Now, here's a theory. Grab yourself a laptop, a 3G card, move to a country of your choice, make sure you have fast broadband and use your computing knowledge to help other users to understand and get the most from their machine. It's possible. Say your a music producer, as an example. There's no reason you can't contribute to a track or help a musician understand how to use soft synthesizer using your skills, from a remote location. Long gone are the days where you have to be in the same room to help other users get the most from their computer.

TeamViewer 4.0.5769 is a tool that you install on your computer, Windows or Mac, and then use to access, control and manage a host PC or Mac. The host doesn't need any software installed, either and can end the session at any time. However, with fast broadband (or even fast 3G), you could easily access their machine across the Internet, even if they are located in another country. Yes, you could charge for this service, too. CrossLoop is another example of similar technology.
