Hulu Plus Subscription Service is Here

By Ian Bell June 29, 2010

Online video site Hulu has launched a $9.99-per-month paid section, under pressure from its media company parents to generate a profit.

A new tab opened up on the site directing users to Hulu Plus, a section that shows current season episodes of “Glee,” “The Office,” “House,” and other shows from broadcasters ABC, Fox and NBC. The service also allows viewing of multiple back seasons of shows.

The new site is initially available by invitation only on computers, Apple Inc.’s iPad, iPhones and on TV using certain Samsung Blu-ray players. It’s coming soon to Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3, and there are plans to launch on Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox early next year.

A free, ad-supported version of Hulu remains available, but with only recent episodes of shows.

As more of our daily lives transition to the digital world, we open ourselves up to more cyber security risks. In 2023 alone, over 343 million people were the victims of cyber crime, according to Forbes. That represents a 72% increase in data breaches since 2021. Cybersecurity is more important than it has ever been.

The world is taking notice. Just this past August, the United Nations drafted its first treaty against cyber crime. Once enacted, the treaty will create a new convention with the purpose of “Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes.” Cyber crimes do serious damage to individuals, businesses, and entire nations.

GIGABYTE 16" Gaming Laptop Giveaway

I remember the days when a gaming laptop, or any laptop really, couldn't hold up against the power and performance of even a low-grade desktop PC. Not that I'm saying I'm older -- I'm middle-aged -- but there was definitely a time when laptops were not what you wanted to use for gaming unless you absolutely had to. That's no longer the case. Today, there are some incredibly powerful laptops that free you to play from just about anywhere, and that's not even including modern PC handhelds. A great example of this is the Gigabyte G6X 9KG gaming laptop which has a GeForce RTX 4060 and supports full ray tracing and Nvidia DLSS. It has enough power to run Black Myth: Wokung without issues and allow me to reiterate, that's possible on a laptop. Pretty impressive.

The best part, however, is that it won't drain your money. The Gigabyte G6X 9KG gaming laptop is only $1,300, but it also offers 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. Better yet, it has user-upgradeable options, as well, so it's flexible and customizable. Today's your lucky day. You have the chance to win this beast directly from Gigabyte.
