Though TV shows have gradually become available on individual network sites over the past few years, the merit of Hulu is that it lets you go to a single, easy-to-use site to watch any episode you want - without having to sift through all the promotional clutter on official TV sites.

The 1,000 unanswered e-mails are also history. "Now when I leave my office, I have between two and 10 e-mails in my inbox." Not surprisingly, he sleeps better...
...with much of the interest coming from Beckham replicas; the league expects that its stadiums will be filled when the Beckham circus comes to town; and MLS loyalists will claim vindication from the international interest in the U.S. league prompted by Beckham's presence. "David Beckham blows through the clutter in the sports-entertainment market because he transcends sport, he is a cultural icon," says Don Garber, MLS commissioner.
