Hulu Again Removed From Boxee and Again Added Back
An anonymous reader writes "In a mouse and cat game, Hulu the popular online content provider of shows, movies, and more has blocked Boxee yet again from accessing the Hulu content from the Boxee application. Just as Boxee added RSS feeds to include Hulu content, Hulu responded with blocking Boxee users from accessing the content via RSS feeds the very same day. RSS feeds are publicly available and it's really disappointing to hear that a site would block certain applications from accessing their content in such a manner. I would assume that the Boxee development team is currently working on disguising its browser to look like Firefox, Internet Explorer, or some other known browser in an attempt to fool Hulu."
They're aliens.
And that's how they roll.
I blame 4Chan.
Goo goo g'joob.
It's never stopped anyone else...
openness of Hulu
Ah! Is this an oxymoron contest?
My turn then: "Atheism of the Pope"
You can't take the sky from me...
That movie would have been 1000% better if they'd tried to invade on a rainy day.
This is a joke. I am joking. Joke joke joke.
Your post earns a big "goodie for you".
No matter how they engineer it, someone can possibly scrape their streams
As long as they don't CROSS their streams. That would be bad.
The aliens who invaded probably just couldn't read the hazard warnings left in the fields by smarter aliens :P
Honestly, I don't know the full history of this story, nor how exactly Hulu works.
This is the point where you should have canceled your post.
