Hulu Launches Desktop App For PC And Mac
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Tech
If you haven’t heard of Hulu, you’ve been living under a rock because even my nontech-savvy parents know what it is. In just two years, the website has significantly altered the TV/Internet landscape, and now the company is taking it one step further.Hulu has just released a desktop application that lets users access all of Hulu’s content without using a web browser. The app also works with both Windows Media Player and Apple remotes. To me, this is the soon-to-be future of television. The strange thing is that this is essentially the same idea behind what Boxee on the Apple TV, which has been thwarted by Hulu with every update to the service leading users to desperately try workarounds to continue to use Boxee. Maybe Hulu just wants to have total control over their content. But even with Boxee, you still saw the ads (Hulu’s source of income) so I don’t know why they would care. In any event, yay for Hulu Desktop. The release video is below.
