Watch TV shows and movies from Hulu without leaving the comfort of your couch. If you’ve got an XBMC media center you’d be silly to not install this plugin (assuming you live in the US: Hulu is still blocked in all other countries). A couple weeks ago I discovered that Boxee on the desktop is dead. I was disappointed, but was thrilled to discover that XBMC is not only a capable replacement but better than Boxee.

Every once in a while, you come across a video that you think is so great that adding it to your favorites just isn’t good enough, so you seek to download it. This is relatively easy if you’re on YouTube. There are dozens of apps out there capable of getting the job done (YouTube Downloader [...]

There’s nothing worse than a program losing features, so it’s understandable that Boxee users are upset about Hulu’s latest outage in their favorite media center. Lucky there’s an easy fix. The enthusiastic community over at the Boxee forums found a way to get Hulu working on Boxee, at least for now. By masking Boxee so [...]

I’m a big fan of Hulu. It lets me catch up on my favorite shows, and, thanks to generous advertisers, doesn’t cost me a dime. Hulu has new programs, reruns, and full-length movies. One problem, though. Hulu videos stream in Flash video, and there wasn’t any way to download and save programs for mobile viewing. [...]

Adobe AIR is a runtime environment that, at its most basic, allows you to run lightweight programs on your desktop. The advantages are several ““ installing and uninstalling applications is easy, they’re simple to use, they’re standalone apps that interact with web and so on. But the coolest thing about Adobe AIR apps is that [...]

Hulu is a website that offers commercial-supported streaming video of TV shows and movies from NBC, Fox and a few other networks. Hulu is only available for residents of the United States (there is a workaround though) and uses Flash to encode and stream videos at resolutions up to 480p. Recently, they released a desktop [...]

I tried the SkyFire browser out when it was still in beta. It did exactly what it said it was going to do — that was, bring Flash to the mobile browsing experience along with fast and accurate webpage renderings. Well, it is officially out of beta now and I are going to give you [...]
