If you're outside of the US and sick of not being able to see good TV online or just tired of waiting for Hulu to get your favorite shows, you'll want to check out TVGorge and its huge archive of shows.
TVGorge breaks through international barriers by bringing fresh American TV content to viewers outside of the United States and other approved viewing areas.

You can watch LOST as well as 125+ other popular television shows like Dexter, Dollhouse, Entourage, and Archer.
How does TVGorge bring in such fresh content?

Will they survive the phalanx of lawyers likely sharpening their spears as we speak? Maybe not, but in the mean time you can finally watch the premiers of your favorite shows without waiting a year for rebroadcasting in your locale.

Mozilla Warns of Two Firefox Extensions Containing Trojan Malware [Security]
The official Mozilla Add-ons Blog has issued a security notice to Firefox users regarding two experimental add-ons that made their way onto the Firefox Add-ons pages containing malware. The extensions in question—Sothink Web Video Downloader and Master Filer (neither of which had we even heard of)—target Windows users and have been removed. Mozilla reassures users:
AMO performs a malware check on all add-ons uploaded to the site, and blocks add-ons that are detected as such. This scanning tool failed to detect the Trojan in Master Filer. Two additional malware detection tools have been added to the validation chain and all add-ons were rescanned, which revealed the additional Trojan in Version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader. No other instances of malware have been discovered.

Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Just waitin for a train
Just waitin for a train
by matt.harding
Photographer's Description:
OK. This is is where I got in a little trouble with the Metro Police. It seems that taking pictures is illegal from the train platform. It is also illegal to be on the platform without a ticket.I ended up getting a formal (written) warning. Everything ended well and I went on my way - straight away from Main Street to avoid the cop. Well the day was very cold and almost no one was on the streets. The next thing I knew I had basically walked a circle around the blocks and was back at the intersection where the platform was. It turned out the cop was still there. And to my surprise he had his bomb sniffing dog out and was sweeping the entire platform. Whether he was doing this because of me or just because he had to, I don't know.
It's a shame that these platforms are off limits for photography. Houston really doesn't have many places for street style photography. So few places that I am tempted to do it again - except from a distance ;-).
How do you feel about public photography. Is there a real reason to keep photographers off platforms, was the cop really doing his job or just hassling a photographer?
If you have a passion for Houston and photography, consider joining a whole bunch of Houston's best photographers in the Houstonist Flickr Photo Group. Each day, Houstonist chooses a Photo of the Day and if Houstonist uses your photo, submit it here.

The real reason why the iPad will be a success
January 28, 2010 ·
Those that are dubious of the iPad’s impending success (and I suspect that you are one of them, Baruch) are of course in danger or repeating history (qv iPod, iPhone). I have no intention of replicating all the arguments pro- and con the iPad, so I will limit myself to just one wholly original observation as to why I think the doubters once again are not getting it:
1. The iPhone was a success from the start, but it really became a ubiquitous device when it proved competent at a whole range of tasks beyond Apple’s original marketing copy. (It was just “a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device,” remember?) Now games rule on the iPhone, and as many parents will attest, the iPhone’s one true calling is as breakthrough child pacification device.
A similar role awaits the iPad. No, not for children; rather, look to the burgeoning end of the demographic curve: baby boomers.

Darwin Award winners revealed
| Darwin Award winners revealed |
Two bank robbers have been declared winners of the 2009 Darwin Awards after they blew themselves up while trying to crack open a cash machine.
The Belgian pair used so much explosive to get their hands on the money that they destroyed the whole bank building.
When police arrived at the scene, they found one of them with severe head injuries, and rushed him to hospital where he died shortly after arrival.
Investigators initially assumed that his accomplice had managed a getaway, but the second one's body was excavated from the debris twelve hours later.
Wendy Northcutt, the founder of the annual awards, declared them the 2009 winners of the Darwin Awards, given to those "doing the most to improve the human gene pool by removing themselves from it".
The bank robbers just edged ahead of their main rival Shawn Motero who was stuck in a traffic crawl in Florida when he needed to answer a call of nature.
With no toilet handy, he got out of the car before jumping over a concrete wall to find a more secluded spot.
Unfortunately, the 30-year-old had not realised he was on a bridge, and fell 65 feet to his death. Award organisers said it proved you should "look before you leak".
In third place was the first ever woman to be nominated for the award. Rosanne Tippett drove her moped into a flooded river, despite the warning signs.
She was rescued by police, but died after jumping back into the river in an attempt to recover the two-wheeler.
