Hillary Clinton Wants Web to Remain Free, Hulu Wants Videos to Be Anything But?

by Warren Riddle on January 22, 2010 at 11:55 AM

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • The recent Chinese Google hacks and various global Internet censorship campaigns have forced Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to adopt a hard-line stance on Web freedom. Clinton vowed that the "United States will protect our networks" and will fight for a "single Internet." [From: Ars Technica]
  • The rumors that Hulu may start charging for content have been circulating for months. According to the latest round of conjecture, the site will implement a $5 monthly fee that would allow subscribers to watch older material. [From: Engadget and Mashable]
  • The overall OS market share of Microsoft Windows has incrementally decreased over the past year, and has experienced another drop since December. That negative trend has occurred despite the early success of Windows 7, which has grown significantly faster than Vista and has even surpassed Mac OS in terms of usage. [From: Ars Technica]
  • NBC will be providing unprecedented, comprehensive Winter Olympics programming this year, as the network will reportedly offer over 800 hours of HD TV coverage. It will also provide an impressive 400 hours of streaming live material and 1,000 hours of on-demand footage, both of which will be available through the network's Web site. [From: Engadget]
  • According to Google engineer Matthew Papakipos, Google's eagerly awaited Chrome OS will incorporate a "lean and mean" media player. Google is apparently trying to make the wait unbearable, as the OS isn't expected to be commercially available for at least a year. [From: Engadget]
