Zoho Adds Macros and Pivot Tables to Online Spreadsheets. you can write your macros in old school VB and it recompiles it into java. I’m sure the Excel online team is quietly shitting their pants.

jstn.cc : Muxtape, 24 hour mark “8,685 users / 19,731 songs / 35,000 visits / $118.17 on S3″. that’s gotta be getting expensive. via josh.

So I’ve been meaning to write-up some thoughts on hulu.com since I got a beta invite back in December. Hulu is a joint venture between NBC and FOX to create a legal online video hub for their content. The main draw of the site is the content. Every show that’s currently on NBC and FOX is regularly updated on hulu. They also have a solid back catalog which including every episode of Arrested Development and a couple seasons of the A-Team. Their also added new content almost every day. The video quality is quite good (fullscreen on my macbook looks fine) and download speeds have been awesome (I’ve only had buffering issues once or twice since december).
The site is nice and clean and has a couple features that I’ve really grown to like. If you close your browser while watching an episode, when you return to that episode it’ll re-queue it 10 seconds before you left last time. I’ve even got into a few shows via hulu which I wouldn’t have watched otherwise (30 Rock and Burn Notice come to mind). It seems the biggest problem with the site is that it’s only available in the US (which will probably drive me nuts soon enough).
Anyways, hulu is no longer in beta and anyone can use it (that is, anyone in the US). I highly recommend checking it out.
