Veoh adds Hulu content, has no official relationship with Hulu

Veoh
Online video sharing site/portal Veoh has added full length television episodes to its lineup. Selected Fox and NBC shows including Family Guy, 24, and Heroes are available. But Veoh hasn't made any deals with Fox or NBC. Rather, Veoh is using the embedded video from Hulu, much the same way Hulu ripoff sites OpenHulu and TV Paradise do. The difference is that we kind of thought Veoh wanted to be the next YouTube, not the next ripoff artist.

Oh yeah, sure, Hulu makes their players embeddable, which gives anyone the ability and possibly even the right to place content on their own site. But when a startup like OpenHulu decides to clone Hulu.com it looks like a gimmick. When Veoh does the same thing, it looks like the company is too lazy to work out a real partnership with Hulu.

Of course, we probably shouldn't be surprised. This is the same company that launched VeohTV earlier this year. VeohTV is a standalone application for watching online video without a web browser. And some of that content comes directly from network web sites, even though Veoh did not get permission from those networks to include programming at launch.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
