I’m sure everyone has heard of hulu.com by now, I use it frequently and even stream it to my PS3 using Playon. But I found another site – TV Gorge – that has even more shows, although I can’t figure out how it’s legit.

Pretty interesting thoughts on artificial intelligence and the growth of computing.

One from IBM at Alphaworks.

Another one that is the period table of visualization – pretty slick.

A new site that creates a treemap off of Google News data. Pretty Slick. One of several cool projects from Marcos Weskamp.

AT&T just started offering free wifi at their hotspots to iPhone users. That’s great if you have an iPhone, but if you don’t there might be a way to get it anyway. Lifehacker had a good post (via Gizmodo) on how to trick the wifi into thinking you were using an iPhone. It doesn’t seem too complicated, but I haven’t tried it yet.

Lifehacker had a post from freeantennas.com on how to boost your wireless signal using household products.  Some reported gains of 100%, but others found gains of only 5%.  But of more interest is a link to another post that shows you how to change your router from a $60 to a $600 one by hacking the firmware.  Might be worth a try (at your own risk).

Straight from Mashable (they are on a roll with great posts).  They have a list of plug-ins to Firefox that will enable you to easily download movies, pictures, and other files.  Lots of good ones here.

I read a post at digg.com recently that detailed out 100+ ways to make money online.  They caveat it with morality and ethics for some, but nevertheless it has a lot of legal, morale methods to generate cash flow.

Now you will be able to access your RSS feeds (and their content) while offline using Google Gears.  Lifehacker posted a synopsis of the new capability from Google: “an application that lets web sites store their data on your local computer using only your web browser. Google Reader is already supported – read your feeds on the plane! – and word on the street is that Gmail and Google Docs is to come.”

Posted on Digg, a page that lists a number of very useful javascript links for developers to include on their sites. Includes image loading and fading, dynamic data tables, calendars, thumbnails, and autocomplete.
