controls. For whatever reason, that piece, while not bad, still remains slightly tacky so this 70% isopropyl alcohol didn't bat 100 for me, but I'd give it an A+++ regardless.
Anyway, on the first shot, I gave a good rubdown on all my tacky/melted interior pieces… I got most of what I wanted to done in a couple minutes. It's been a month now and I haven't seen any deterioration so I feel safe in recommending this method now. From what I'm seeing, I'm guessing that removing the melted gunk is slowing down/preventing the depolymerization/melting of the good rubber-plastic underneath.
1) B-D and high quality swabs are the way to go, they have thick pads that can absorb a nice amount of the goo. If you go for cheaper store brand swabs, they tend to be thin and papery.
2) If you wipe down with the pads and let things air-dry, you will probably leave some hazy swirls on some of the pieces. You can prevent this by having a damp 100% lint-free cloth-like paper towel ready to quickly wipe the pieces down before they air dry from the isopropyl. Be careful here... this step might not be worth it if you don't have the right towels. Even though the isopropyl will be taking the gunk off on the surfaces, there are inevitably going to be tiny crevices and edges where you can't get at unless you remove the part from the car. What I'm trying to say here is, if you're not careful and use normal paper towels, you're going to have non-tacky surfaces with little lint pieces stuck on the crevices and edges where you couldn't get good rubbing with the isopropyl pads.
I'd recommend using these cloth-like paper towels or something close. http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?...g=true&An=text
OK, I guess I'll end it here with a couple pics. The 2 pics you will see are the touchup job pics where I go do touchup jobs on the door handle and ashtray cover 1 month after the initial cleanup. I wish I took pics on the original cleanings 1 month ago, but I did this isopropyl thing more on a whim and was surprised/amazed at how it was working. Basically, it was in a dark parking lot before going to dinner, I had about 3 minutes and brought down a bunch of pads and it worked on everything it touched. I did it in the dark so it wasn't an ideal situation to do a complete job.
For the door handle "BEFORE" pic, notice the left edge where it took it down to the metal but left alone the surrounding good rubber-plastic. Also notice the door handle cup area circled on the right side, see the hazy mess at the bottom. That hazy mess is actually the goo/tacky substance that initially covered the whole door handle/release lever. 1 month ago, on the initial cleanup, I didn't pay attention to cleaning out the bottom area of the door handle cup so it left a good opportunity for a before and after picture today.
In the "AFTER" pic, the goo is gone and the surface is non-tacky like the rest of the door handle. Please note, the AFTER color in the door handle cup is pretty uniform to the eye. The color difference you might see in the pic is more due to the front area of cup was "wet" with isopropyl at the time of the pic. When dry, everything was uniform. Also, the yellow window shows some B-D swabs after wiping off the goop.
Picture 2:
In the "BEFORE" pic, focus on the red rectangle in the top right corner of the ashtray. It shows a tarry smudge on a spot I missed on the initial cleanup. On the after pic, it's gone. Also, in the after pic, I did a pretty good job of wiping the piece down after the isopropyl to reduce the overall hazing that you see in the Before pic. However, in the after shot, there's a little hazing I missed this time around right in front of the grab lip for the ashtray lid.
I'll make this post here and in the techncal Q&A.. I'd like to make this post in the 355 area too, but I don't want to spam this post everywhere, although this melting issue affects a lot of different models and I think people who are affected will really want to see this post. Please pass this info around and please only post questions to me in the 360 forum. Good luck --- John
P.S. I was surprised to see my JL Audio subwoofer that I keep behind the driver's had speaker surrounds that crumbled to the touch. I wonder if it underwent the same "stress" as the rubber-plastic in the interior. JL Audio is an elite brand and I had the sub for 4.5 years. The speaker was blown, but what was interesting is, when I pressed the speaker cone foam surrounds, they crumbled like damp cornbread with a very light touch. I have to believe this is not normal for a 4.5 year old JL audio sub. I wonder if this melting issue has nothing to do with UV nor cleaning chemicals (Which the subwoofer was never exposed to). Maybe it has more to do with something universal like exhaust gases that filter into the cabin? Ie. maybe people who experience the worst problems either have more leakage or maybe after a drive, they have their windows rolled up and the engine running for a bit before shutting off. I would tend to believe an explanation like that more now after seeing the subwoofer.

Great write up. I was told by JL a few years back that the detonation of the foam was due to 3 things UV, humidity and lack of use (sitting).
I'm not so sure I'll be replacing any more rubberized pieces as their failure rate is awfully high. As they "tar" I'll be wiping them down. My passenger door is like tar too, so I'll be giving it the treatment. I already wiped down the pull handle stays and I believe they look better anyway. Anyone wanting to buy these cars from us at some point will certainly understand and probably appreciate the effort. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't care if the entire car had been "tar-less" when I bought it.
controlled. Though did go through long periods of non-use after the kids were born.
I had a local speaker repair specialist rebuild the foam surrounds for low dollars.
Been good for many years since.
One question.
Doesnt that isopropyl alcohol erases the lettering on the buttons ?
