How do I edit the icon files?

How do I edit the icon files?
The .ico files have been created using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and the free icon plugin from Sib Code. The plugin allows you to create multi-image icons so that you can have a different icon for each size. I'm using Vista at the moment so I created the multi-image icon set for Vista. This includes the sizes 256x256, 48x48, 32x32 and 16x16. I'll make another set for XP and the 8bit and 4bit color sets later on. There is an awesome guide to creating Vista and XP icons here on the Microsoft site. It contains all the information you need to know. Here are the steps to create a multi image icon:

I hand traced the image in Flash from various screenshots, mainly the SGA screensaver shown in a few episodes.
I then exported it as a PNG image and then opened it in Photoshop.
I added a layer drop shadow to it using the recommended settings from the MS guide.
I then saved the initial .ico file in 32bit with PNG compression.
The next step is to resize the image and adjust the drop shadow.
Now save as an ico file again but pick the one you made previously. In the popup window choose Advanced and then place a tick next to each of the other icon sizes you've previously saved. This will mean they don't get erased when you save the current image to the file.
Repeat the last two steps for the other image sizes/bit depths
That's it, you should now have a multi-image multi-bit depth icon file

What laptop do they use in the show?

What laptop do they use in the show?
I think they use a Dell Inspiron 8500. I five fingered a bunch of screenshots of this particular laptop model which you can see here. You can compare them to various show laptop screenshots in the concept art section. I based most of my hunch off the Communications section.
