Per the link you show is displaying a generic favicon (a kind of blue globe), which is what Avant browser uses for 'website does not offer me an icon to use'. Your screen shot is different and shows generic icon for IE9 serving the same purpose.
Now what I remember Techspots icon to be - a slighlty stylised white T on a blue background (as used by Julio as his personal picture)
I am using Avant browser, which previously showed the T figure as I say. I have not changed even the version of that browser, but the favicon is gone since the general appearance of TechSpot changed some months ago.
Just to complicate matters, I loaded Firefox which showed in my favourites as I describe above a 'T'. Turned out a few moments later, that the T icon was clearly cached, because it changed to TS on a blue background. But if I use Firefox to display TechSpot, I see the TS icon in the tab header of the page. For some reason this does not get into the favourites
Then I added a new bookmark to firefox, directed to TechSpot. This did NOT gain a new icon of any description, just as Avant browser does not.

Doing my head in here, because I next used good 'ol IE7 which gives an icon just the same as Per demonstrates - a stylised IE icon, which again is the 'nothing better to use' icon as used in IE, but slightly different amongst different versions of IE 6,7,8,9 all differ slightly.
I respectfully inform you that TechSpot does have an icon as shown by Firefox (TS on a blue background), but it is not picked up by any version of IE nor by Avant (which I think uses many IE internal dlls).
May I suggest to Julio that the oldest possible standard for locating an icon on a website works best.
