HP unveils Elite L2201x: super slim 22-inch monitor

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/hp-unveils-elite-l2201x-super-slim-22-inch-monitor/

During our Monday morning HP deluge, we managed to overlook this rather slender 22-inch monitor. Buried beneath a slew of other announcements in the outfit's latest press release is the Elite L2201x: an LED-backlit display, measuring just 0.4-inches thick. It offers a 1920 x 1080 display, 5000:1 contrast ratio, and a DisplayPort for hooking up. It may not be the slimmest screen we've ever come across, but we'd say it's a mighty fine monitor, and for $250, it's a relatively cheap date to boot. The Elite L2201x lands stateside June 1st.

Google Calendar Adds Color Coding to Individual Events [In Brief]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5799957/google-calendar-adds-color-coding-to-individual-events

If you use Google Calendar, you probably use multiple calendars to color-code your events for easy organization. Now, Google's rolling out a new feature that lets you color code individual events, instead of just entire calendars. That way, you can keep events in a specific category, but draw more attention to them with a specific color. Just click the box to the left of the title in an event and choose the color for that event. If it's a recurring event, you can change all occurrences or just that one occurrence. The feature seems to be rolling out gradually, so if you don't have it yet, check back periodically and see if it shows up. [Google Calendar Help via Google Operating System]

SSH Tunnel Is the Easiest Way to Tunnel on Your Android Device [Downloads]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5799888/ssh-tunnel-is-the-easiest-way-to-tunnel-on-your-android-device

Android: SSH Tunnel is free, open source, and provides one-click SSH tunneling for the entire system or individual apps. The app's official purpose is to allow users in China to bypass what's been called "the Great Firewall," but it can be used by anyone who'd like to ensure private browsing.

SSH Tunnel is extremely simple to use. The entire app consists of one menu page, which itself is broken down into simple sections. You enter the server and port you want your device to connect with and the login information. Then you choose whether you want to use a SOCKS proxy or not, and finally which apps you want using the tunnel (or, if your phone is rooted, you can choose to make the tunnel system-wide). Once you do have SSH Tunnel set up with your preferences, you can save them as a named profile.

To get system-wide tunneling on a rooted phone, you only need to check two options in the app after entering the server information: "Use socks proxy" and "Global proxy." As long as the server you're trying to connect to is set up to receive SSH connections and is able to proxy them, that's all there is to it. The app just works.

With SSH tunneling, somebody in Europe can use a service like Pandora by tunneling through to a server in America. Flip it the other way, and an American could use a service like Spotify by tunneling to Europe.
