A) It’s funny.

B) It’s a great little retort to the “fire anyone who won’t put in 18 hour days at your startup” idiocies that have been supported this week by the likes of Scoble, Calacanis, etc. I guess we know who their hero is now.

I simply can’t imagine any of the poor saps working 18 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week for naught but $35k per year ever utter – “I should have worked more…”

:-D

Takes away a major reason to go there.</p> I’m a fan of Hulu, but the first time I really needed the service was this past week when I was traveling outside the US.

Here in the office, I "test" Hulu all the time and always liked to believe long-form video content powered by the Internet would have a bright future. With services such as Hulu, advances in bandwidth upgrades and optimization, and soon, televisions with built in wireless capabilities, I think it won't be too long before we can start watching Airwolf in the living room.</p> Om, I’m really happy to hear you came around to Hulu.