I dying to try this on my spyder 2004 but im wondering if those markings letters symbols etc go away ...
I think it does remove the lettering, and the surface texture ends up being harder than it was originally, but if you're dealing with the "tar" level of stickiness, it's really the OP's technique or buying new ones.
(its what many, many owners do)
The graphics will be removed on some parts that have silk screened graphics on top of the coating. The ones that have factory laser etching will stay if the soft touch is a clear. If it's a black soft touch, bye - bye graphics.

Advanced Analytics MSIE Concentration
Data Analytics involves the development and application of statistical and quantitative analysis methods and the construction of explanatory and predictive models to drive the decision making process. ISE's advanced analytics program is focused on five core areas of research and course development: statistics and data analysis, operations research and decision sciences, computing and computational methods, and enterprise and business fundamentals. Specific relevant research areas pursued in ISE include statistical inference methods, clustering and classification, graphical models, and data-driven optimization.
Advanced Analytics (also referred to Data Analytics or simply Analytics) is a relatively young, multidisciplinary field that relates the application of engineering approaches and methods to the analysis and management of data-oriented engineering and business processes. Common problems involve collecting data, cleaning and analyzing data, building decision models based on data and making predictions and decisions.
The Department of ISE in the highly ranked College of Engineering at the University of Illinois, with its cutting-edge research by innovative faculty, diverse highly ranked departments, fantastic facilities and leading-edge laboratories, and national resources such as the NCSA and its recent National Data Center (NDC) initiative, is very well poised to undertake programs to address some of the pressing need for talent.

Increasingly Critical Importance of Advanced Analytics
Ubiquitous computing, pervasive communication technologies and wireless networks, the proliferation of network enabled devices and instruments with multi-media capabilities, and social networking paradigms and inexpensive global communication capabilities, have enabled large amounts of data to be generated, gathered, archived and distributed by organizations every day.
This data can provide important information about scientific and technological breakthroughs, customers, organizational performance, supply and demand infrastructures, and future trends. A new breed of engineering graduates is required to manage this data and convert them into useful information that can help shape the decisions companies and organizations make; these decisions influence also the strategic directions and policies.
Most Fortune 500 companies are hiring professionals with these skills. However such professionals are in very short supply.
The Institute of Operations Research and Management Science Society (INFORMS) in an article on getting started with Analytics, titled "NBN: Operations Research Saves Billions for the World's Largest Broadband Project," describes how the National Broadband Network (NBN) in Australia using Operations Research and Analytics saved an estimated $2.2B in avoided costs over the project's lifecycle and emphasizes how analytics consistently delivers significant value – strategic to tactical, top-line to bottom-line – to the organizations and executives who use it.
INFORMS established the Analytics section in 2011 and renamed its Spring conference as the INFORMS Conference on Business Analytics and Operations Research, which attracted participants from many companies including IBM, Oracle, HP, Intel, Cisco, Best Buy, Deloitte Consulting, SAS, DELL, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, McDonald's Corporation, UPS, Boeing, P&G, Wal-Mart, and Bank of America. It is noteworthy that at the INFORMS Conference on The Business of Big Data, in June 2014, the keynotes by experts in Teradata and Accenture addressed big data in action and emphasized the role of analytics.
"Companies are increasingly turning to analytics to gain a competitive edge. As they do, they must resolve unique demands on their information technology, their structure, their processes, and their culture. Most critical, however, is the challenge posed by analytical talent, the people at all levels who help turn data into better decisions and better business results." Accenture, Counting on Analytical Talent, March 2010
IDC survey and research in March 2013, published in December 2013 in the white paper "Using Big Data and Analytics as the Ticket to Strategic Relevance," by Dan Vesset and Henry Morris states:
"Many best practices hinge on the ability of IT (information technology) leaders to articulate and market their core competency and value proposition to other internal stakeholders. By better communicating the value of analytics and IT's role in realizing it, IT can help lines of business better assess the value of analytics. This helps sharpen the story of what analytics does for an organization and can help stimulate wider analytics deployment."
McKinsey Global Institute's Report in June 2011 on "Big Data: The Next Frontier for Innovation, Competition and Productivity" states:
"We estimate that the supply in the United States of deep analytical talent in 2008 was around 150,000 positions." This total rises to about 300,000 with newer graduates and trends in course selections. However, in a big-data world, they expect demands for deep analytical talent could reach 440,000 to 490,000 positions in 2018, which implies a talent gap in this category alone of 140,000-190,000 positions. In short, the United States will need an additional supply of this class of talent of 50 to 60 percent."
They say although this analysis was conducted in the United States, they believe that the shortage of deep analytical talent will be a global phenomenon.
In addition to this, they report that in the case of data-savvy managers and analysts in a big-data world, who need enough conceptual knowledge and quantitative skills to be able to frame and interpret analysis in an effective way. They estimate the shortfall by 2018 to be as high as 4 million positions with such skills.

Qantas Airways will reap the benefits of its dramatic financial turnaround in the form of a lower interest bill, after Moody's restored the airline's investment grade credit rating.
