Watch more TV online?

brad — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:50:32 +0000

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.

Free wifi at Starbucks?

brad — Sun, 11 May 2008 20:11:40 +0000

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.

Hack your wireless signal

Lifehacker had a post from freeantennas.com on how to boost your wireless signal using household products.Â Some reported gains of 100%, but others found gains of only 5%.Â 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.Â Might be worth a try (at your own risk).

Another cool product from Google – “Gears”

brad — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 14:23:28 +0000

Now you will be able to access your RSS feeds (and their content) while offline using Google Gears.Â 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.”
