Also: Netcraft confirms, BSD is dying. That is to say, I'll believe it when they turn out the lights. Until then, headline hyperbole ftw, or something. I don't

Also: Netcraft confirms, BSD is dying. That is to say, I'll believe it when they turn out the lights. Until then, headline hyperbole ftw, or something. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but one of the things they're expecting to make available with their pay model is stuff like HBO's series (Entourage was specifically mentioned, which, while not my cup of tea, implies that more of their catalog will also be available). Hopefully, that would mean Showtime's series, too. This is something I, and a lot of other people, would happily pay for. As others have mentioned, people are moving away from the cable/satellite model, and getting their teevee from the internet in increasing numbers. Hulu is incredibly well-positioned to make a stupid amount of money off that phenomenon, provided they aren't unmitigated idiots about it. (Say, putting all their content behind the pay wall, or charging subscription fees that are a substantial fraction of the typical cable/satellite monthly bill.)
