Hi; Regarding your footnote, “hulu.com videos aren’t available outside of the U.S.”, I can suggest a work around this limitation.

Download a small program from http://anchorfree.com/downloads/hotspot-shield/. When activated (very easy to do, from a small icon in your menu bar), you receive a NEW I.P. ADDRESS (not registered to you in the USA). Then simply surf to HULU.COM and all works fine.

Note: This is how the reporters at the Beijing Olympics got around the government restrictions on the web.

The 3 features/benefits they list are:

* Hide your IP while you’re on-line
* Access all content without censorship; bypass firewalls
* Protect yourself from snoopers at Wi-Fi hotspots, hotels, airports, corporate offices and ISP hubs.

So, you can see it’s useful here in the USA when connected to a Wi-Fi network at your local coffee shop.

Sincerely, Edward

So my photo journalism professor made me watch this documentary. He was a war photographer in Africa and said that I needed to know what I was getting into if I decided to do international photojournalism. It changed me a lot. I actually went the PR/marketing direction after it. I got back into photography, but I don’t think I could do what he does. The only solace I could take from such photography is that maybe people will begin to understand what war is really about. I watched it again a few months back, and decided maybe I could do it.

I don’t know that he reads this, but Jim Fisher, if you’re out there, thanks for sharing this.

Bummer! Sorry about that, Celso, I’ve had the same thing happen in reverse (I’m unable to watch some video on the BBC). Is this happening more frequently, I wonder?

Unfortunately the Hulu videos are only available for US viewers…
