Tips for Finding Images for Skins

Mark — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:49:54 +0000

Ever thought about looking online for skins for laptops or another device? Here’s a couple tips to help get you started;

Visit a page like Google Images and look for the image you were thinking to use for a skin.

Change the results to show “Extra Large” and look for images 1,000 Kb (which is 1 MB) or larger. You can find so many images for skins this way.

Remember:

Larger devices like laptops, netbooks, xbox, playstation or Wii should use images 1 MB or larger in file size.

Devices closer to size of a cell phone, PSP, ipod, MP3 player, Nintendo DS Lite, or similar size can use images that are 500 Kb or larger.

Use images with less than recommend file size would probably produce skins that could be disappointing due to unclear or pixelated images.

Netbook Skins

If you’re not familiar with them, netbooks are smaller laptops which are less powerful but much more affordable. Usually about a 9 or 10 inch screen, they’re great for simple tasks like surfing the web, writing, or checking email. Some people find them ideal, but it really depends on your computing needs.

Applying any kind of netbook skins would follow the same application principles as for a laptop. If designing your own it should be 200 pixels per inch. The file size should be close to 1 MB for a sharper resolution. Netbook skins are the perfect companion to a mini notebook, giving it a unique look of its own.

New Xbox Rumors

Mark — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:16:06 +0000

This sounds kinda crazy, but the next Xbox 360 won’t be out in 2010 because Microsoft is going to wait for 3D-capable TVs. Their plan is to wait until such TVs become more commonplace and launch a stereoscopic 3D console at that time. I sure hope its backwards compatible, because sales probably won’t be so hot if you need the right TV to use the latest Xbox…

Notebook Skins

Mark — Thu, 28 May 2009 22:19:16 +0000

Notebook skins are essentially vinyl adhesive stickers that can be used to protect your notebook computer. The notebook skins are great for hiding or protecting from scratches, and can be easily removed without having any sticky residue left afterwards.

Applying notebook skins only takes a minute and looks great. Wipe down the part of your notebook the skin will be places on with an alcohol swab to remove any oily prints or dirt you can’t see. Then align the skin, peel off half the backing, and stick. If it looks straight, remove the remainder and press on. Notebook skins can last for months and will keep your laptop looking like new.
