Hulu, the online video service, is in the market for a buyer.  Over the last few months, Hulu has been shopping around for the most lucrative offer.  While Microsoft stepped down from the bidding war, it now appears that Apple is interested.  According to a Mashable related article, two people who weren’t authorized to speak publicly, let it leak that Apple has stepped into the bidding negotiations.

With Hulu, people can enjoy directly from their TV lift cabinets, hundreds of television shows and movies for free.  To make this happen, Hulu is partnered with NBCUniversal, News Corporation, The Walt Disney Company, and Providence Equity Partners.  While people can watch free programs and movies, they do have to endure through lengthy advertisements as this is how Hulu makes money.

The bidding war may go as high as $2 billion, according to The Business Insider.  If rumor is true, Apple will be bidding against Yahoo.  The deal includes five years of programming including two

With all the outrage over Netflix’s price hikes, many former Netflix customers have been defecting to alternate streaming services. Two services that seem to be high on consumer lists of alternatives are Amazon and Hulu.

In the wake of the Netflix uproar, new developments have emerged regarding Amazon and Hulu. Amazon’s Prime streaming video service recently struck a deal with CBS to begin streaming 2,000 TV show episodes. This means Amazon will now offer full seasons of 18 TV series.  The agreement includes episodes of “The Tudors," "Numb3rs," and “Cheers”. All content can be streamed to a computer or directly to your TV lift cabinet.

Hulu is another heavy hitter in the world of streaming TV shows and movies. The company has hired investment bankers to oversee a potential sale of their service. Yahoo has come forward as a would-be buyer, if Hulu can agree to their terms. The terms are 5 years of exclusive access to Hulu’s content. If Hulu were to agree to the offer, the service would

Netflix announced on their blog on Tuesday, July 12^th that they plan to do away with their combined unlimited streaming and DVD by mail plans and increase pricing by 60%.  Of course, they tried to spin it as a positive solution for their customers.

“First, we are launching new DVD only plans. These plans offer our lowest prices ever for unlimited DVDs – only $7.99 a month for our 1 DVD out at-a-time plan and $11.99 a month for our 2 DVDs out at-a-time plan. By offering our lowest prices ever, we hope to provide great value to our current and future DVDs by mail members."

Now, as a Netflix customer myself and TV Lift Cabinet Owner, this paragraph clearly did not make sense to me.  Offering their lowest prices ever?  Um…how do you figure?

Let’s recap shall we.  Currently, Netflix customers enjoy an unlimited streaming plan for only $7.99 (which has not changed on their new price structure).  However, if Netflix customers wish to get DVDs by mail, they can at only a $2 increase

Have you gotten your movie tickets yet for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows – Part 2?  J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels have been entertaining families across the world since 1997 and movies for ten years.  Now, the last movie of the Harry Potter series is being premiered this week in the United States.

The grand finale is bittersweet for those who have been following the cast of Harry Potter for these last ten years.  On the one hand folks are excited to finally seen Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe) take on the evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) head to head.  We have been waiting patiently for Harry Potter to grow up and finally revenge his parents’ murder.  We have also been waiting for Ron’s (Rupert Grint) and Hermione’s (Emma Watson) love story to unfold.  I am told this comes to fruition in this last movie.  However as much as we wish to see the great battle and love story between Hermione and Ron, there is still a part of us who will be sad to say goodbye
