NBC, Fox, and others have launched Hulu.com where you can watch TV and movies for free, with limited commercials. I must say, it's very well done. The first time anyone (besides Apple) has done a good job with online media distribution. And since this is "free" I'm sure it will do very well. It's greatest flaw is no TV solution. This is fine for college students and whatnot, but normal adults do not watch TV on a computer screen.
I'm always annoyed when companies copy Apple rather than coming up with their own design or marketing. Adidias has just launched miCoach which is some online tracking system. We know the "i" is being overused everywhere. Shit, it's even in my website url, but mine is in credit of Apple.
The front page of hulu.com is a complete rip off of the Apple TV intro movie, a screen of tiled TV shows. Such a blatant copy. It's sad.
