Hulu Desktop from Hulu - Labs →
Hulu released Hulu Desktop for Mac and Windows. Can I finally watch Gossip Girl on my projector (without a Boxee hack)? Maybe not since Hulu Desktop supposedly requires 2GB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz Core Duo 2. Pretty steep requirements for 480p video, but that’s what happens when you write desktop software in ActionScript. We’ll see how it works out with my 1.83GHz / 1GB Mac Mini.

Luxury vs. Premium →
I don’t always agree with Seth, but I almost always agree with John Gruber agreeing with Seth. Apple is a premium brand, not a luxury brand. In technology, premium scales, luxury doesn’t.
