Joox.net, brand new website on the way of getting shut veeeery soon! Apparently you can download and/or stream .divx files straight from the site, can you believe it? The MPAA must be just around the corner, it's just a matter of time! In the meantime, enjoy the site!
UPDATE: I had a better look at the site and apparently it's just a streaming/downloading front-end for another website: stage6.divx.com which as you might have noticed is a sub-domain to divx.com! Uhm, this is rather interesting! We'll see how this plays out, keep checking back for updates.
Yes, I'm at it again, but this time is different. You would not believe it, but TfL actually gives refunds if the train is late 15 min or more, I've tried it. All you need to do is complete the form online and after about a month you will receive a voucher that you can redeem in form of a ticket (or part of it) or topup in your oyster, mine came with £4 pounds! I don't know you, but I'm gonna do this every time the train is one second over 15 min late, let's see if finally they'll find more convenient actually improve the service...
Apparently London will be extending its wifi coverage to few more areas. Besides the already covered Soho, the City and parts of the Thames river bank, we will be able to enjoy wifi soon in Kensington and Chelsea, Camden and Islington, all for a flat rate of £11.00pm (too bad it probably won't reach Hammersmith). And if that wasn't enough, the Department of Trade and Industry received a report urging to take action towards upgrading broadband speed in the UK to keep up with other countries (apparently Hong Kong has been enjoying 100Mbps while I'm lucky if my "up to 8Mbps" connection gets to 2Mbps). It's all good, it's all good...
