Now this hour*s Geek Speak where we take a tech term and turn it into plain English before your very ears is Hotspot, Hotspot got to aware another myth for that, no. A Hotspot is an area of a graphic or a webpage where you can make something happen by either rolling your mouse over the area or by clicking on it. The rest of the page not a Hotspot, doesn*t do that. As an example if your company has offices in New York, Chicago, Washington DC, San Francisco but not any other city you could create a webpage with a map of United States with New York, Illinois, DC, and California darkened and the rest white. Then through HTML code you set the webpage only to do something if the users mouth or click occurs over those 4 states, yes I know Washington DC is a district. The rest of the map I mentioned them all because that*s what will happen, I will start getting E-mail going Washington DC is not a state I just wanted to let you know that. Rest of the map white doesn*t do anything when the mouse is over it nothing happens maybe when you roll your mouse over California or Illinois, the address popups and you can do that all through HTML code that*s called a Hotspot. Now another definition of a Hotspot is an area where you can get Wi-Fi you know Barners & Noble, Borders, Starbucks, a lot of McDonalds, Libraries, the Airports. These are all place where if you open up your laptop or you take out your PDA and you try to connect up to the Internet via Wi-Fi, boom there it is you are in a Hotspot. And in the old days Hotspot meant a place that have been infected with radiation so thankfully that*s change, but that is this hour is Geek Speak.
