Hulu.com is a pretty good effort by NBC and FOX to provide their media to net denizens for free.
If you are an advertizer on hulu, freaking use your 3 or so ad slots to show a progressive commercial instead of showing the same ad three times.

Here are some Free Apps that I have found useful:
1001
I use this for Flickr uploading now days. None of the options are great, but this one does it the least annoyingly.

Ginger Altoids are great for clearing the sinuses!
