Hulu is offering three months of its premium TV streaming service for free for three months. Previously, Hulu offered just two months or one month with Internet Explorer, but now you can try the service for longer, a $24 value.
One of the top ten online services Lifehacker readers said are worth paying for, Hulu Plus adds all current season episodes, HD streaming, more devices to watch from, and exclusive content.
To get your free trial, you just need to enter an email address. Note that former Hulu Plus subscribers (or trial users) can't use the same email address or credit card to redeem the offer. But if you really want those three months, you could always use a junk email address and a prepaid gift card (e.g., from Visa) to get in on the deal.
Don't forget to cancel before the three months are over if you don't want to continue the service, which is $7.99 a month.

Who turns down a $50 billion savings for the country? Who turns down the opportunity for better health for all Americans? The House did, on Tuesday, as the majority of representatives voted to gut the Prevention and Public Health Fund as a means to pay for increased doctors' Medicare reimbursement, called the "doc fix."
We must address the rates that Medicare pays doctors, but doing so by raiding the prevention fund is a short-sighted solution that will cost money, not save it. Quality, affordable medical care and community prevention work hand-in-hand. The President has already said he would veto HR 3630, the payroll tax bill, which houses the Medicare doc fix. In the Senate, Sen. Tom Harkin said the doc fix "isn't going to happen," and Sen. Max Baucus called it "not a good idea at all."
What do the Senate and White House know that the House seems to be missing?
Prevention works.
By supporting local communities through $15 billion over 10 years, the Fund advances our nation beyond a focus on sickness and treatment to one of ensuring health and well-being through innovative, evidence-based community prevention. Communities are already putting these strategies to work in their neighborhoods -- creating safe places for play and physical activity, streets that make it easier to bike or walk to work and school, healthier school lunches, and smoke-free environments. Together, these interventions are making it easier for all Americans to lead healthier lives.
Every dollar we divert from prevention will cost us as much as five dollars down the road. By reducing expenditures and reducing need in the first place, investments in comprehensive prevention bend the cost curve and stem the rising tide of expenditures on preventable chronic diseases.
A recent Gallup poll found that U.S. businesses suffer $153 billion in annual lost productivity due to chronic diseases, including those resulting from lack of access to healthy food and opportunity for physical activity. Since Johnson & Johnson implemented workplace wellness programs, the percentage of employees who smoke dropped by more than two-thirds since 1995. According to the Harvard Business Review
the number who have high blood pressure or who are physically inactive also has declined -- by more than half... Johnson & Johnson's wellness programs saved the company $250 million on health care costs over the past decade.In times of great economic need, our businesses, our communities and our health care system will all benefit from more prevention funding -- not cuts.
Public health is not separate from health care delivery. In fact, in a new national survey from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, three out of four physicians surveyed wished our current health care system would cover the costs of addressing their patients' social needs -- the very needs community prevention resolves -- such as lack of safe open spaces for physical activity and lack of meaningful access to affordable housing and nutritious food.
Using the Fund as an offset for the "doc fix" takes our country backward, stifling the opportunity to build a health care system where public health and health care are fully integrated.
We will better advance the health and well-being of our nation by helping public health and health care work together better, not by pitting them against each other.

Move over, Beyonce ? there?s a new record-setter on Twitter.
Last weekend, a Japanese television broadcast of classic Studio Ghibli anime Castle in the Sky prompted more than 11,349 tweets per second at a key moment in the movie. This perfect storm of tweets broke the previous record of 8,868 tweets per second after pop star Beyonce announced she was pregnant.
Over at Kotaku, there?s an in-depth explanation of how an animated movie released in 1986 could create such a flurry of tweets, but it boils down to this: there?s been a longstanding custom to write or say the word ?balse? during a specific scene in the film. In recent years, the tradition has found its way to Twitter, and the popularity of the flashmob-like ?Balse Festival? hit a peak during last weekend?s showing of the film.
Previous airings of Castle in the Sky have wreaked havoc on some of Japan?s most prominent websites, but Twitter weathered the storm and emerged with a new record-holder.

As illegal immigration rates go down and the National Guard's deployment costs rack up, the Obama administration prepares to cut the Guard's presence along the US-Mexico border.
It's a classic chicken-or-the-egg question. Has the presence of the National Guard contributed to historic lows of illegal immigrants trying to sneak into the US from Mexico? Or do the historic lows mean that billions spent on enforcement is a waste of money?
Skip to next paragraphToday the Monitor looked at how the arrests of immigrants along the border are at their lowest level since 1972, according to US immigration officials. ?The numbers of those arrested in fiscal year 2011, which ended on Sept. 30, stood at 327,577, compared to 1.6 million back in 2000. This comes after the National Guard was deployed to the border, first under former President George W. Bush, and continued under President Obama.
The Washington Post recently looked at the results of the National Guard being sent to the border. As the paper calculates: ?The 1,200 National Guard troops have helped Border Patrol agents apprehend 25,514 illegal immigrants at a cost of $160 million ? or $6,271 for each person caught.?
Now, the Obama administration is preparing to cut down their presence, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. Relying less on manpower, the future mission will depend more on aerial surveillance and other measures. The details are to be announced later this month, but they are apparently precisely in response to fewer immigrants attempting to cross the border illegally.
