Any easy/free way to remove DRM from video?

Wow. I had forgotten about OpenDNS. When I lived in the states I had an awesome fiber connection and OpenDNS didn't make much of a difference. Now that I'm in the Middle East with the world's slowest high speed internet, I just turned it on and it made all the difference in the world. Movies actually stream now. I can

Actually, because of Dylan's post I've started using Spaces and have a dedicated Windows Space with that same rainbow background. It's awesome!

Awesome! So far Hulu's been my main source for all the debates from where I am abroad - thank goodness for a stateside VPN!

VOTE: Google Calendar + iCal.app

VOTE: Spotlight on OSX

You have to hold down Alt/Option for the magic autocomplete to work on a Mac

@andrewheiss: Wait, is this only applicable to people coming back in to the states, since they're worried about stuff coming in?

Crap. I'm moving to Egypt in a week for two years. Can't really keep mine and my wife's laptops here in the states...this ain't no short business trip...

I second Portal!

@Headlam: I used to consider it pseudo-shareware. Before I actually bought Office Home and Student 2007, I downloaded the 60 day trial of both OneNote 2003 and 2007 repeatedly, clearing out all traces of the program every 60 days. :)

VOTE: OneNote

The calendar sync works great! On a related note, does anyone know how to get Address [Book.app] to actually sync with the contacts? I did the plist hack and was given the option to sync my Google contacts, but how do I trigger it?

After adding a whole bunch of my calendars, I've only found one real annoyance, related to the fact that each calendar shows up as a separate server. If I make an event on the wrong calendar, there's no easy way to switch it to a different one; the calendar option in the event editing window only shows the current

Awesome! This is better, so far, than Calgoo since I don't have to have it open all the time!

I use Hamachi + TightVNC on all the computers I manage in my family and have only run into problems with Vista letting me in

Corrrection: This almost works perfectly. It seems like a PC app that was ported to a Mac at the last minute (ergo the Java-ness of it). It seems to need to run in the dock constantly to be of any use; there's no option to put it in the menu bar or hid it completely, or to use it as a background process. Soooo close

This works perfectly! Amazing! I've spent hours trying to get GCalDaemon working with Leopard and just gave up a few days ago. Prefect timing Calgoo!

Anything like this for a Mac? I use two different mice on my laptop, at home and at work, and both have different default tracking speeds, so I have to set the mouse preferences every time I change location... Grrr...

VOTE: Adobe Bridge :)
