Apple Mac Book

2008-10-31T11:40:00.001-07:00

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

2008-10-21T16:15:00.000-07:00

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:

- 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

2008-08-15T00:27:00.000-07:00

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.

Apple Mac

“Apple has never been so Sweet”

Summer is still is in full swing and time flies when your having fun!!! But school is creeping in fast so don’t get caught at the last minute trying to find that perfect laptop. Apple is having a great offer from NOW until September 15: buy any macbook and get either a free I-pod nano or an i-touch FREE!!! If you’re a student or teacher, this is just for you. http://www.apple.com/backtoschool

MacBook: $999- you can save up to $100

MacBook Air: $1700- save $230

MacBook Pro: $1800- save up to $200

Here comes the big question… Why chose Apple laptops?

You can Run Office and Windows.

No matter what school has to throw at you mac can handle it, even if it's a different platform. Programs like Microsoft Office works great on the Mac.

Lets all thank Boot Camp, because it enabled the Mac to run Windows XP and Vista as if it were a PC. And much more……….

It has a Built in Wi-Fi

Look mommy, no wires ( I mean no hands)!!.

Since Wi-Fi is built into each Mac we are able to be on the go. From the library to the lecture hall to the starbucks, you are able to connect with any Mac- or PC-based network. Just click, connect and surf the web, send email, video chat, and much more.

Additionally, you can connect your printer and print documents wirelessly. WOW!!

Organization is a key to success.

Mac has many features that can make college life much easier and more organized. iCal gives you the ability to keep your academic and social calendar straight. It also has Address Book which can help you save all those important contacts like family, friends, people who write essays for you…….

look through your research papers with Quick Look and Cover Flow and back up your work with Time Machine.

Photos, music, and more.

Share college life with your friends and family back home. It’s easy with iLife, the amazing software suite included with every Mac. Organize your digital photos with iPhoto so you can create slick photo books or slideshows. Import your videos and edit them into a movie in iMovie. Create a podcast, website, or blog with iWeb. And compose a song in GarageBand. With iLife, remember college really is the best time of your life so why not capture it and have it stored forever!!!

Easy video chat.

Every Mac notebook and iMac comes with iChat, a built-in iSight camera, and an instant cure for homesickness. Whenever you need to see a familiar face, just video chat with your friends and family back home. You can connect with up to three other people at once.

For those couples who are trying to save their relationship because they have movedon to different school, this is a must. You can see your lovers beautiful face as if they were in the same room as you. This can be a big help in the long distance relationships.

Apple education discount.

Finally getting some rewards from education!!.

College students, faculty, and staff members can get a free iPod with a purchase of a new Mac, but they must buy before September 15.

Advanced yet simple to use, that’s what a Mac is all about.

If you’re a student, go for the MacBook. Don’t forget the I-pod that comes free with your purchase… So take advantage of the money your parents gave you to spend for school supplies.

EXilim is an EXcellent choice

These days its all about memories and the best way to cherish them is to

“Snap them”...

How do you know which camera to get?!!

3 basic points will make your life easier to find a great an affordable camera:

1. Resolution: The better quality of the picture… to choose the resolution is based on how big the resolution number is but that also means the higher the price…

iPhone 3G Review

2008-07-21T19:48:00.000-07:00

iPhone 3G is an iDont @ InfoSpotNY

I, Fredie, have been an iPhone fanatic ever since it was released last year. July 10, I was one of the first people to purchase the iPhone (#88) on the first day it was released. I came with great enthusiasm and I had a great time being interviewed from news channels from all around the world. But if we get down to the bottom line, the only good thing that came out of waiting for the iphone is that you can sell it on Ebay for triple the price. The GPS-a that it comes with is great, but only if you’re not moving very quickly, because then it will take a while for it to get your exact location.

The 3G is lightning quick, but for some reason I have no service in a lot of places where the old iphone had. My recommendation is to keep your first generation iPhone and upgrade to 2.0. On a better note, congratulations to the dev team for releasing Pwnage Tool 2.0, which successfully jailbroke 2.0 on the 3G phone. They still haven’t unlocked it for different service carriers but they said it will be released in a few weeks. Coming in a few weeks I will release the top 5 must have phones so far in 2008.

A MUST Know For Men!!!

2008-07-18T13:07:00.000-07:00

I GOT 99 PROBLEMS AND A B**** IS ONE!!!

