last100: Hulu blocks Boxee, could Firefox, IE and Safari be next?

    I'd like to point out that 'making it more convenient' is in some ways tantamount to 'making it possible,' since, for a large portion of users, convenience is a key adoption requirement. While content owners may not have been troubled by a small number of earlier adopters, they may indeed be troubled by any technology that helps bridge the gap. I'm not arguing for or against their action, but I thought the point deserves clarification.

    In response to Drew, I think you are missing Steve's original point. The people using Boxee *already* have a computer connected to their TV. They could just as easily access Hulu via Firefox or Safari or IE. Boxee just makes a better experience of something they are probably already doing, or at least planning on doing. Hulu seems to think these people would not hook their computer to their TV without Boxee, and that strikes me as just wrong, imo.
