http://www.orb.com
a co-worker of mine showed me this today, pretty friggin cool. you install the app on your computer that has all your media, select the folders you want access to, then you can log into the site from any browser anywhere and stream the media, even to phones/pdas. it will even stream live TV if you have a TV/Tuner installed and connected. |

Surprising I would figure there was a relay station there or at least a HAM operator.
