I did a similar thing once. The Sears website has a 'see all' button at the top. Click on it, then click on the facebook link. (Or perhaps YouTube, or Twitter.) from there you can get anywhere on the web.

That looks like a laptop computer

Heh, all right. I'll look into it myself too if I ever make it down to the local Sears.

@KioskHacking Thanks for the help. I've been searching for quite some time. I have skyfire and stock Opera. However, I'm not so sure I trust Skyfire, it's all done through proxies( and you cannot get Hulu because of this. ) i'll have do look for the hacked Opera.

@Chewytube1 (continued 2/2) as far as the core OS (Windows CE) which isn't so "app friendly" there isn't any apps nor is there any plugins (that I know of) that allows for this. I'm pretty sure I'm wrong and that there's an web browser that allows that. But the only place I've seen that done was on devices made by manufacturers that take the core OS and tweak it for the device itself for functionality. So your best bet is to find an "hacked" app that came from an OEM. Try Google. =S

@Chewytube1 For the "Windows Mobile" version of CE (Note: this is my personal Windows Mobile smartphone I'm basing this off of) I've used SkyFire app for FULL web browsing flash, and I've used an Hacked version of Opera Mobile 9.5 for WinMo from XDA that allows full flash content. Also, on HTC phones they include an app called "HTC Streaming Media" which executes itself when you click on a video link (On YouTube's WAP site) within Windows Mobile's web browser(s). (continued) 1/2
The next time you're there, find a way to get back to the desktop (try hitting the "Windows" key, or "ALT+F4" or somethin') and fix the resolution. Why would they even bother to put expensive monitors in there and not even set them up with the right resolution?

@2BunnyReturns haha I'll be sure to see if I can make it to Control Panel next time.

All of the kiosks in Sears I've been in had Wyse slim terms w/ WinXP Embedded or WinCE. They used RDP to get to a server, presumably out of the store.

@Chewytube1 Yeah I've been actually logged into the RDP quite a FEW times on several occasions (some careless employees forgot to log out.) I was confused when I first saw this because I knew it was Windows XP but the desktop was obviously a Windows 2000 desktop which led to to the conclusion that it was RDP. Sears uses Windows 2000 Server Edition in a RDP terminal to run alternate Point-Of-Sale apps for employees outside of the locked down Windows XP Embedded "kiosk-mode" environment.
