I don't think Hiro has telekinesis powers.
The way I saw it with the bullet, Hiro did not "force" the bullet back into the gun, he stopped time, then reversed it to keep from being hit.
Who is the internet-psychic girl? Do we know anything about her other than that she has the stupidest mutation ever? Can use the internet without a connection?
It's like that episode of Family Guy where they all get super powers, and Meg can grow her nails really fast.

I would need to go back and check exactly what she said to be sure, but I'm under the impression she can access and manipulate wireless and satellite signals. Think of all the things she could do with that...listen to phone calls, access spy satellites, transmit messages to someone's TV, watch TV in her head from anywhere, spy on Swiss bank account transaction, etc. etc. Just think of all the stuff that's getting beamed around the world every day, then ponder on what you could do with that information

It seemed like time kinda missed a beat when Hiro stopped the bullet. When Vegas show girl was about to shoot Hiro and Ando, there were no cops on the scene. Hiro then stopped the bullet, reversed it, and boom... suddenly there was a parking lot full of cop cars.
I can't figure that one out.

The Hiro thing actually bothered me last night. I can see him reversing time to put the bullet back in the gun, or him stopping time and moving out of the way, but he should not have been able to make the gun fly out of her hand like that. Unless of course, he is developing power we haven't seen before.

I think Hiro discovered a mutation of his ability to shift/alter time. Before he was always shifting time for the entire world (or at least everything we could see). Perhaps he was able to shift time only for the bullet; essentially rewinding its reference time with such force that it knocked vegas girl down.
As for internet chick, while it's not as "cool" as telekinesis, invisibility, or some of the others, it could certainly be very useful, particularly as a spy or assassin.

.But I'm supposed to be under the suspended-disbelief that these are all "genetic mutations" right? Well... I can see Super-hearing or Telekinesis as a genetic mutation... and *almost* see some of the other ones (regeneration, mind reading)... but I'm supposed to believe there's a GENETIC MUTATION that allows humans to interact with machines? Riiiight.
Then again... it's just a TV show

Micah has the same ability - he can essentially talk to computers.

machines communicate with 0 and 1s. Being able to control computers or hear the beams of interner communications is not more difficult than being able to fluently speak the language of computer. It would be like a very specific form of telekenesis or sensory perception for a specific hz beyond the typical range of human hearing or sensory perception.
Hell our nervious systems function off on/off triggers. Same way a computer works.
So in TV theory...it would be possible.

The weekly graphic novels explain alot of the powers in better detail.
They state that Micah can talk to machines and apparently get them to do what ever he wants. It does appear that he has to be near or in contact with the machine though.
Wireless picks up signals, interpreting and sending them. I guess there is a fine line between the two.
The novels are worth reading, they fill in some interesting gaps and give insight to areas not addressed in the show.