On Monday Moody's upgraded its rating on the airline to Baa3, with a "stable" outlook, from the previous Ba1 rating.
Standard & Poor's had already returned Qantas to investment grade in November, but the carrier needed the tick of approval from both ratings agencies to gain the full financial benefits of an investment grade rating.
"Moody's decision to restore our investment grade rating is a reflection of the hard work to get our balance sheet in good shape and to put the Qantas Group in a sustainably strong position," Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said on Monday.
Qantas lost its long-time investment grade rating in 2013 when it faced stiff competition with Virgin Australia in the domestic market and against foreign rivals in the international market, at a time of high fuel prices. At the time, Qantas sought a government debt guarantee to lift its credit rating but none was forthcoming.
Qantas joins Southwest Airlines and EasyJet as the only three airlines globally to have an investment grade credit rating from both Moody's and S&P.
Save on interest bill
There are estimates Qantas could ultimately save about $50 million on its interest bill annually as a result of the ratings upgrade, but it won't receive the full benefits until some of its existing fixed-rate facilities mature or are refinanced over time.
Moody's vice-president Ian Chitterer said Qantas' rating had been upgraded because it had reduced debt by $1 billion and had benefited financially from the lower fuel price and its cost-cutting programs.
"The company's updated financial framework and focus on return on invested capital indicates that Qantas will take the necessary steps to address volatility, periods of sustained weak demand and high fuel prices," Mr Chitterer said.
The airline unveiled plans last week to return $500 million to shareholders through an on-market buyback program, after reporting a record half-year underlying profit before tax of $921 million. Qantas reported a 23 per cent return on invested capital during the period.
Moody's said Qantas was unlikely to receive a further upgrade in its credit rating over the next 12 to 18 months because it needed to establish a track record under its new financial framework.
The ratings agency said it would consider downgrading the rating if Qantas was unable to sustain or build on the improved profitability in its domestic and international businesses.
Extra capacity pays off
Meanwhile, the decision by Qantas to add a significant amount of international capacity appears to have paid off in the peak travel month of January, and the move could help allay some lingering market concerns over whether the division is growing too fast.
The airline's January traffic statistics show the carrier lifted international capacity 10.3 per cent – a greater growth rate than the 6.5 per cent rise in the first half of the financial year – but still managed to increase the percentage of seats filled and revenue per available seat kilometre.

Currently Loving: Lace Details5:00 AM
We recently shot a wedding in Jamaica and the bride wore a gorgeous lace gown. (Click here for a preview picture!) I fell in love with lace gowns long before I planned my wedding and always wanted one. I ended up with a totally different gown (if you haven't seen my wedding pictures yet, click here) but still have a place in my heart for lace wedding gowns. It kind of got me into a kick of looking for lace stuff to wear in the next couple of months and I'm loving the little bit of lace touches in all of these. It makes it less dressy and wearable for day or night in the coming summer months.
Adore, adore this top. Click on the picture to see the back of it, it's gorgeous!
This would be cute with a skirt or shorts.
A perfect cover up for a little summer dress.
Pair this with dark skinny jeans for a perfect date night outfit.
Sexy but not too scandalous!
Love this cream color and the mix of the zipper and lace.
Who knew Lauren Conrad designed such cute stuff?
How cute is this jacket? I would wear this with everything!
Don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't yet!

Yes! Lace! I agree, I'm loving it too. I recently made a black lace tube dress! I haven't worn it yet, but soon.ReplyDelete
I'm feeling the lace ASOS skirt.
Okay can we just talk about your wedding photos?! WOW!!! I'm SO GLAD you linked back to those as I've never seen them (only known about your blog since I started blogging at the end of January :) Wow, Tiffany, simply stunning. Insane that there was a hurricaine and incredible that with all the damage the pictures are soo beautiful and you'd never know. I looooove that shot of you guys out on on path-bridge (?) and there is water everywhere else (you are off in the distance). And soooo brave of you to go on that rickity bridge solo that the waves were crashing over during the storm. I also love how you cut the cake alone and the saying at the end, '...and said goodbye to our wonderful, magical day' Awwww! :( / :)

Progestin Singled Out As Doctors Rethink Post-Menopausal TherapiesAug 15, 2003 | Kansas City Star
The problem with hormone replacement therapy is starting to look like a problem with progestin.
Progestin is one of the hormones taken by millions of women in the United States to alleviate the symptoms of menopause. The other one is estrogen.
A study published last week in The Lancet, a British medical journal, added to the evidence that hormone therapy particularly progestin increases a woman's odds of developing a serious illness. The Lancet study looked at breast cancer specifically.
The researchers surveyed about 1 million British women and concluded that for every 1,000 women who take estrogen for 10 years, an extra five develop breast cancer compared to women who don't take replacement hormones. For every 1,000 women taking estrogen plus progestin, 19 more cases of breast cancer developed than among non-users.
Because this was an observational study in which women simply reported on their hormone use, the results are considered less reliable than they would be if derived from a carefully controlled clinical study in which subjects are randomly assigned to receive either drugs or placebos.
