The Webpage Page

Thursday, March 25, 2010 7:30 PM | Posted by Mina Drezner

Isn’t it great when you feel that you have a complete package of stuff. A huge combo where all your needs have a way to be filled. The upmost satisfaction of having IT. Well maybe this may not fulfill all of your requirements but it at least will fill a vast amount of blank spots. Imagine having the IT pages in a single page, not only is it possible but it is a reality now.

Nevertheless there are some negatives in this Oh! So marvelous page. The deficient part is the plus itself. It has all in one, meaning plenty of search and opening new tabs to find the page you were anxiously expecting. So even though it can find the solution to several web page finding issues the task of actually finding them could be long. Not as long as finding them using a massive search engine such as Google but still, very slow.

The page itself does not look very professional, but again it is only a list. Don’t judge a book by it cover, for the selection of pages is very good. It even lists blogs of interest for those who might like to dig deeper into the “blogging industry.”

Among several of the categorized lists you can find videos, pages, blogs, engines, etc. The page gives possibilities, and passways that may result helpful.

Enjoy!

Basic Summary:
Grade: B
Information: Efficient
Recommended: Yes
Conditions: Don’t look only at its “prettiness” look deeper. It can take some time finding the desired page.

Eww: IPad

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 3:20 PM | Posted by Mina Drezner

IPad, makes you wonder, what the hell is happening to the technology world? The new Apple release consists of an immense Itouch IPod, which was inconveniently named an IPad. Leaving the mayor naming mistake aside, one can find several things that don’t make sense. For starters, why buy a maxi Itouch for the price of 500$ when you can just waste your money in any other useless tool? This device, does offer a somewhat of an “advanced” Itouch revolution, yet it is not 500$ worth of advances. The concept could be good but the execution is poor, the light design and good confection of the device does not prove anything as far as functioning.

First Error: The design. Who in the world would like to type looking downward and not have the freedom of moving the screen and the keyboard separate ways.

Second Error: The lack of freedom. Not only does the MaxiPad device have almost the exact same functions as the regular Itouch, but it limits the browser to the predetermined one, goodbye options. You might Jailbreak it, but how long till such genius shortcut is invented. Not friendly at all. Word, Photobooth, and other sweet options that regular MACs offer are not included in this release. For users that are into business and school, If I where you, I would get myself a more complete gadget.

Third Error: Sucks that besides paying 500$ you might also spend the same amount for adapters and cables for you to use on the “computer”. How much of a failure can it be, that it doesn’t even have a USB port.

Fourth Error: People do many things at once: Scratch that, you may not multitask with IPad.

Fifth Error: Clean hands. It is basic hygiene for us to have clean hands, but first time users of the IPad said that even after the first use the screen was filled with finger prints. If something as simple and un-harmful as fingerprints makes the device dirty imagine keeping it clean.

Touch screen items might seem cool, but as a touch user I found out that if you use it a lot the sensor may loose its “power”. I am not saying that this applies for this item but as a user of a touch device with this malfunction, I can offer this warning.

2 words: Screw it! Save yourself from a mayor burden and buy something useful.

Basic Summary:
Grade: F
Information: Sucks
Recommended: Nope
Conditions: Don’t Buy it!
Where: MAC stores

How Stuff Works?

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 6:00 PM | Posted by Mina Drezner
Last year, science class was a painful torture, even though I could register everything that was being said I really didn’t understand anything, I memorized. From that point on I have sorted out that if you understand what is being said you do better and the information can be useful. My tool for surviving science was an Internet program, yeah shocker, right? Not only does this website range from the most vast to the most specific topics, but it offers different explanations if one isn’t good enough. The miracle worker I am talking about is howstuffworks.com

How does it work? The main page works like a search engine, and its layout resembles a news web page. Its displays featured searches, pictures, puzzles, quizzes, a random zone, daily polls and trivia, quotes, etc. There are several ways you can go around the page, even though it is very self explanatory. Categories are displayed and you can choose one of those. Nevertheless, I find if more simple if you just type in some key words of what you want to understand. Videos will appear as options and some even have images that could help for further understanding, click on the video you want to see and enjoy.

A world of endless possibilities and input ideas. The good thing about the website is that it works for school purposes or you could just search stuff you want to know out of pure curiosity.

Life is easier when you understand how stuff works!

Basic Summary:
Grade: B+
Information: Great
Recommended: Yes
Conditions: Don’t get desperate if the first option does not work, try again!

Pimp My Blog

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 1:58 PM | Posted by Mina Drezner
Dear reader I have found a way to torturing you into reading my blog and following it. My friends keep asking me how did I “Pimp my blog”, there isn’t really a secret, just follow the simple following steps.

Go into Google, or any search engine you have in your computer and search for free blogger templates, in the search list you will find several pages from which you can easily download free templates into your computer. Pick wisely because once you have the template you must like EVERYTHING about it, because even though it may look very good the downloaded templates are not as flexible and simple as predetermined Blogger templates.

Once you know where the file is, click on it and export the icon that has a small earth on it as shown in the picture bellow, if the icon itself looks like this then no problem. How do you export it? Click on the icon that looks like a pile of books and left click on the “earth icon”, then select the export option. Again refer to the image bellow for more understanding.

Once this is done go to your blogger dashboard and click on layout of the blog you want to edit. There click on the “edit HTML” tab and upload your file on the option bellow (upload the file with the cute earth picture). Press upload. Once you do that a warning might appear that asks you if you want to “Keep Widgets”, DO keep them.

If you would like to change it to another downloaded file repeat the process, if not just select pick a new template and you can go back to the old Blogger one.

Hope it helped (:
