Hulu Opens Its Gates But Not For All

The Hulu is one of the most talked about sites of the last few months and it is coming out of its Beta edition. It is a project run by Fox and NBC-Universal, through which anyone can see almost all TV series, but only if you live in America.
Again, as it happened with Pandora, the rest of the world will stay away from a wonderful project because of corporate policies.
Internet Explorer 8 Cannot Access Windows Update!

This was not expected not even by the most pessimist people out there. It seems that the BETA version of Internet Explorer 8 is full of problems.
According to various blogs if you try to access the windows update page with Internet Explorer 8 then you will experience a small problem as it tells you that you need to have Internet Explorer 5 or a newer version…
Anyway, this is a BETA version so it is forgiven …for now ![]()
Internet Explorer 8 Beta Now Online

Microsoft has opened the gates for the new Internet Explorer, 8. The first beta edition of this browser is aimed for Web Developers and Designers. In other words unless you have a serious reason do not download it because you might experience some problems.
The Internet Explorer 8 promises better security and faster navigation. It also introduces two new concepts, the Activities and the Web slices.
The activities is a menu with which you can connect a text from the webpage you are watching with external applications (ie you can select and address from the activity menu and go see it on the map).

The Web Slices is a service where you can choose a part of the webpage (ie a list of recent Weberence posts) and monitor this part through the links bar of the i.e.

If you want to have a go at the new browser then go here
CNN’s iReport

Few days ago I wrote an article regarding the iReport.com domain that was sold to CNN for $750,000 (from the Domain King).
Today the beta edition of iReport opened its gates and CNN paved the way to the future. Below is a copy from the site’s welcome:
Welcome to a brand new beta site for unfiltered, uncensored user-powered news. CNN is providing the tools. You take it from there! Report, upload and comment on the stories you find most interesting and important. The views, coverage and content on the site are all yours - not CNN’s! So, go ahead, have at it!
I do not have to stress how important this is especially when it is backed up by the biggest news network in the world. Many of the videos that users upload to the site will be used by CNN (free material). For more see iReport.com
Till now I have not managed to play any videos, maybe its because its still in beta version. Also what is noticeable is that the embed option is missing, and hopefully not intentionally.
