List the websites you like going to here whether it be for news, media or any other reason...
I get my international news here... its pretty much unbiased and thats always a good thing
http://www.guardian.co.uk
...and just click on "world news"
For new discovery/innovation in any field(tech/nanaotech/earth sciences/space sciences/medical/etc) i like to go to this website, mainly because its the first one that i came across that reports on all the fields...
http://www.physorg.com
For GOOD QUALITY streaming video i go here
http://stage6.divx.com/
not movies thou... or at least I haven`t tried looking for `em. If you watch episodes of whatever just click on "channels" and type in the name of the show u looking for and hopefully they have something on it. If they have it, the video quality of the stream is a lot better than you`ll find in a lot of other websites.
