Hulu is now allowing iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch to access it’s service.
The only catch is, you need to use there app, and it costs $9.99 to use.
That’s right, you need Hulu plus to watch Hulu on Apple’s devices.
You get to also watch all the back catalog of videos.
Oddly there is still ads.
Hulu is still U.S only at the time.
Chrome has 9% market share just ahead of Safari at 8.8%. Internet Explorer and Firefox still dominate with 52%, and 28%. Source: StatCounter.
Good to know that Chrome is moving on up

Google today enabled a new feature in gmail allowing the quickview/web view of .doc attachments.
This helps for those who don’t gave office installed, or just want to quickly preview an attached document.
Lately some users have had problems with there new iPhone4′s – it drops bars if you hold it at the bottom.
This is because the new iPhone4′s antenna is at the bottom, and part of the case.
It’s natural for a phone to lose reception because humans do create electrical interference.
Steve Job’s recommends that you hold it at the top, or buy a case.
OpenDNS today launched a new free service of theirs called “FamilyShield”.
Family shield does the following:
“What does FamilyShield block?
- Adult websites that are unsuitable for kids
- Proxy and anonymizer sites commonly used by savvy kids to bypass traditional Web filters
- Phishing sites that aim to trick you into handing over personal or financial information
- Some virus-spreading malware websites “
As usual the service is free. The even better part of it, is that it doesn’t need an account for it to work. All you need to do is change the DNS settings on your router, or on your child’s computer to:
Don’t want Apple to keep a record of what advertisements are displayed. Don’t want Apple to know where you are?
Don’t want Apple to help deliver relevent iAds on iAds for iOS4? No problem.
If you want to opt-out on being tracked by iAds on iOS4, all you have to do is visit oo.apple.com.
It will stop Apple from recording information via iAds, so you will get less of a relevent experience.
It however does NOT block iAds.
Note: You will have to visit the opt-out site every-time you clear cookies on devices running iOS4, and on each device.
Firefox 3.6.4 is now out.
Crash protection (on plugin crashing) is now available.
That way if flash crashes (it happens a lot) then Firefox won’t die out completely.
Like Safari, IE, or Chrome, Firefox is now able to crash with less collateral damage.
“Firefox 3.6.4 provides uninterrupted browsing for Windows and Linux users when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins.”
Unknown if Mac users will benefit yet from crash protection.
iOS4 aka iPhone OS4 is now out.