Don’t you ever want to know the secrets of attracting women, talking to them, keeping them interested and making them laugh...? Most importantly don’t you want to keep them coming back for more? Well fellas and future playas, it’s not a secret anymore! Don’t be discouraged if you’re not the best looking guy around…Or got that 8 pack (we’re not talking about beer) or the all talked about “V” on the bottom of your stomach... The truth of the matter is that looks don’t mean SHIT! Of course, looks will get your “foot in the door” but what comes out of your mouth determines it all. Women want someone interesting and not just a good looking slab of meat. Here, for the first time, InfoSpot is giving you guys the 411 on the do’s and don’ts of going up to a sophisticated woman and actually getting her attention. Our 6 GOLDEN rules which have been researched by specialists and tested by many are being brought to you, exclusively, by infoSpotNY…

1) Hygiene:

a) Men must take showers, stock up on deodorants and apply them regardless of how you think you smell (preferably Mitchem Gel).

Fact: you will never know when you smell bad, UNLESS you reek!

b) Warning regarding colon- DO NOT drench yourself in it. Colon smells differently on each person, so choose a smell that best compliments your body.

i) Top 3 colons under $80: Polo Black by Ralph Lauren, Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani, Le Male by Jean Paul Gautier.

c) Kill bad breath by frequently using mints, mouthwash and gum. Having fresh breath is a MUST…no excuses.

2) Lips:

a) We put it in its own category because its that important

b) Keep your lips moisturized and not feeling chapped

3) Teeth:

a) The most important category we will discuss!

b) The first thing people see, in particular women, is your teeth/smile.

c) Your teeth/smile can overshadow your self-consciousness about your looks because teeth/smile gives people a perception of a more confident and better looking you.

d) There are two major ways of transforming your smile quickly from zero to hero!

i) One hour chair side whitening systems like zoom and sapphire can change your yellowish dual colored teeth to shinny whiter teeth!

ii) The more expensive and most life changing way is to get veneers (Lumineers- what all the celebrities have…… if the teeth shine and are beautiful 90 percent that they have veneers on). It looks as close to a real tooth as possible. Not only are you changing the color of the tooth, but here you are changing the shape of it. This is will not make you look younger/ better looking but it will give you so much more confidence to be yourself. Because after all no one wants a faker, they all want the real you. So why not make a statement when you walk into a room with a smile that will light up the place.

http://www.bensonhurstdentalcare.com/Cosmetic_Dentistry.htm

Speaking of looking homeless, make sure you have your hair and nails in shape! No girls want a man with ugly/ dirty fingernails, and a messy head of hair. Clean yourselves up! And…use moisturizer! When you go on dates with girls, the first thing you do is... hold her hand. Girls don’t want to hold your sand paper hands.. Use moisturizer, and get manicures for your nails! There’s nothing wrong with men getting their nails cleaned up!

(He got the messy hair and the I don’t care look...but definitely not the look you want)

When getting ready to go out, make sure you dress for the occasion! When going out to the movies or a diner, Jeans, a cute/ vintage Tee, and sneakers is appropriate. When going out to a bar or a nice dinner in the city, you can go for one of these few looks- jeans, with a vintage tee, dress sneakers and a blazer, jeans with a dress shirt, and dress shoes, or jeans with dress shirt, blazer and cool sneakers.

Remember guys, you want to look chic, and cool, not like your dates grandfather... But don’t overdo the look either... If you want to get that KISS at t he end of the night... follow all of our rules and the rules you learned in school when writing papers...

- KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID! (KISS)

Oral Cancer Screening

2008-07-14T15:07:00.000-07:00

Oral Cancer Screening

Simple device for the direct visualization of oral-cavity tissue fluorescence

InfoSpotNY explains how early identification of high-risk disease could greatly reduce both mortality and morbidity due to oral cancer. We describe a simple handheld device that facilitates the direct visualization of oral-cavity fluorescence for the detection of high-risk precancerous and early cancerous lesions. Blue excitation light (400 to 460 nm) is employed to excite green-red fluorescence from fluorophores in the oral tissues. Tissue fluorescence is viewed directly along an optical axis collinear with the axis of excitation to reduce inter- and intraoperator variability. This robust, field-of-view device enables the direct visualization of fluorescence in the context of surrounding normal tissue. Results from a pilot study of 44 patients are presented. Using histology as the gold standard, the device achieves a sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 100% when discriminating normal mucosa from severe dysplasia/carcinoma in situ (CIS) or invasive carcinoma. We envisage this device as a suitable adjunct for oral cancer screening, biopsy guidance, and margin delineation.
