Hulu Blocks Boxee Browser Entirely Gloves Get Ripped Halfway off

Reported to me by @budporter on twitter this morning.  Boxee has a bleeding edge release that contains and RSS reader that will allow you to watch Hulu again.  From the Boxee blog here ->

” Internet video on a TV brings into question many of the industry’s business models that developed before the web. that’s part of the reason why Hulu asked to be removed from boxee. our meetings over the past week weren’t able to change that. but the people in the industry “get it”. they are users. they read the blogs. they talk with users. they are trying to adjust to a new reality, but they need time.”

So I am stopping the Boycott of Hulu. This is a hard time for some of the people not ready to embrace technology. Things are changing, and rapidly. So lets give them the time.   Let me also say Thanks to all that signed the petition!  As technology changes we will continue to see things like this.

Even local News People, someone I would expect to embrace new technology don’t get it.  NBC13′s Mike Royer on his blog “I’m just all a”twitter” …so I better practice” where he appears to be making fun of it and not getting it.  Well its people like him and the content providers that need to either embrace technology or get out of the way.  It won’t stop and wait for ever, someone else who does get it will take your place.

For ideas and pointers of someone that does Get it, and does so very well check out Rick Sanchez on CNN.  He gets it.