Nonetheless, the study's outcome is helping to resolve the menopausal puzzle.
"Increasingly it looks like the problem is progestin," said Wolf Utian, a gynecologist and executive director of the North American Menopause Society. "The Lancet study shows a slight increase with estrogen, but the big increases are with estrogen plus progestin."
Progestins are similar but not identical to progesterone, the hormone made by a woman's body to counter some of the effects of estrogen. Among other things, progesterone triggers the monthly shedding of the uterine lining.
Progestins earned a black mark a year ago when the federal government stopped administering them to subjects in a large and important clinical test of hormone therapy's health effects. It's known as the Women's Health Initiative.
One group of women was receiving estrogen plus a progestin. That group is no longer being given the hormone formula because of concerns about increased rates of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer that were showing up in the group. Another group, women whose uteruses had been removed, received estrogen only. That group is still being studied. So far, no pattern of increased cardiac problems or cancer has surfaced.
Progestins have a poor track record where breast cancer and cardiac health are concerned, said Sharonne Hays, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Progestins tend to decrease the amount of high-density cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol that escorts the artery-clogging low-density lipoprotein out of the vascular system, she said.
Although progestins are the compounds generally tested in drug studies in the United States, Hays said Europeans favor micronized progesterone, the hormone that is identical to that made by a woman's body.
Although U.S. hormone manufacturers still make the non-identical progestins that have been raising questions, Hays said some patients and doctors are finding ways around the progestin problem. Many of them are using progesterone, which is available in a range of forms including pills, creams and suppositories.
"Certainly since the Women's Health Initiative, many women in this country have switched to progesterone in one of various forms," said Marilyn Richardson, interim director of the division of reproductive endocrinology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Because of progestin's negative effects on cholesterol and its occasional side effects of headache, bloating and depression, Richardson said she has generally prescribed progesterone for the last 15 years.
Another increasingly popular strategy, which can be employed with progesterone or a progestin, is to take it only sporadically. Some hormone formulations include a dose of progestin every day, which is designed to prevent menstrual bleeding. Although it appeals to many women on convenience grounds, it runs counter to a woman's natural hormonal cycle, in which substantial amounts of progesterone are produced during only about one-third of the menstrual cycle.
Some people suspect that the daily dose may contribute to the problems that seem to be associated with progestin. A hormone therapy regimen can be designed with progestin or progesterone on almost any schedule that a woman desires.
Hays said the troubling research data on hormone therapy, "especially the potent negative data on progestins," has spurred some creative thinking about alternatives.
"The cyclical hormones where a woman takes progesterone only every three or four months have become exceedingly popular," Hays said. A week or two of progestin or progesterone every three or four months with a resulting period seems to be enough to keep the uterine lining from building to the point where it poses a cancer risk, she said. And a woman can plan her periods when they're least intrusive.
A few women, with their physician's consent, are starting to take estrogen without progesterone or progestin, Hays said. It has long been unquestioned medical wisdom that a woman with a uterus must take progestin or progesterone along with estrogen. That wisdom is even being questioned now, Hays said.
"I know some of our gynecologists here and elsewhere who are saying now that progestin is looking pretty bad, and that maybe offering this (estrogen alone) to women who are not at high risk (for endometrial cancer) is not a bad thing."
KU's Richardson is not one of them.
"I would not consider that a safe practice at this point," she said.
Although unopposed estrogen does increase the risk of uterine cancer, it rarely is fatal, Hays said. And regular monitoring by a physician can catch any abnormality early, she said.
As bits of research about hormone therapy continue to trickle out, Hays said, "patients are saying, `I don't like the options I've read about. What else do you have to offer me?' "
But at the same time that some women and their doctors are experimenting with new approaches, and despite hormone therapy sales having dropped about 40 percent the past year, plenty of women are still ingesting a daily dose of progestin.
"A lot of physicians are chagrined that despite data from eight years ago that showed the micronized progesterone was favorable in terms of HDL and other things, that the No. 1 prescription for post-menopausal women was Prempro," Hays said. Prempro contains both estrogen and progestin.
"The progestin question is a really a biggie."

In the midst of all the energy about the iPhone 7, Apple dispatched the new form of its wearable. What's more, it looks verging on indistinguishable to the present one.
However, it has a great deal riding on it, sitting toward the start of Apple's central goal to make wearables another center and make individuals come round to the new market.
The enormous changes this year are without a doubt wellness based: Apple has added new elements to give you a chance to swim with your Watch on, and walk and keep running without your telephone in your pocket.
The first is new waterproofing that gives the telephone a chance to make due amid a swim. What's more, Apple has changed the product, as well, so that the telephone can legitimately track individuals while they travel through the water.
What's more, it likewise has worked in GPS, so that the Watch can get its own particular area without the telephone. That implies that it can be utilized for mapping keeps running without the telephone in your pocket.
They're two negligible overhauls – the watch has a striking resemblance generally – yet they're enormous ones on the off chance that you've been sitting tight for them.
