Supersize You

Tube.  I love the latest trend of making online video more accessible to tv.  My tv capture card is pretty much obsolete now thanks to Hulu.  Not that I’m complaining or anything.  There are certainly worse things in life, like a 4 book series about some dumb high school girl, some vampires and werewolves.

Hulu A Step Closer

I have wrote before about ditching DirecTV for internet TV. Mostly this was possible with software like Vuze. Which had you downloading torrents.

> What? BitTorrents are used for downloading pirated content?  Say it isn’t so! Now I suppose you’re going to tell me that the Nigerian guy that I gave my life savings to is some sort of scam artist.  Citing copyright infringement concerns, Apple won’t include a BitTorrent client in the App Store.
