Streaming Killed the Video Mart
Sep 26th
Blockbuster, the giant of the the movie rental business, is going into bankruptcy. It might not be shutting its doors just yet; but many people are saying that the writing is on the wall, and the wall says streaming online videos will kill even the largest video store.

Who would go to the cinema and pay for movies when they could just as easily watch movies and television shows More >
Netflix Set to Offer Streaming Videos for Canada
Sep 21st
Finally, some good news on the online streaming front for Canadians. It’s bad enough that we are shut out of the hulu market and aren’t able to stream TV shows on the major US network sites (getting those blasted proxy servers to work is a real pain!), but we also have not had any decent options for a streaming movie service (other than our local cable providers, whose prices are outrageous). With video streaming being the next big paradigm shift in the entertainment sector, the introduction of Netflix into the Canadian market is welcome news indeed.

Will You Pay $10 for Hulu?hulu, tv, str
Apr 24th
Why pay for something that is already free? Hulu, one of the top video streaming websites (second only to YouTube), is planning to add a new $10 per month premium service called Hulu Plus. Does that mean that you will have to start paying to stream TV shows? No. You see, if you use Hulu for free you can only view the last five episodes of a show; if you pay $10 (ok $9.95) and become a premium user, you will be able to plumb the depths of the archives and watch any episode you can find.