Arrangement 1
Generally as imperatively, Apple invigorated the first form of the Watch and now calls it the Series 1. It has the same processor inside it as the Series 2, and is generally the same separated from a shabby cost.
You can get the Series 1 from £269, contrasted with the least expensive Series from £369.
In case you're not made a big deal about utilizing the Watch as a wellness tracker – or need to do it yet aren't enthused about doing it while running or strolling outside – then the Series 1 is a pleasant method for doing it.
Part of the dispatch occasion was brought up with the Nike+ dispatch, the most recent of Apple's tie-ups with the game brand. It's generally the same as alternate Watches, yet it accompanies a unique streamlined strap and pre-stacked with Nike's product.
In case you're enthused about Nike, then it may be worth lifting this one up – it's a decent method for consolidating the two brands. In any case, else it doesn't offer that much, since the majority of the running elements are found in the typical Apple Watch.
Apple Watch Edition
This rendition of the iPhone – the gold and rose gold ones, that sold for five figures – was dreaded dead. It turns out it's alive once more, yet in an alternate structure.
Apple is currently utilizing the Edition name to allude to the new watch, made of earthenware. It's significantly less expensive at £1,299 for the greater form, and like the gold ones the attention is on the material.
Apple says that material is much hardier than the stainless steel utilized as a part of the Watch – more than four times as tough. What's more, it's not given to scratching or discoloring (however fired is inclined to breaking when dropped, yet Apple didn't say that).
Inside, the Watch is altogether the same. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you were needing to purchase one of the world class watches and the cost had put you off, or you're enthusiastic about spending for a white one, then this may be for you.
Whether you ought to purchase the watch, and which watch you purchase, clearly depends totally on what you need to do with it.
While the invigorate of the first watch may be the slightest fabulous, it may likewise be the most imperative. It makes the Watch much less expensive, yet at the same time quicker – so in the event that you'd been wavering some time recently, this may be the one to do you switch over.
Also, in the event that you'd been needing the Apple Watch before yet weren't persuaded by its running or swimming following, the Series 2 ought to be the thing to win you over.

A touchscreen on your desktop: Three new displays
Getting Windows 8? You're going to want a touchscreen. We look at three of the latest monitors from Acer, Dell and ViewSonic.
With the introduction of Windows 8, touchscreens are coming to the desktop -- but they're not cheap. We look at three of the latest monitors from Acer, Dell and ViewSonic.
Your next touchscreen may not be on a phone, tablet or laptop, but part of your desktop system. The latest touch displays work well with Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system, but can tilt or fold flat on a desktop to make swiping, tapping and forming complex finger gestures a lot more natural than with a vertical orientation.
"The current touch monitors add a new dimension to Windows 8," says Linn Huang, senior research analyst at IDC. "They make interaction second nature and put the software at your fingertips, literally."
In this roundup, I look at three of the newest touch monitors: the Acer T232HL bmidz, the Dell S2340T and the ViewSonic TD2220.
While all three displays deliver a sharp HD image and have active viewing areas of between 21.5 in. and 23 in., they also differ in a couple of significant ways.
Number of individual inputs. While older touchscreens could handle only one finger input at a time, the latest multitouch capacitive displays can work with up to 32 separate inputs, although most are limited to 10 at a time. This allows software designers to create complex applications that allow for a wider array of gestures and accept input from more than one user at a time.
Of the monitors covered in this roundup, the Acer and Dell can work with up to 10 separate inputs at a time, while the ViewSonic can only work with two fingers at a time.
Display mount. The way the display is mounted makes a big difference as well. While the ability to adjust the height and angle of a traditional monitor can make viewing more comfortable, it is de rigueur with a touchscreen.
That's because the display has to have two personalities: It has to stand upright for displaying vertically but be able to quickly and easily tilt to make writing, drawing or interacting with the software easier.
While the ViewSonic and Acer displays can tilt moderately, only the Dell can smoothly transform itself from a traditional vertical posture to being fully horizontal -- and all angles in between. It is also the only one of the three displays to offer the ability to move up and down. A marvel of mechanical design, the Dell is also, by far, the most expensive of the three.
Finally, keep in mind that cost is still a major stumbling block for touch-capable monitors. While notebooks with touchscreens generally carry a price premium of about $100 vs. non-touch models, the cost difference for monitors can be a two- to threefold increase. For instance, the touch-based Acer T232HL display lists for $549 while a similar no-touch display, the Acer S235HL, has a list price of $200.
"At the moment, touchscreens are an expensive niche," says IDC's Huang. "But that will change over time as they become more popular [and] the volume increases and touch becomes more of a consumer technology."
However, if you don't want to wait to take advantage of this new technology, one of these three monitors may be right for you.
(Story continues on next page.)
3 touch displays: Features
Touchscreen displays: How I tested
To gauge how these touchscreen displays compare, I put them through a series of tests that included daily work, gaming and videos.
I started by testing their compatibility with three notebooks: Toshiba's Portege Z935, Sony's VAIO T13 and Dell's Inspiron 15z, all of which were equipped with Windows 8 and USB 3.0 ports. I used them in both simultaneous and extended display modes.
