Have you ever tried explaining how the Internet works to someone who isn't .. err, tech-literate? To this day, I still have a hard time explaining to my parents why they can't play Gostop online because of slow connections, or why they can't just push the power button instead of properly shutting down - don't even get me started on email.
Anyway, here's a nifty infograph that tries to tackle the wonderful, world-wide cacophony that is called the Internet (click to enlarge):

Hulu, I Love You - NOOOOOO!
Hulu is one of the greatest things on earth. I can watch tv episodes because the bf hates America and discourages the purchase of DVDs. But with talks hinting at the possibility of being charged to view shows on Hulu .. what am I to do??
At an industry summit in NYC on Oct. 21, News Corp Deputy Chairman Chase Carey revealed that online video hub Hulu will begin charging users for content as soon as 2010, according to Broadcasting and Cable. Carey told reporters that a subscription system is likely, although some content will probably continue to be offered free of charge. “I think a free model is a very difficult way to capture the value of our content. I think what we need to do is deliver that content to consumers in a way where they will appreciate the value,” he said.(ew.com)
I mean, I guess it's no big deal, especially since most networks show new episodes on their own sites. But even so .. damn you, Hulu.
