HULU May Have An Auto-immune Problem

Hulu.com, my source for the best of Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock and more, has an apparently unwelcome partner in software developer Boxee - who recently figured out how to feed Hulu content to hi-def TVs.

But the folks at Hulu HQ (NBC, Universal Studios and FOX) didn't like it one bit.

Here's the latest story on MacUser by Dan Moren.

What's The Future of Video?

Well, it's probably all about:
1) quality content
2) availability on demand.

While that may or may not spell "The End" of TV as we know it, here's the Big Kahuna of Hulu.com to explain it to us.

Is it just me, or does this guy seem to be a little too earnest? I keep waiting for him to talk about the fun of connecting with the Hulu brand, but instead we get a combination of a business plan backed by his impressive resumé. Almost sounds like a bad press release.

What do you think?

"Mad Men" 2.1 Now Available on Hulu

I was looking for some background noise while I did some work this evening and discovered that Hulu's latest post is Mad Men Season 2, Episode 1.

Yow! Bonus. (as my Art Director/Partner, Charlie Oldham, used to say when good things came unexpectedly his way).

Cruise over to Hulu, and watch again, for the very first time Season 2, Episode 1, For Those Who Think Young, on the the very screen you're squinting at now!

Let me repeat: Yow! Bonus.