After examining the monitor's input and output ports, I measured each in its upright orientation and determined if the touch surface was flush with the monitor's frame. After seeing if the screen could be adjusted up and down, I tilted the screen forward and back, measuring the angle with an inclinometer.
Too see how much each display wobbled, I tapped each a few times at its four corners and looked at how much the display moved back and forth. Finally, I tried to put a notebook, keyboard and cellphone underneath.
To determine how many independent inputs each monitor can handle, I opened the Windows Paint app and touched the active surface with progressively more fingers until all 10 were in contact with the surface. After removing my hands, I noted how many dots the screen showed. This corresponds to how many independent inputs the display can accommodate.
I ran each display through a number of tests to see how accurate and responsive the surfaces are. These tasks include opening the Windows 8 Charms menu, entering Web addresses with the on-screen keyboard, tapping on icons, moving Excel cells, highlighting sentences in Word, zooming in on an image and moving an object around on the desktop. I used two- and three-finger gestures and played several rounds of GameHouse's Cut the Rope game. Finally, I tried a Wacom Bamboo stylus and finished by watching several HD videos on each display.
With the monitor configured to its default settings, I connected it to the Vaio T13 and measured its brightness using a Konica-Minolta CS-200 luminance and color meter, which records the screen's illuminance (intensity of light) in candelas per square meter (cd/m).
Using a white image and with the meter set to measure a two-degree spot, I set the meter on a tripod 36 inches from the display. I aimed at nine test locations on the display's surface and recorded the illuminance reading at each location. I then averaged the nine readings for the average brightness. Lastly, I divided the center reading by the average of the four corners for the screen's uniformity rating. (I used each monitor's default setting, since most vendors create these settings to be a good balance between brightness and image quality.)
Finally, I connected a P3 International Kill a Watt GT power meter to the electrical line and measured how much electricity the display was drawing, both while in use and while asleep.
Easily the largest (in total) of the three monitors reviewed here, the 23-in. Acer T232HL measures 16.8 x 22.6 x 12.4 in. (HWD). It offers 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 5ms response time.
An unusual support
Instead of being mounted on a central arm or Z-shaped articulated support (as is usual with most displays), the monitor has a single hook-shaped silver leg that extends out of the back of the display, creating a support that the whole monitor leans against.

While this means the screen can't move up or down, its tilt can be adjusted between 80 and 30 degrees for comfortable drawing and writing angles. This isn't a perfect solution -- it took two hands and some effort to change the angle, and when I tried to set the screen at a 90-degree angle, the monitor started to tip over.
On the other hand, this was the most stable display of the three, regardless of which angle it was set at. It wobbled only slightly when it was tapped (and then, only when tapped on a corner), and there was no need to brace the back of the display with a hand when using it.
There's a 2.3-in.-wide strip of clear plastic across the bottom of the front, which I found somewhat inconvenient, because I like to use the open space below a monitor to slip in a notebook, phone or keyboard. The display does have four VESA screw holes for mounting on a wall.
Working with touch
The surface of the Acer's 10-point multitouch capacitive screen is flush with the monitor's frame, making it easy to work with.
In testing, I found that the display worked well with everything from bringing out the Windows 8 Charms menu to moving an image around and interpreting a variety of gestures. Moving Excel cells or highlighting items using a finger was quick, efficient and much easier than with a mouse. When I played the Cut the Rope game, the screen's touch action was smooth, responsive and precise.
Other features
The Acer comes with DVI, VGA and HDMI ports as well as three USB slots and an audio jack; its selection of ports is better than that of the minimalist ViewSonic (although it is second best to the Dell's wider assortment of connections).
At a Glance
AcerPrice: $549Pros: Stable screen, adjustable tilt, uniform brightnessCons: No height adjustment, can't stand vertically
The monitor doesn't have a webcam or microphone, but it does come with stereo speakers, which had a generally good sound but didn't supply a lot of volume.
As well as brightness, contrast and color temperature adjustments, the Acer has preset setting combinations labeled Eco, Graphics, Movie and Standard; there is also a user-adjustable setting.
The Acer displayed a bright white image and good color balance, and its 95% uniformity rating was the best of the bunch. When I tested it for brightness, I got results of 187 cd/m, well below the vendor's 250 cd/m rating. However, when I looked at several color images and videos, it seemed (subjectively) to lack the clarity that the others had.
The monitor used the most power of the three in tests: 24.6 watts.
Bottom line
The Acer T232HL is a good monitor, with fine image quality. If you want a touch monitor and you're on a budget, the Acer could work for you. However, its lack of features such as a webcam and a microphone, and its inability to be set up vertically or horizontally on a desk, will hold it back in the marketplace.
Like a devotee of yoga, the 23-in. Dell S2340T can assume a wide variety of positions and angles. The 14.1 x 22.2 x 8.6-in (HWD) monitor is capable of a 1980 x 1080 resolution that runs at 8ms, slightly slower than the other two reviewed here.
