Youtube has been making new strategies to get more revenue. Now they plan to air full length CBS shows. Youtube is mainly built on user generated content. Getting companies to post their full episode will be a new thing.

During the test run Youtube offers 4 shows: Beverly Hills 90210, MacGyver, Star Trek: The Original Series, and The Young and The Restless. The shows can be viewed in the usual youtube playe or a theater type view. The theater view dims the page, pushes everything to the bottom, and widens out.

However the issue of the quality of these videos may be a problem. The test shows aren`t in great quality to begin with. Hulu has great quality of their videos.

The new Geode extention for Firefox lets websites know your location. It lets you give little to alot of information form city, neighborhood, or exact location. You must grant the software permission to access your location. So its not like all websites will know where you are

Geode is using Skyhook’s Loki service which uses nearby wifi connection to identify to your location. Mozilla says that Geode will find your spot within 10-20 meters in secounds.

Mozilla demonstated the new extention with a application called Food Finder which finds places to eat around your exact location.

Even though this requieres Geode, Firefox 3.1 will be a ble to use GPS and other services

This is what you will get on pages that use Geode to confirm your location being sent out.

If you are at work or have a home network setup you may have a network printer. However if you moved your computer or changed printers removing it may be difficult. Then when you try to remove it you get this message: “Cannot delete network printer”. So now you have a printer that doesn`t work.  There is a way to fix this by editing the registry.

Remove network printers from Windows using registry

Click on the start menus –> Run and type regedit and press ok. Now you will open Registry Editor.

Got to this Part of your registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Printers --> Connections
Now you will see a list of the printers with the server name
the a comma and the printer name



Select the printer and delete it by expanding it
and deleting the printer server key. However you aren`t done yet.

You have to delete it in one more place in the registry. 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –-> SYSTEM –-> CurrentControlSet –-> Control –->
Print –-> Providers --> LanMan Print Services –-> Servers --> Printers

Under the printers key you should be able to see the printer server and delete it

Hulu does not let you watch their videos if you live outside the United States. You can however use Hotspot Shield, which creates a connection through VPN to make it look like you are in the United States.
