After my home satellite TV was halfly broken, I started to use Chinese PPS and PPlive to watch free online TV programmes. Both softwares have their own advantages but generally are pretty similar.
One of PPS's greates advantage is that I can set a sleeping timer, i.e. use PPS to set a time to close the computer! It's such a great thing that I don't have to get up to turn off the PC during freezing Sydney nights!
These few days I go back to use TVUplayer - an English version free online TV programme. It seems that TVUplayer has better reception and image quality for a finacial review show I'm watching everyday.
Thanks to the internet technologies. We now can save heaps by using those internet based software instead of pay TV!

One Piece & Death Note
I have been watching both Japanese Cartoons recently.
Very interesting. I even feel those cartoons are better than the movies or any TV shows.
The stories are beyond normal imagination.
One Piece started a few years ago. Now is still continuing, already more than 450 episodes. I watched through PPS - a Chinese media player. I'm only up to episode 192, so can take quite a while to get to the current ones. In the episodes I'm currently watching, I noticed that they are talking about 'a missing Golden Island - Shandola' which was flushed to the high sky by wide ocean waves. The island in the air and the people living on the island are so alike the planet Pandora in Avatar! Is the idea of Avatar origined from One Piece?
The Death Note only can be found on Youtube. The image is not as clear as PPS but sound is quite good and it's English dubbed version. Also beyond imagination - Shinigami (Death God), using death notebook to kill someone by just writing the name on it....
No wonder Japan becomes a country of manga. The manga is not only for kids but also for adults, for sure.

Fuji Finepix HS10
Ordered the Fujifilm Finepix HS10 last night. Over internet!
Have never thought to buy a camera online and from overseas - a Hongkong based website.
But after doing all the researches, found this web offers a price about $50-100 cheaper than any local stores. (I bought the camera with a 16GB SD card plus a mini-tripod, a screen protector and a card reader at A$541 including DHL shipping. It costs $671 to buy from Harvey Norman with nothing else.) The web also provides a 18-month door-to-door warrant - though I'm not counting much on that if something goes wrong......
I have compared the features of this HS10 with a few other brands such as Cannon Powershot G11 and SX1.
At this price range, the HS10 should be the most powerful DC which has a 30x zoom lens! If it can have higher resolution (currently only 10.3MP), it will be perfect!
Can't wait to get it!
