Hulu Days of Summer Clues for July 6 thru 10, 2009

Paul8 Replies

Ok So we hit it off well this week now they seem to want to give us some really hard ones.   So I figure we can disqus this in the forums or other in comment sections.  I want to hear what you think:

So Let’s Start this off,  There are Some good Possibilities:

If anyone can think of something different let me know these are just a few ideas that I think they could be but if you have something different I will surely entertain the idea.

I’ve got a Feeling this week they are using Anagrams but I can’t figure this one out just Yet.  They used a characters name for the anagram so if Anyone can help solve these let me know!!!  I do I found it.   Let me know what you think leave comments and such!!

*Tuesday Update*

Can’t Figure out the “A Cornmeal Viper” but I know it is an Anagram so if someone figures that out let me know!!  We have 1 out 2 done.

*Wednesday Update*

As you can see I figured out two of the clues the only one that I am having problems with is “A Moan Cough Ink”.  So If someone wants to help me figure that one out, just leave a comment and I will get it.

*Thursday Update*

Finally Figured it out after they brought out the list for Thursday.  It was a Japanese name and movie so no wonder I couldn’t figure out.  Well we aren’t perfect, I suppose!!  More to come!!

Not sure what this new clue is “Valiant Rim“, I look around and check to see if it was an Anagram.  If it is a Chinese or Japanese name I won’t be able to unscramble it.   It could be something that has to do with Mountain Biking but I am unsure!!

How to Watch Internet TV on your TV : The Cheap Way!!

Paul

As many of you know, I am a great fan of Hulu.   Recently I went searching to find out how to watch Hulu without having to buy NETGEAR Digital Entertainer Live (Black) and Paying a monthly service.  So Here’s is what you need to watch it on your TV.

What you will need:

Video
S-Video Cables — If you plan to use S-video in then this is what you will need.  The good thing about this is most Laptops have S-Video Out.   Although this isn’t always the case this is how I watch Hulu on TV.

VGA to S-Video — Some laptops only have VGA you will be able to tell by the look of the connection but if you have this tool you can convert any VGA connection to S-video easily.

Philips 3-Way AV Selector For $9.88 –This is the cheap way for those who can only connect coaxial cable inputs.   This is what you will need to use on Older TV’s.

Audio

2 RCA Male / 3.5mm Stereo Male, 25 ft — This is for the head phone jack that you will have on your laptop pipe your audio from you laptop to the TV screen. Depending on the length of the S-Video cable will also determine the Length of the the Audio cable. So you will need to look around for a 25 foot S-video cable just so you have the room.

In Conclusion

This is one wHuluqualitysettingsay to connect mulitple video outlets like VCR or HD Over the air converters.  So it isn’t a bad way to go to make this happen.   I did buy each of these to be able to watch shows on my TV through the internet.   Now you can too.  If you need internet for you laptop, I have been using the [intlink id=”3059″ type=”post”]Cricket Broadband A600[/intlink] to stream Hulu to my TV.   This is so nice with Hulu Desktop.  As long as you put the quality of the stream to Low and not Medium the modem seems to be able to keep up. Now if you click on the quality you will be able to select Low, Medium or High Quality this is how you can stream over lower bandwidth limitations.

Now all this shouldn’t cost you more than $30 without shipping and if you look around your local Radio Shack or Walmart you will be able find all you need there. This is how I did it myself. Now I can watch want I want on my 30 Inch Big Screen. I just put my Laptop on the Coffee Table and enjoy the shows.

If your looking to upgrade or buy a laptop, I would suggest looking into the Amazon Laptop Store. This is for those who would like to be able to do this in the future.   Although you don’t have to buy from Amazon it is just an Idea or you could buy Hulu. Recently I went searching to find out how to watch Hulu without having to buy NETGEAR Digital Entertainer Live (Black)and paying for a monthly services to watch Hulu on your TV. I prefer using my Roku to watch movies and shows. It is cheaper than the Vodu. Although you don’t get Hulu, you can watch movies and shows from Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand!

Hulu Days Of Summer are here again

So we have it here right now, and it starts out really good.   You can watch Stargate SG1 Season 1 through 4 the whole summer.  The last of the Mohicans was the frst movie they brought out for this event.  I rember last years one where we had to guess the coming week.  Some of the ones that I did last year were:

Now I don’t know all that will come this summer but I would of liked to have clues like we did last year. That would of been really fun.  Oh well, I will keep watch on this and see what comes from this.   I also have been using the Hulu Desktop more and more, it seems to work well with [intlink id=”3059″ type=”post”]A600 Cricket modem[/intlink] really well.  For those who have it, I would suggest using the lowest quality of playback for using it.  It really isn’t bad quality for watching shows and such on.   You really don’t have to worry to much about buffering.  Although you should check your settings on the [intlink id=”1009″ type=”post”]player and change them[/intlink].

On a side note this week and next I will be really busy so I don’t know if I will update as much as I have in the past.  This is summer afterall so it might be off and on this summer until everything goes back to normal in the fall.  I will update the blog when I can this summer, so don’t you fret to much!!

Malicious Spammers target Bank of America

Paul

I’ve saw two different security firms talking about Bank of America and I wanted to share with you:

Fake Bank Of America SitePicture from F-secure

[ad#cricket-right-ez]The two sites are F-secure and Pandalabs who are talking about Bank of America and how they try to get you to install malware.  With Adobe having just sent out the new updates last month it looks like spammers are using this to get people to install Malware.

It is also been known to be floating around in Facebook this spam.  So if you get a link going to a site you don’t know about to see a video and it says you need a codec or the Adobe update you should turn right around and leave site. You should always type in the url of Your Bank and not go there through links.

From what they are saying it monitors Network traffic and Steals ICQ, POP3, and IMAP passwords.  If you find network traffic going to Hong Kong IP, then it is time to check to make sure all your Virus definitions are up to date and you’ve installed an Anti-virus and Firewall.  I would encourage  users to report it to Phishtank so that any other unsuspecting user or person going to that site will be warned.
