    LogMeIn

    No comments

    LogMeIn is a VPN (Virtual Private Network). It gives you the ability to access and control a computer from anywhere. Once the LogMeIn application is installed on a computer (PC or Mac) you just go to the LogMeIn website, go to your account and choose which computer to access. This is great for helping friends and family with minor computer issues. LogMeIn has a paid version that adds some additional functionality like the ability to move files from the host computer to the remote computer. The basic LogMeIn is free!

It would cost an individual like Leo Leporte (host and creator of the TWiT network) a small fortune to serve that much video. With the help of site like Stickcam it is now possible.
