If you consider yourself ‘internet-savvy’ then you more than likely have taken a gander at Hulu. If not then go ahead and strip away your self-title moniker and go visit now.

Hulu is becoming a pretty big success, and it’s not real hard to see why. Free television, on your computer, and you can pick and choose what you want to watch. With actual TV, it’s a crap shoot sometimes to turn it on and actually find anything worth watching. With Hulu though, all of the content is there for me to pick and choose as I see fit. If I want to watch the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler video on Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton, I can at anytime. Or if I’d rather watch an episode of the The Office, it’s there too.

This freedom to be able to filter through content to me is a representation of how media is changing. Primarily through venues such as Hulu. To even further make Hulu more like television, they have added a ‘Channels’ drop down menu to the front page. The channels are divided into comedy, drama, science fiction, etc..

In my mind the only question that remains is not, Will platforms like Hulu dominate TV show viewing? It’s when?

There haven’t been any huge add-ons release for Google Chrome as of yet. There is one pretty cool program in which you can change the theme of Google Chrome. You will need XChrome , which installs the themes for you. There have been a few themes already released for Google Chrome:

Boston Red Sox Chrome Theme

FireFox Theme

Galaxy Theme

If you wish to create you own theme, you can find the Google Theme Creator software, here.

I know we’re all looking for something juicy to sink our scandalous teeth into, but don’t click on the Obama Sex Video link.

To elaborate, there is a mass email being sent with the subject line, “Obama sex video!!”. As much as it would shake up the election, the link is a fake. Not only is it a fake, it’s actually spyware.

If you do click on the link, you will be taken to some amateur porn. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you see it), Obama is not in it. What is in it, is a trojan horse that will install itself on your system.

The particular spyware that’s in the program will target Windows machines, and steal passwords and bank account information.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I always assumed Androids were chrome (underneath the human exterior). Well it appears that Google’s Android will be getting another polish of Chrome when the mobile OS launches later this month. The HTC Dream is slated to release sometime this year, so Google Android doesn’t have too long before launch.

Common sense would dictate that Google would want to put its new browser ,Chrome, as the standard browser on the Android powered phones.

In case you were still questioning this fact, Sergey Brin co-founder of Google had this to say to Cnet about the marriage, “We have not wanted to bind one’s hands to the other’s…Probably a subsequent version of Android is going to pick up a lot of the Chrome stack…My guess is we’ll have ‘Chrome-like’ or something similar”
