TV on Google Play

It would appear that Google Play now do TV shows. Kind of an “On Demand” thing. True, you still have to pay for the shows, but they’ve got some pretty big name shows there now:

And even for the learning types, they’ve got documentary series too:

They’re running a couple of free episodes at the moment via here.

Security

As a result of the Ubuntu Forums hack recently, I’ve now had to spend several hours going through all my internet logins accounts to see whether or not I have used the same password anywhere else. Not surprising, I have so I have to go through and change them all. Fortunately, LastPass allows me to generate secure passwords which  I can use to replace other passwords. The only real place where I would be concerned if they have access would by emails, but I have 2-factor authentication turned on there, and have had it turned on for many months, and they need my email address, password AND phone to get into my account. Even my backup codes are stored on a TrueCrypt volume stored on a LUKS partition on my laptop so they would need two passwords to get at those.

Mind you, it IS good that these forums were hacked, it’s given me a reason to go through my accounts and see which ones I still use and which ones I can delete.

Three

Strange…. my connection to the Internet on my Three UK device seems to have gone. I thought maybe I hadn’t paid my bills, but then again, they’re on Direct Debit, so that shouldn’t happen. Plus, one of my colleagues at work is also on Three (a different plan, but the same network) and his connection is also down. Looks like Three are either doing something but not telling us, or someone’s pulled the plug somewhere…. Or maybe possibly both.

EDIT: 8:30am — Message on the Customer Services line indicates that they are aware of the issue and are working on it. But still no connection.

EDIT: 11am — network back up
