Apple Mac Book

Posted by Info Spot N.Y.

New & Improved Mac Book Collection




New 13” Mac Book
New 15” Mac Book Pro





You’re probably wondering how the new Apple Mac books are performing after hearing so much hype about them. Watching high tech commercials about these laptops makes them seem almost unreal. Due to the previous launch failure of the Apple I phone being made up of an insufficient battery, societies expectation of Apple as an advanced technological company has dropped. Though this is true, it is time to regain all hope in the Apple Company!




The new Mac books are a total hit, and Apple has blown all other notebook computers out of the ballpark. I guarantee that purchasing this laptop will be money well spent. You might be tempted to buy a Dell (computer or notebook) the XPS or Inspiron which poses a slighter financial burden, ranging in the ballpark between $599- $1300 but in the long run, buying a computer such as a Dell, will have you paying equal to or over the amount of an Apple, due to the many warranties you will be forced to purchase. When investing in a Mac Book you will pay $250 for warranty, that of which is less than Dell’s warranty, and will leave the store happier and full of advantages that your new computer has to offer. When having trouble with your Dell, you set up an appointment and can sometimes end up waiting up to 10 days or longer for the company to replace or fix the non-functioning part. When experiencing trouble with your Apple you have the convenience of going down to your local Apple store and have them fix or replace the malfunctioning parts. In some cases you may even receive a brand new one! Companies like Dell, are not so generous in keeping their costumers happy, and will not repair and or replace computers in the way that Apple does. When purchasing a Mac you also get the advantage of a simple operating system unlike an operating system like Vista or Xp. You can even download a program called Fusion, and have both the Mac and Windows XP operating systems on your desktop. You can ultimately have the best of both worlds!




If I haven’t proved my point yet, lets go on to compare the batteries on Apple’s and Dells computers. The Mac Book Pro gives you the ultimate Mac experience with a more energy efficient battery that will last longer and comes with a graphic card which creating amazing resolution. What’s the difference between the Mac book Pro and the Mac Book? Not much other than the fact that the Mac Book Pro has an even greater energy drive. It gives you the most powerful drive available, more GHz, more hard drive and all around improvement. All Apple notebooks and desktops are by far the most high tech and easy to use machines out there today and the computers that you should be buying today!

Add a Favicon to Blogger

Posted by Info Spot N.Y.



The "Secret" Way to Add a Favicon to Blogger


What is a Favicon? Favicon stands for "Favorites Icon". It's the little icon beside your site's name in the favorites list, before the URL in the address bar, as a bookmarked website on the desktop, in the "Links" bar and on the windows taskbar.


I know that many of you have probably gone from site to site trying to figure out how to add a Favicon to you Blogger, however NONE have actually succeeded.


Only here on InfoSpotNY.com
will you get all the answers you’ve been looking for, and more!

Here is a simple way on how to add cool Favicon icons to your blog:

Before




- You can either create the favicon size by hand, which needs to be 16 x 16 pixels and saved under a '.ico' format. I used http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ this site does all that for you. All you need to do is upload the image you want and select create (
Supported file formats: gif, jpg, png, and bmp).


- A pop up should appear in which you should save the image to your computer.


You now need to get a hold of a website which will host your images for free (a couple of free hosts: Imageshack.us, google- page creator, ripway.com)

- Now you will need to do some updates to your templates in order to get your favicon to show up. This part might get tricky, so if you need any additional help please don’t be afraid to ask.


To edit your Blogger templates:


Login and go to “Layout” then select “Edit HTML”. Now you will need to add the following line of HTML between the start and end tag:




<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico
/>


<link rel="icon" href="http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico"
/>





 - Replace "http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico"
with the URL that the site which hosted your favicon image (free web image hoster) stored your .ico file, and paste the code between the head tags of your blog. The favicon will now appear in most browsers address bar and bookmarks.


If you followed all the steps your final result should look like this:

Sony Vaio Zoom

Posted by Info Spot N.Y.

The Next Big Idea By Sony












Wow this would look great in any ones room, but unfortunately it's just a concept. The big Japanese consumer electronics, Sony has introduced this futuristic looking laptop called the VAIO Zoom. This Laptop is razor thin like the Mac book Air, but yet very different. You might think it has a nice clear stand……… but that’s NOT a stand: that’s a holographic touch screen.




This computer doesn’t sound realistic for the next several years, but when it does come out it seems sure to have a bunch of glitches. Additionally, it doesn’t seem to have USB ports (What is that going to be holographic too). What happens if you scratch the screen (the computer goes down?). Lastly, there doesn't seem to have built in speakers (how are you going to listen to the great music provided by www.infospotny.com) In any case, it’s almost certain that many consumers would like to see a high-tech/ modern looking laptop like this in the future.
