An Easy Way to Access Hulu from Outside the US

→Hulu.com is one of the best places on the web where you can watch movies and popular TV shows for free. All you need is a web browser with the Flash Player and you are good to go.Hulu at this is time is only available in US but there's an a new browser add-on called MediaNet that makes it dead-simple for anyone to access Hulu from anywhere in the world. Just install the extension and there's absolutely no configuration required.MediaNet is available for Firefox and Google Chrome. I was looking at the source code of the Chrome add-on and turns out that it merely changes the proxy server settings of your browser when you try accessing a Hulu video. Here's the relevant snippet:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

var usa = ['hulu.com', 'netflix.com', 'pandora.com'];



var direct = ['assets.hulu.com', 'll.a.hulu.com', 'ads.hulu.com', 'stats.pandora.com', 'blog.netflix.com', 'nordicsblog.netflix.com', 'blog.pandora.com'];

for (var i = 0; i < direct.length; i++) {

if (host.indexOf(direct[i]) > -1) {

return 'DIRECT';

}

}



if (host.match(/audio.*\.pandora\.com/) || host.match(/const.*\.pandora\.com/) || host.match(/mediaserver.*\.pandora\.com/) || host.match(/cont.*\.pandora\.com/)) {

return 'DIRECT';

}



for (var i = 0; i < usa.length; i++) {

if (host.indexOf(usa[i]) > -1) {

return 'PROXY 50.116.59.63:80';

}

}

return 'DIRECT';

}

In addition to Hulu, the same add-on may also be used for accessing music site Pandora and movie-streaming site Netflix from outside the US.

Search Gmail messages by Size using the undocumented "size" operatorWondering what email messages are eating up all the Gigabytes of space that you have in your Gmail mailbox? There are Google Scripts and external web apps that let you discover all the space-hogging email attachments but you don't need them anymore. →Gmail supports an undocumented "size" search operator that will let you quickly find all the big emails in the mailbox whose size exceeds a particular threshold. The search syntax is:size:[size in bytes]To give a real example, a Gmail search query like size:5242880 will list all big emails who size is 5 MB or greater while size:10485760 list messages that are bigger than 10 MB.The size operator requires size in bytes (1 MB = 1048576 Bytes) but to make things a bit easier to remember, you can also think of the number as 1 followed by 6 zeros.Once you have spotted the large emails attachments that are taking too much space, apply the #googleDrive label to directly save those attachments to Google Drive before deleting them from your Gmail mailbox.The "size" operator was first discovered by TechSmog [via Lifehacker.com] This story, Undocumented Gmail Search Operator Locates all the Emails with Large Attachments, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 09/11/2012 under GMail, Internet.