Dell S2340T Dell S2340T -- side view
Moving anywhere
The key to the Dell's success is its weighted base and Z-shaped arm that allows the screen to pivot at the base and the back of the display. Because of this, the display can go through a variety of positions: from being flat on the desk to fully vertical -- as well as any angle in between.
It can even angle 5 degrees toward the viewer, and can be thrust forward from the base and then and lowered to dip about an inch below the edge of the table.
Unlike the awkwardness I found in adjusting the Acer's angle, with the Dell the action was smooth. I just had to push or pull the screen down or up to set it to a comfortable angle. It does take a little effort to raise and lower the screen, but that can be accomplished with one hand.
Regardless of whether it is horizontal or vertical, the screen can be set up from 0.5 to 2.7 in. above the tabletop, leaving plenty of room for a notebook, keyboard or phone. Once it is set to a position, the display is secure and only wobbles a little when it is vigorously tapped.
The active area is flush with the bezel, and that bezel is narrower than the one on the Acer. It quickly became second nature for me to use the display's 10-point multitouch surface to swipe out a menu, highlight a sentence or move spreadsheet cells around. In the Cut the Rope game, the touch response was fast and precise.
Other features
The system is the best connected of the three, with an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, an audio port and an Ethernet port on the base. The monitor also comes with a microphone, a webcam and speakers, which sounded quite good and were more than loud enough. The only thing I missed: It lacks traditional VGA and DVI ports for using older notebooks and desktops.
As is the case with the ViewSonic and the Acer, the Dell uses a USB cable to connect to a PC, but unlike the others, setup wasn't always automatic. In fact, the first time I used it with the Vaio T13, I had to manually load Dell's drivers.
At a Glance
DellPrice: $699.99Pros: Display can be vertical or horizontal, good number of ports, slim, beautiful designCons: High price, no VGA or DVI port, drivers don't automatically load, must use USB 3.0 to connect to computer
Plus, Dell's drivers are set up so you have to use the USB 3.0 port to connect to your system or touch commands won't be transferred to the computer.
The monitor has a variety of controls and adjustments, including brightness, contrast and color temperature. There are preset modes ranging from Standard, Movie and Gaming to Multimedia and Text.
The Dell's performance was a mixed bag. In my tests, it lagged behind the others on brightness with a rating of 161 cd/m, well below the vendor's stated rating of 270 cd/m.
Still, the Dell delivered bright white backgrounds and had excellent color balance. Its 91% uniformity rating and 23.5-watt power consumption were midway between the other two monitors.
Bottom line
If you're looking for a monitor that not only responds to your touch but strikes a nice balance between form and function, look no further than Dell's S2340T. At $699.99, it may be expensive, but it is worth it.
The most traditional-looking monitor of the three reviewed here, the ViewSonic TD2220 appears to be a conventional display but has a few added attractions.
The 21.5-in. 1920-x-1080-resolution display is the smallest of the three. It has a 5ms response time rating. Like many other ViewSonic products, the glass has a scratch-resistant coating.
Basic touch
Built around a rectangular base with a cantilevered arm, the ViewSonic takes up 14.4 x 20.1 x 9.5 in. (HWD). The display can't move up and down, but there is 2.5 in. of open space below for stashing a notebook, keyboard or cellphone.

The Web in Ten Years

At the recent PACA annual meeting in New York, Roger Ressmeyer moderated a seminar on "The Web in 10 Years". The following are his remarks.
Roger Ressmeyer
/ Visions of Tomorrow
In the stock photo industry, internet advancements are occurring at light speed. While many of us are trying to figure out where the web was 10 months ago, it can be difficult to imagine it ten years from today.
However, I can offer a few basic crystal ball projections from my prior experiences at Starlight and Corbis, and from my current research at Visions of Tomorrow. Let's start with technology.
Internet bandwidth will continue to take giant leaps - the World Wide Wait is already disappearing. Cable modem and DSL services are expanding like wildfire into new regions. In my own Seattle neighborhood we just installed a cable modem which costs only $40/month for continuous 24-hour access. Using cable, changing between web sites is almost as quick as changing channels a TV set. During our first test, we downloaded a 60MB uncompressed photograph in less than 5 minutes. In 10 years data transfer bandwidth will be eons beyond even today's fastest rates. We'll think of 1999 as the beginning of the end of the digital dark ages
Computers will finally be fun to use. Huge flat-panel screens will move computers off your office desks and onto your living room walls, resembling a 30"x40" light box only inches thick. They'll turn on instantly, accurately respond to voice commands, and software won't crash. Software updates will happen automatically without any intervention. Computer/internet service will behave more like a reliable utility than a high-maintenance toy
We'll look back at the last two decades of the old millennium as a time when we wasted huge chunks of time re-booting our computers and tinkering with broken software. We'll remember clicking & waiting for the screen to fill, or for the hourglass to spin, as an annoying insult to our intelligence.
Amazon.com first recognized and began to correct the computer's annoyance factor. They built a company based on fantastic customer service, a truly user-friendly design and their popular "one click" feature - which means find a product, click on it once, and your order is complete right down to your encrypted credit card number and delivery address. Photo agency software must follow this lead with fully accurate searches, instant gratification of orders, and a warm response to customer queries
Digital image resolution won't stop growing until a photograph's grain structure is fully captured and resolved even in scans of large format images. Screen resolution "cut downs" will max out at around 2,000 by 1,200 pixels, and "dots per inch" will be meaningless except at paper printing presses.
