Here’s a cool hack I found on Yahoo News, it’s a hack that lets you watch free Amazon videos using the security hole:

(I don’t think this will last too long once Amazon finds out so we suggest you to take advantage before they close the security hole)

The free demo version of Replay Media Catcher allows anyone to watch 75 percent of anything recorded and 100 percent of YouTube videos. For $39, a user can watch everything recorded.

One Web site — www.tvadfree.com — explains step-by-step how to use the video stream catching software.

Amazon.com’s Adobe-powered Video On Demand service allows viewers to watch the first two minutes of a movie or TV show for free. It charges up to $3.99 to rent a movie for 24 hours and up to $14.99 to download a movie permanently.

Amazon starts to stream the entire movie during the free preview — even though it pauses the video on the Web browser after the first two minutes — so that users can start watching the rest of the video right away once they pay.

“It’s the traditional trade-off, convenience on the one hand and security on the other,” said Ray Valdes, analyst at research group Gartner.

However, even if a user doesn’t pay, the stream still sends the movie to the video catching software, but not the browser.

While this might not seem like big news, gamers will love the fact that Dell’s new laptop will feature a Quad-core Processor with 16GB of memory.

This new Dell Precision laptop will be available later this fall, keep saving up that piggy bank money until then gamers.

We heard you. Welcome to our slick new concept for the ultimate Dell Precision mobile workstation, destined to be one of the first of its kind and the envy of all those who thought they had a powerful and cool notebook.

Fully configurable, streamlined and gorgeous. Just think of the options:

Dual-core? No, YOU WANT quad-core processing power. 8GB memory limitation? Forget that, YOU WANT more. Storage. A few hundred Gig? YOU WANT a Terabyte and RAID. 17″ screen? Yes, but YOU WANT 100% Adobe color gamut RGBLED. 512MB of dedicated graphics memory? No, YOU WANT more.

Here’s this week’s wrap up of Web2.0 companies and ramblings over at .Net:

Craigslist needs to update their graphics… Google Adsense will be available for RSS feeds, more money for bloggers.

Jobirn, a new type of job referral network launched. The Dot Com Boom history of miserable failures can be seen here including webvan.

Free Adsense stickers yey! Google gets sued for “crawling”. Track the most popular URL twitted about with Twitturly.

Viacom is suing Google and they are super greedy for money! Xoost search engine launched, looks very promising.

More innovative scam marketing on the internet…

Check out video of Twitter’s beginnings.  Techcrunch posts a post with NOTHING.  Pizza Hut launches their Adobe Flex app, very impressive.

Don’t know AJAX?  Check out AJAXDaddy, who can help you.

You can’t miss tour of Google’s San Francisco headquarters.

My first job ever was at Pizza Hut where I took orders, made pizza, and delivered.  It was probably the most fun job I ever had as I got to do everything including making myself some custom pizzas at the end of the day.

I’d still work at Pizza Hut if they paid me more than what I made now.  Make sure to tip your pizza delivery guy right, I always tip at least $3 and $5 when i have money.

Anyways, Pizza Hut launches their new Adobe Flex App, it’s basically a desktop app that lets you order your pizza faster.

Adobe Flex, will it be the next generation technology for Web 3.0? It’s hard to tell at this point as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for flash or flex has not proven to be great. Although you could make an opinion that flash or flex can be embedded in an HTML page, that’s still no where close to RSS and tags that blogs offer.

Today, I met when Steven (Stephen) Harris from WebSpiders.com, a Global IT Outsourcing company that specializes in development of Adobe Flex and AJAX web applications.

Steven was nice enough to show me a demo of how Flex will change how people shop online:

P.S. Excel Man was also spotted over at Expressocorp.com’s booth. (Now I think of it, there’s a guy inside it. Tomorrow, I will punch the Excel Man and see if I can get a reaction.)

What do you think of Adobe Flex?
