Is Hulu Doomed? NBC To Begin Offering Free Downloads

Is Hulu Doomed? NBC To Begin Offering Free Downloads

I know that one day all entertainment content (TV's, movies) will be accessible on demand and delivered over the interweb. I saw it Quest commericials 8 years ago.

But, as I track all the moves of world's finest content creators I get a headache. Hulu, iTunes, Amazon, Yahoo, AOL, their own websites, smart people at these content companies are trying to figure out how to best monetize their product. God bless em, its a hard job. Tech geeks bloggers by the dozen rip content creators because they are preventing the world from realizing the Quest commercial.

Just because something is technically possible doesn't mean it deserves to happen.

Directors, writers, movie stars, need to get paid... Alot ... and so do studio exec's. If you don't like it move to Cuba.

Here's why nobody's figured all the content everywhere model. There isn't enough money in it yet. If all the ad dollars chased nerds with the best computers and fastest connections, TV content would be everywhere.

Alot of ad dollars sell toothpaste, Coca Cola, Camry's. Too many people that buy those products see too much buffering on the internet, the experience compared to TV sucks. When the hardware delivers an equal viewing experiences to TV, people will move to it in mass. That's when the ad money will be there, only then will the studio's and networks make real bold commitments.

So take deep breathe nerds, you'll get your Heroes on demand, everywhere soon enough. Walmart America just needs better hardware.

Gadget Ads!

Gadget Ads!: "M, "

Seriously Google. Go pound salt. You never let advertisers run ads through their own rich media ad servers on your network. The only ads that Google could run are text and standard flash ads.
For years, everywhere else on the internet I could run rich, interactive ads, that pull from databases, with video, etc.

Now, FINALLY, you allow advertisers to run the same ads on the Google Network that I could run everywhere else 3 years ago. You call it a Gadget, pop champagne bottles and we're all supposed to be impressed.

I know your secret Google. You changed the game with search and your chasing the game everywhere else. Maybe you've got enough cash and talent to innovate again, but this ain't it, not by a long shot.

Love,
The internet scrooge.

Game Life - Wired Blogs

Here's a story about a guy that see's a problem and is doing his part. He wants to make sure American kids work hard, get good grades, and can do his/her ABCs and 123s before he learns how to play Madden 2008. So Gamestop fired that crazy bastard.
