Hulu cancels the sale entirely

Hulu

After multiple rounds of sales and many people interested (including Google, Microsoft and more), Hulu announced on their blog yesterday that they are canceling the sale entirely. They did not find an offer that they felt suited their earning potential, so they are pulling the plug. To be honest I’m not sure how I feel about this, I really was hoping that Hulu could find a strong partner to help them strong arm some more cable content onto their service (especially next day FOX AND COMEDY CENTRAL). Follow the link to see what Hulu says in their blog about the situation, but at this time they are forging ahead on their own.

Blizzard Hacked Again! Are Virtual Goods Worth Too Much?

With the addition of Battle.net and authenticators, one would think that the age of mass password hacks would be over, sadly they are not. With virtual gold that’s often times worth more than some actual real world currencies, hacking a World of Warcraft or Diablo account can be worth a lot of REAL money. For instance in China, the average person is currently making around 665 Yuans a month or $104 U.S. (source) . This would mean that the theft of $100,000 WOW gold could net a Blizzard account pirate a month’s pay in China (as the average exchange rate is $10 for 10,000 WOW gold). If no market existed, the hacking wouldn’t be half as bad as it is today
