So son o'mine in Ireland at the moment, tried to watch the Teen Choice Awards 2009. I told him it was on Hulu and tv.com and some other website that I can't remember now.

Have you ever had to send a friend a large file and there was just no way to do it. Have you ever tried to send a file and your email serviced bounced it simply because of the type of file (the extension). I know I have ran into this quite a few times. I try and share a family video with a friend and its to large to email - to long for youtube. Yeah I have sent it over file sharing on Windows Live Messenger but there are times it could take hours. So what do you do? Well there are a number of services that will help you with that. Here

A "gravatar" is a Globally Recognized Avatar. It's an image that appears alongside your name when you post on blogs and forums etc. If you're an active participant in online discussions, get a gravatar and get recognized.

So have you ever been on vacation and maybe booked a hotel only to find they charge you for Wi-Fi? I mean you pay all this money for a nice room only to find that now they want you to cough up a extra $10. - 25. a day to get internet in your room. Well there is now a cool website that you can put in your address and it will tell you where the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot is:

Well this isn't really a computer tip but it's funny. We call everyone douchebags here at work (in a loving way).

Should networks here in the US be able to censor certain sites? Yes I can understand some - such as child porn ones or ones that out and out break the law but what about sites that don't. Well this past weekend AT&T did just that they blocked a site called 4chan. OK I'm a AT&T customer so I had to go looking to see if I was blocked but nope I could go on the site. It seems it was blocked but it was lifted late last night.
