I signed up for a free peek at Hula.com which is a new service offered by NBC and allows viewers to see live streaming video content from all their shows. The service is in beta and by invite only. A few days ago I finally received my “invite” so I excitedly logged in and decided [...]
I like this idea a lot. I lived in Hawaii for a long time. In fact I have lived in Hawaii for over 18 years of my life and in a place with so much water and so much sun you could really get a lot of use from such a great little gadget. Basically [...]
