I'm sort of amazed that PeeCee makers have not taken much of a design hint from Apple's success. Have a look at your local computer shop, and it's still ugly beige (or black) boxes. Of course there is blatant cloning by people like Asus who unashamedly copied the MacBook Air design, right down to their adverts.

I think it's fair to say that the very successful Samsung tablets took a few cues from Apple design as well.

But then, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, isn't it?

used to shy away from apple products to avoid being labelled as a crowd follower

Ironic, as it has not been many years ago when Apple users bought Apple products to avoid being labelled as crowd followers (e.g. Windows).

The original post was asking about VPN service in order to watch programmes from the UK. That means a VPN service with a proxy. Sure, you could configure someone's machine in the UK as a proxy server, but I think the question here was regarding commercial VPN servers that provide hosted servers in other countries so that they could get around issues from accessing UK services from Thailand.

Kinda like when you pay a company to host your website.

Oh I forgot to mention this can all be done free and remotely with Teamviewer

Teamviewer is remote access and screensharing software for Windows, so I'm not sure how this fits in with VPN services.

By the way, screensharing is built in to OSX.

I used it to setup the VPN on the other persons computer, so they had to do absolutely nothing besides install team viewer and give me their admin password. Now they and I have a completely free (besides ISP service bill) VPN.


OK. So who provides the completely free VPN proxy service?
