Instead of a physical computer dictating how you do what you do, the Chromebook Pixel is offering you a way to work and connect that requires only your username and password.
The second study, commissioned by Cisco Systems (nasdaq: CSCO - news - people ) and the National Cyber Security Alliance, also shows that more than 60% of employees sometimes use mobile devices without encrypted or password-protected data to connect to their work's network, and more than a third sometimes work by piggybacking on strangers' wireless Internet connections.
But more than 10, 000 Web sites now recognize a service called Facebook Connect, which enables users to use their Facebook ID and password to move fluidly among sites where registration is required.
This easy solution for wireless connectivity allows users to quickly connect the ASD-51W to the wireless router and automatically start communication and authentications without having to enter any password or SSID input.
