Hulu, (or OpenHulu) NBC and CBS are blocking users outside US to view their video content. That means, you cannot watch the full episode of CSI, Simpsons, Family Guy, etc if you live outside US. The player will say, “It is not available to your country”. But, there is a fix. Hotspot Shield from AnchorFree can make yourself to live US, virtually. After installation, those video sites will think you live in US and be able to play the full episode of video.

Hotspot Shield is available for Windows and Mac OS X. Note you will see advertisements on the top of every single webpage once connected. But I think this is really acceptable since it is free and costs $0. Test after the break.
Here is a little test of Hotspot Shield. I used 6Mbps ADSL connection in China. The speed is fast. The videos play smoothly. I have visited OpenHulu, CBS, NBC and ABC. I cannot view videos of ABC only. More surprisingly, some of the US-only restricted channel of Joost is now playable. For example, MTV of Joost can only be viewed in US (Not that MTV Staying alive channel), but now with Hotspot Shield, you can watch those cool programs.

You may have heard of Facebook Fan Pages–they are also referred to as “business pages” or “public pages.”

To give you some explanation of what these are, a Fan Page is just a public profile that allows you to share information about your services or products with other Facebook users.  Facebook has two different kinds of profiles—personal profiles and public, aka Fan Page profiles.

So, why are there two different kinds of profiles?  Well, Facebook states pretty clearly in their terms of service that a person is only allowed to have one personal profile and that it must be in a person’s first and last name only.  For example, “Christine Gallagher.” Facebook has actually been known to disable people’s accounts if they’re named anything other than your full name or if you are using it to represent your business.  So instead of using your personal profile for business, you can just use a Fan Page.

Let’s talk a bit about the benefits of using a Fan Page for your business over a personal profile.

First and foremost, Fan Pages are public. What this means is that in order for people to see your Page, they don’t have to login to Facebook or be your “friend” to have access to it—there’s no barrier there to keep from drawing people in. Pages are actually the only part of Facebook that are totally public. This is also great because the search engines are able to see and index Fan Pages.

This is important because Facebook is currently the #2 site on the entire Internet, so you can benefit from that high search engine ranking by having a Page. In other words, because Facebook ranks so highly, your business has a good chance of ranking highly.

Second, personal profiles have a limit of 5000 friends—although Facebook has said several times they are going to raise that limit, they haven’t yet. Now, that might seem like a really high number to you right now, but if you think about continuing to build your business on Facebook, reaching that number is actually not all that unrealistic. In comparison, Fan Pages allow you to have an unlimited number of Fans.

Third, you’re able to send a message—or as they’re called, “Updates”–to all of your Fans at one time, no matter how many you have. With personal profiles, Facebook only lets you message a small number of friends at a time–last I checked it was somewhere around 30 or 40 at once.

Lastly, there are a lot of people who use Facebook personal profiles for just that—personal. They might be using it for staying in touch with friends and family and may have NO interest in ever buying from you—plus, not everyone friends people they don’t know on Facebook. With Fan Pages, people who become a “fan” of your Page are expressly saying they want to find out more about your business, not just you the individual. They have shown their interest by “opting in” as it were.

So, you have a new mac laptop or computer and you been doing tons of downloads and work on it and it start running slow. Darn, what happened, this is a new computer? I can tell u some stuff that might apply to you. Here are the tips below, but please… remember this, please backup your computer before you start.

1. Find CPU and memory hogs in the Activity Monitor. Go to Applications > Utilities and see which apps are hogging your CPU. Quitting and restarting those apps can provide quick relief.
2. Clean up your startup. Too many programs starting up when log onto your Mac? Go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items tab. If you see an app there that you don’t need and use, select it and click the minus (-) sign.
3. Uninstall unneeded apps (and related files). Trash anything in your Applications folder that you don’t need or use any longer. Ideally, you’ll use an uninstaller program to do this. It won’t make your Mac run faster, but it’ll free up some space.
4. Do some maintenance. Run Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities) to verify and repair disk permissions and the disk itself.
5. Reclaim hard-drive space. Need to figure out what’s taking up all that space on your Mac? Trapani recommends a tool called Disk Inventory X that creates a tree map of your hard-drive usage.
6. Care for/troubleshoot your battery and memory. On a Mac notebook, calibrate your battery to make sure it’s giving you the right readings. If the battery bails before you get a “You’re running out of power” warning, reset the SMC or PMU. And some problems can be solved by resetting your Mac’s PRAM and NVRAM.
7. Beef up your memory, and get the latest system updates. The more memory your Mac has, the happier (and snappier) it’ll be, so think about upgrading. And stay up-to-date with OS X patches and versions.

It has been announced that Avid has bought Euphonix. As you probably know, Euphonix is a manufacturer of control surfaces on both the high- and the low-end of the spectrum. Not only that, they are – ahem! were! – part of Apple’s trinity together with Apogee and Apple themselves.

I don’t know about you, but for me this came out of the blue. I’m still trying to wrap my head around what all this means in the long run, trying to see beyond the press releases and gossip on the web.

Aggressive tactics: Is there anyone who don’t think it’s more than a little aggressive of Avid to simply buy one part of the Apple trinity? This should really decimate the Native alliance. I mean, the Euphonix Artist series has gotten a lot of attention since its release and what used to be advertised as the perfect complement to Logic is now residing in Pro Tools land.

Pro Tools integration: I think there’s little doubt that proper Pro Tools integration will be implemented. What’s funny is that the artist series to some extent actually has better integration than the low-end Digidesign control surfaces! I wouldn’t say overall, but they do things that the Pro Tools controllers don’t. I really hope Avid has the good taste to actually implement these as well in their new protocol and not intentionally cripple low-end users.

Open standard protocol: Avid says a new “open standard protocol” will be created. What does this mean exactly? Something to get rid of the years old HUI? Often when I talk to companies that build control surfaces they say that they support HUI for Pro Tools. Are we finally getting something better? And is Avid hoping that companies such as Steinberg and Apple will use it? Sounds good, but remember that creating a new open standard isn’t easy. More often than not, it seems like the case is that a number of companies try to create an open standard and we end up with a mish-mash of “standards”. I still can’t believe Dave Smith managed to get everyone to agree on MIDI. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if this “open” standard protocol is for Avid products only.

Third-party support: So what will happen to users of, say, Logic? From what I understand, Avid will continue to support it. They don’t say for how long. I guess if the open standard protocol is a success, and it turns out to be what it sounds like, there’s no problem. But if Apple says “fuck that” then it doesn’t matter who comes out as the bad guy, the only thing that’s fucked is the customer.

Let me just say that I have no clue! I’m just tossing stuff up in the air. But I’m excited to see where this is going.

Perhaps the most interesting question is: what will the next generation control surface look like and just how far away is it?