Color depth will increase to 10 or 12 bits per channel, well beyond today's typical 8 bits per channel. "Photo In/Photo Out" file sizes, where digitalization is invisible, will max out at about 100 MB uncompressed per 35mm frame, 300MB per medium format frame, and about a gigabyte per 4"x5", or panoramic frame. Digital cameras will be hot in pursuit of film to reach these image resolutions and color depths. Since film will still have better latitude and instantaneous storage speeds, it will still be a healthy industry.
High-quality images, the best-of-the-best in each collection, will need to be re-scanned at these higher resolutions. Accurate key wording will become more and more important as a valued customer service. A standardized digital "Dewey Decimal System" of key words will be developed and adopted well before the decade passes. The best images will need to be re-catalogued to these new standards. Fortunately, today's scans and cataloguing efforts will make re-editing and upgrading a cost-effective process
I'd also like to touch on the quality of still-image content, which I believe will become much more important. High bandwidth means that motion imagery is likely to be preferred over second-grade still imagery. But the very best still images -- ones that you look at twice and then realize you'd like to stare at for a long time -- will be highly valued and profitable, especially if they are fully rights-controlled.
The biggest editorial publishers will likely succeed in their efforts to fully control re-use of almost all the content shot on assignment for them - and they will pay the photographers for those greater rights out of increased royalties from web-based licensing. As a result, the body of editorial stock imagery that traditionally went to mid-sized agencies will dry up. To compensate, independent stock agencies will become more involved than ever before in production photography.
Search engines will grow on top of search engines, and the value of controlling rights (and the URL's) to the best imagery will become increasingly apparent. Take a look at Corbis' influence on Alta Vista's "AV Photo & Media Finder" or at the equalizing effect of Arriba Vista's design, for two opposing approaches that are likely to succeed.
I am absolutely confident that despite the changing landscape of our business world, the web's future will bring tremendous new opportunities for stock agencies, photo libraries, and for photographers of all ages. The biggest agencies will buy or trade for visibility on the biggest internet portals, and innovative startups will find ways to carve out profitable niches.
The creators - and by that I mean visionary photographers, artists and independent technologists - will band together whenever the royalty/creator revenue balance gets to far out of line. At the bottom line, our industry is dependent on the suppliers of great new imagery. When a healthy living can't be made due to lessened royalties, and the sources of imagery start to dry up, creators will build start-up agencies based on supportive business models. It won't cost very much to do that in 10 years.
Hence, the web in 10 years will be more responsive to the needs of both the many and the few - responsive to the many photographers and to the few agencies that successfully market their work. The dark ages are indeed ending.
Roger Ressmeyer has worked as an award-winning assignment photographer for National Geographic, Time, Life, People, Newsweek, and The New York Times, since 1975. He authored and/or produced several mass-market picture books including Orbit - NASA Astronaut Photograph the Earth and Space Places. In 1995 the Corbis Corporation, a digital photo library privately owned by Bill Gates, purchased Ressmeyer's collection of over a half-million images as well as his company, the Starlight Photo Agency. From 1995 until 1998, Ressmeyer worked for Corbis as strategic planner, manager of international distribution, and editor in charge of sourcing professional photographers. Today, Ressmeyer's company Visions of Tomorrow provides strategic consulting, planning, and editing.services to major companies in the photo industry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!In the spirit of the whole "new year, new you" theme that takes over our lives this time of year, I wanted to share this beauty scoop with all of you.
Over the past few months, I have used a bunch of Jose Maran products. I find the best price for this brand is usually when it is on QVC. (Like most beauty junkies, I love QVC!)
The one product that has really stuck out to me is the Argan Oil.
Lately I have been using Josie Maran Argan Oil along with a retinol cream on a nightly basis as my skin treatment. That's all! I wash and exfoliate my face, and then apply it.
- I squeeze out a pea sized amount of retinol cream
- I squeeze about 2-3 drops of Argan Oil
- I mix the two between my finger tips
- I apply it to my face and neck, dabbing in small circles.
This has been working wonders for me. Other than a breakout from too much sugar and junk around Christmas, I haven't had any major breakouts since starting this routine and I feel like I am finally able to get the retinol cream to cover my entire face by mixing it with the oil. Before, I would get concentrated amounts in one spot and this would cause peeling. I've been using this routine since October so I feel confident in saying that it's working well.
TIP: If you have sensitive skin like me, try to fight the urge to exfoliate every day. I find that exfoliating every other day with my Prosonic actually makes my skin look better than doing it every day. Just make sure on your in between day you're washing your makeup off really well. I've been using the St Ives "Blemish Control Green Tea Gel Cleanser", but any basic cleanser that doesn't leave your skin feeling dry and tight will do.
What are your go-to skin products? Share then with me on twitter @danielle0090.
