And while the convenience is pretty sweet now, if things continue the way they’re going, there’s a real question over how the TV shows we all enjoy watching for free on the internet will be funded. Gus over at Lifehacker has a great post looking at the different options for the TV networks that’s definitely worth a read. Check it out.

11:29AM Nick Broughall | We’re all about the iView love here at Giz, but sometimes you just want something more than ABC programming on demand. Something like Hulu. But if you’ve ever tried to access the video on demand service, you’ve probably gotten a big fat rejection notice on your screen based on where you live. Gus over at Lifehacker’s put together a really good piece on why you can’t access all that free US TV programming, as well as ways that you can’t work around it. Definitely worth a read.

6:12PM Nick Broughall | Google gets it. They understand. While they’re thinking about starting their own countries and creating a whole new mobile platform (and rolling around on rollerblades while doing it), they understand that regular folk are struggling, especially at the petrol pump.
That’s why they’ve launched a gadget for iGoogle which tells you the price of any petrol station in Australia. They update the information twice daily – so the information is going to be fairly accurate – and you can search either by suburb, price or brand.
You can download the gadget for your iGoogle homepage here. It’s a free download, so there isn’t any reason why you shouldn’t use it, unless of course you prefer to walk or catch public transport. In which case – kudos to you for being better than the rest of us…
