From Infosthetics:
The latest contestant in this search for the best visualization
designer (or should I say, the next employee?) is Google, who,
together with Eyebeam, just announced their profound interest in both
federal tax numbers as well as interactive bubble graphs
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.
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.
