Thrilled and angry about lack of free coffee – is it too much to ask for the amount of coin dropped to attend the show?

Another cool capability available today, is internet television, whereas you can view in real time programming from around the world, free – via your browser.

This is a growing market with new vendors showing up, but at the same time, others disappearing. While the assumption would be that all the products are alike, or that fee based tools are superior to their free counterparts, nothing could be farther than the truth.
