* For Windows Vista and Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 9

Internet Explorer 9 has built feature called activex filtering. This feature disables features like Flash and Java.  First, enable ActiveX Filtering via the Tools Menu:

Tools > Safety > ActiveX Filtering

When you visit a webpage that contains ActiveX controls, IE will prevent the controls from loading. IE displays an icon in the address bar to indicate that the ActiveX controls have been filtered:

If you visit a webpage that contains ActiveX content you want to view, you can simply turn off filtering for that website. Click the icon to display the fly-out window.

From here you can choose to turn off ActiveX Filtering. Once you take action, IE refreshes the page to ensure that all ActiveX content on the webpage runs. Now that you’ve turned off ActiveX Filtering for the webpage, the icon on the address bar changes state accordingly. After you’ve finished viewing the content, you can click on the icon and turn filtering back on if you’d like, or you can leave filtering off for this website.

The Alliance for Downtown New York will host a MulchFest and Electronic Waste Recycling Event to help New Yorkers avoid a post-holiday headache by collecting holiday trees and unwanted electronic goods on Saturday, January 7, 2012.

The event – run in conjunction with the New York City Departments of Parks and Recreation and Sanitation and the Lower East Side Ecology Center – will take place at the south end of Bowling Green Park starting at 10 AM. Free hot apple cider, light snacks and recycling bags will be given away.

Date:           Saturday, January 7, 2012

The New York City Department of Parks & Recreation is recommending that anyone planning to drop off a tree remove all lights and ornaments before bringing them to the MulchFest site.

The Downtown Alliance will once again run a Chip Trip, a special Downtown Connection bus that will stop only at major residential hubs: three stops in Battery Park City and three stops on the east side of the district. The Chip Trip bus will be clearly labeled and will run its route every half hour. Residents can board the Chip Trip bus with a tree and the bus will transport them to Bowling Green.

The locations are:

• The corner of Wall and William Streets
• The corner of John and Gold Streets
• Pearl Street between Fulton Street and Beekman Street
• West Thames Street between Battery Place and South End Avenue
• The corner of South End Avenue and Albany Street
  

The event is cosponsored by the New York City Department of Sanitation, the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, Con Edison, FiDi Association, Whole Foods, Crumbs, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, New York City Council Member Margaret Chin, and Community Board 1.

The Lower East Side Ecology Center and Tekserve are hosting the electronic waste event. Items that will be accepted are: working and non-working computers, monitors, printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, cables, televisions, videocassette recorders, DVD players, phones, audio/visual equipment, cell phones and personal digital assistants. For more details or for questions about items that can be accepted at the event, please visit www.lesecologycenter.orgor call (212) 477-4022.

Just like flat screen televisions all laptop LCD screens are not built the same. To make it simple to understand the higher quality screens can show more colors (versus a washed out look) and can be viewed from different angles (versus getting darker).

We have worked with many laptop LCD suppliers over the years. For the past 6 months we have been purchasing screens from two suppliers that have reliably made us and our clients very happy. They provide brand name high quality LCDs, securely packed and deliver on time. They even provide next day overnight delivery for only $30 more. The average price of a screen is $70 to $125 plus shipping. We are usually able to purchase an exact match or newer revision of the original screen. High quality screen suppliers plus the expert technicians at b4computers are a winning combination that can’t be beat.

With this announcement we are also providing a discount on the service to install the screens. Till the end of January 2012 we are offering $25 off the usual $75 service charge.
