One of the great things about my trip to New York was being able to watch a bunch of programs on Hulu. Hulu is a great service available in the US that lets you watch current programs over the Internet. There are a bunch of great shows on offer like House, Lost, Dollhouse and other shows not yet shown in Australia like Modern Family.

Unfortunately when I got back to Australia, licensing rules and IP addresses stopped me.

Dropbox also gives you internet access to all your files, so you can access them from anywhere with an internet connection.

Features include – Sync files across your computers effortlessly – Access files via the Internet – Dropbox comes with 2GB free storage – Refer friends for an extra 250MB per referral – Upgrade to 50GM for only $9.99/month or 100GB for $19.99/month – Share folders with friends or co-workers – iPhone App now available

I bought a 4G Eee PC for my Mum for $299AUD last week thanks to a tip on the Lifehacker website,
Windows XP Eee PC being sold off for $299.  My mum was complaining that on her recent trip to Europe, there was Wi-Fi everywhere but she had no laptop to connect.  I had originally thought about a more “traditional” laptop around the $1,000 mark, but changed my mind when I read more about the Eee PC.

Just got the Eee PC. Have a few days to play before passing on to rightful owner!  Yah!
