Facebook photos for fun!

ByMike Moffit

Ask any college or high-school student and you’ll discover that online social networking sites like Facebook are so hot right now.
One of the great advantages of these sites sites is their ability to help old and new friends alike keep in touch. Especially useful on the site Facebook is the ability to upload and share an unlimited number of photos. This is a great way to show the world those mad snowboarding skills you’ve picked up lately or, perhaps more productively, to share study abroad travel adventures. Unfortunately, uploading dozens and dozens of digital photos using a web browser over a less-than-fantastic internet connection can be frustrating and time consuming. Enter Facebook Exporter for iPhoto.
This handy plug-in for the iPhoto export panel makes uploading photos from your iPhoto library or album into any of your Facebook albums infinitely easier and more Mac-like. You can even add photo descriptions and friend tags before uploading to the web -minimizing the number of times you need to load Facebook photos page-by-page in your web browser.
Of course, privacy and safety should always come first and Facebook has preference settings dedicated to keeping your information as private as you’d like.
Enjoy!

  • Avoid Accidental Damage! Why Protection Is Important

    With many schools and colleges back in session, we are seeing the usual and predicable spike in accidental damage repairs in our service facilities. It’s very important to remember that a dropped computer, one with a broken screen, or one with any type of liquid damage–no matter how new–has no warranty coverage.

    Small Dog has a ton of products to protect your Mac or iPod from impact and liquid damage. Keep in mind, though, that you still should avoid dropping your laptop or drinking anything near it. Here are my favorite protective products for Apple laptops.

    “Speck cases”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=speck are hard shells that are form-fitted for a precise and tight fit to your laptop. Available in many colors and textures, they are the best-selling and best-performing protection against impact damage.

    The second part of protecting your laptop is a well-padded laptop bag like “those from Timbuk2.”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=Timbuk2 These messenger-style laptop bags have lots of storage, look good, and provide great protection. If you prefer a sleeve-style laptop case, know that they provide less protection, but are still better than carrying around a naked computer. My favorite is the new “Hammerhead line,”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=hammerhead named for CEO Don Mayer’s bulldog.

    Jeremiah Johnson, assistant manager of the South Burlington store, likes the Incipio Feather line of cases, and has a review a little later in this issue of Best in Showroom.

    The third element of a good protection plan is a keyboard cover. “KB Covers”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=kb+cover makes a line of form-fitting super-thin plastic covers that’ll save your bacon if you spill a small amount of liquid on your keyboard. It only takes a drop of water to make it through your keyboard and onto complex (and very expensive) circuitry below. If you must drink near your laptop, you owe it to yourself to get a keyboard cover.

    If, despite your best efforts to protect your machine (or if you didn’t protect it), your computer is dropped or spilled in, it is best to discontinue use immediately to prevent more damage. A dropped computer should have its hard drive preemptively replaced in most cases, and a computer that’s been spilled in should have a thorough inspection by a good technician. Our Technical Service team can often revive a damaged computer for hundreds, or even over $1,000 less than the same repair at an Apple store.
