Hulu Days Of Summer are here again

By Paul | Jun 23, 2009

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 A600 Cricket modem 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 player and change them.

Adobe might also hire new workers within Europe, he said. The cuts will be formally announced on Dec. 15 when the company releases its fourth-quarter financial report.

This is another technology company to lay off people, there are some talks that it would be around 600 workers on some blogs. Others are just talking about the Management shakedown, and some workers are going to be moved around. I don’t know who is going to be laid off, or if there will be a tremendous amount of people who will need to start looking for a job. I do know that Adobe is looking for ways to cut cost, and I expect they are having problems just because of the Recession. If you want to check out other jobs that have laid people off, just click this link.

Adobe also announced the implementation of a restructuring program, and has taken steps to reduce its headcount by approximately 600 full-time positions globally. The restructuring will result in anticipated pre-tax charges totaling approximately $44 million to $50 million. The Company expects approximately $28 million to $30 million of the restructuring charges to be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

I had a Friend tell me his system detected this Trojan GENERIC11.BEOG. I did my research and right now. It looking like Adobe added something to there recent updates *see updates below*. I’ll Have to check with some other sources but it looking like AVG over did it again and found something that might just be an AVG issue. (correction)

I usually wait before updating something like adobe. It is sure to be some minor change to adobe but if your are worried here’s the link to watch and see what people are asking or talking about this false positive:

Malwarebytes Security Forums

It seems that AVG is calling this possible virus but yet it looks like it is a false positive. So don’t you worry. If it was a true virus you’d probably would never know!!

*UPDATE*

I installed Adobe 9.0 and updated the virus scan database for AVG. It hasn’t found any thing yet but I am still scanning my system. I’ll let you know if it finds this false positive on my Vista machine!! I’m doing this to test it out!!! Come back later to find out the results of the test. (if you like this website by all means google this website so it too can be on google trends. I want to see it be up on google trends for a day or two.)

Getting Spaz to work with the Twit Army:

I having successfully installed Spaz and use it with the Twit Army. I’d figure I would talk about how to get Spaz to work like Twirl. It’s a very simple way but some people seem to having trouble. This will only work with Vista or XP and I am not sure about Linux or Mac. I’ve been successful doing this with a Vista Premium Machine. It seems to be really easy to use and not take up to much of your desk space.

Download and Install Adobe Air — (You will need this to installed first.)

Download and Install Spaz — (This is the main program)

Once install you will need to go to:

Go to the [ Preferences ]

Go to [ Other Services ]
Put this in exactly as shown (see example)
Go to [ Networking ] (optional)
Put this in exactly as sown (see example)

Fixing the Adobe Problem!!

If your have been having problems with Flash Players stoping after 2 seconds of playing. I have a few ideas to try to get rid of the problem. It used to happen all the time with Vista in the early days. Here’s what I did to occasionally get the flash player to work:

Cleaning out the Prefetch Directory! — Having seen this from time to time. If you have programs startup that might need to be refreshed this will refresh them so that they run like new. You occasionally can get programs that will load in a odd way and this will fix that also.

You want to be more anonymous? — Cleaning out your cache on your browser can sometimes fix the problem. It’s like anything else it can sometimes be corrupted.

Some Important programs to prevent yourself from having viruses and Malware!! — Having seen this with my own two eyes, if you have a viruses or malware on your system that too can cause problems with playback of flash media. So just double check making sure you don’t have any viruses.

Adobe Flash tips and Tricks!

Having been using Hulu for the last few months, I’ve had to tweak the Flash Player and I’d thought I share some tips to get your movies and shows to run smoother on some systems. I will say this, it is not some times the system but the connection to the Internet. Bandwitdth, for some shows are sometimes the hardest part of getting to watch the show.

From time to time, Check for updates:

Having updates will sometimes resolve the most common issues with the Flash player. I’ve had that happen in the past, a certain version would not work right with my system. After updating on those occasions, I’d be ready go!! So here’s the website to go to download and install the latest version:

Download and Install Adobe Player

Why should I have to check it from time to time?

Adobe seems to not want to tell you if you have the lastest version. So I’ve got a schedule to check it ever month and see if I have the latest version. How can you figure that out? By downloading and installing. If you’ve got the current version then you do not have to install it again!!
