MSN has a handy feature for finding out gas prices. Simply enter your zip code and a list of pump prices are listed. This is similar to Gas Buddy, if you’ve ever seen that site. From what I read in the newspaper over the weekend, Gas Buddy relies on users to report the gas prices as they change. MSN tracks prices based on what people are spending at each gas station. So, even though Gas Buddy might be slick, MSN’s just might be more accurate. Either way, they’re both handy little applications. Enjoy!

Several “watch t.v. online” sites have been popping up around the internet, but most are not legitimate. Hulu has been in private beta for a while now, I was one of the lucky ones to get to test it out, and let me tell you it’s slick. I watched several episodes of my old favorite T.V. show “The A-Team” during my beta testing. The presentation is great, and the video load time is good, but probably depends on your internet speed. To give you an idea of the stations that have signed on with Hulu – here’s the massive list:

FOX, NBC Universal, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros. Television Group, as well as Access Hollywood, AST Dew Tour, BNET, Bravo, Broadway Video, CenterStaging, Chic.tv, Chiller, CHOW, CNET, Comedy Time, E! Entertainment Television, ExerciseTV, FEARnet, Ford Models, Fox Atomic, Fox Movie Channel, Fox Reality, Fox Searchlight, Fox Sports, Fox TV Studios, Fuel TV, FX Networks, G4TV, Gamespot, Gamespy, Hidden Universe, IGN, Image Entertainment, Lionsgate, LX.TV, MEN7, Mojo, Movieola, My Network TV, National Geographic Channel, National Geographic Digital Shorts, NBA, NBC Sports, NBCU TV, NHL, Oxygen, Paley Media, Red Bull, Reveille, Salient Media, SciFi Channel, Shout! Factory, Sleuth Channel, SpaceRip, Speed, Sundance Channel, Taste TV, The Fight Network, The Golf Channel, The Onion, The Style Network, Thought Equity, TV Guide, TVG, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Twentieth Century Fox Television, Twentieth Television, Universal Pictures, USA Network, Versus, Vuguru, WatchMojo, Wine Library TV and World Wrestling Entertainment®.

This is definitely a break through in television online. Makes me wonder if everyone will be watching t.v. online in the future, and home televisions will be giant computer monitors… hmmm!

I meant to post this a while back, but haven’t had the chance. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock (like I have been), here’s a good video to hear about Googles new open source phone technology.

“Under sunny skies, Google.org chief Larry Brilliant drove a white plug-in Prius emblazoned with the Google colors into a parking bay whose roof is covered with solar panels, part of the company’s 1.6 megawatt solar installation – the nation’s largest. He got out of the car and grabbed one of the retractable power cords hanging from the roof and plugged in the Prius to applause from the Googlers and guests.” Read more.
