One really cool feature is that you can subscribe to your favorite shows or channels and get notified whenever the new videos are added. Hulu offers feeds that have videos embedded into them so that you can watch them directly from within your primary RSS news reader (i.e. Google Reader). Check out list of available feeds here.

At the moment the service is available only within the United States; access to Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia is on the way. When it comes to other countries here is what Hulu has to say:

Hulu is committed to making its content available worldwide. To do so, we must work through a number of legal and business issues, including obtaining international streaming rights. Know that we are working to make this happen and will continue to do so. Given the international background of the Hulu team, we have both a professional and personal interest in bringing Hulu to a global audience.

If you don’t feel like waiting then I suggest you to check out SurfTheChannel. It can’t compete with Hulu when it comes to quality but has a giant video libray.

If the first method fails, there are two things you can still try:

• 1. Get a soft cloth and gently massage the dead pixel.
• 2. You can also try using a bigger (800×600 or 1024×768) graphic and leave it on the screen for about 12 hours.*

* IMPORTANT: When using a bigger graphic make sure to cover whole LCD screen with the black window. You can use the F11 button (Firefox, IE) to open browser in full screen mode and hide all the top bars. Leaving any status bar visible may harm the LCD screen.
