Americans consume 33 billion online videos in December 2009
There's more though -- here's some breakdown: those 13 billion YouTube videos were watched by 136 million viewers, or 97 videos per user. By comparison, Hulu viewers only watched 23 videos each in December. It goes steeply downhill from there -- next are Yahoo and Fox, pulling only 9 video views per user.
If you were as surprised as I am about Hulu, get this: Hulu only has 44 million unique users, but still broadcasts twice as many videos as the next site.
I think Europe's ready for a similar TV-on-demand service... y'hear me, American media outlets?
The Illusionist's Dream is a simple platformer; you play as a magician who needs to get through each level by transforming into any number of animals that you encounter along the way.
Each animal can do different things; the butterfly can obviously fly, but if it encounters a frog, the frog eats it, and you have to start over again. There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...

Yes, but only for programming that originates in the UK :)
The most pirated TV is stuff like 24, Heroes, Lost...!

P, you misread. The journalist Sebastian wasn't talking about 13 bil. PEOPLE; he was talking about 13 bil. videos out of the total 33 bil. online videos (39.3%, close to 40%) viewed in the mo. of Dec...

"Consumed"? I supposed contextually the wording might be considered 'correct'. However when I saw this "headline" I immediately wondered if I needed to get some nice horseradish sauce or a hot mustard...be honest-didn't most of you think you would be reading an article about food or drink?

Sorry, whenever I write about American culture I always tend to lean towards the word 'consume'.
It's the whole 'consumerist' thing -- and it's spreading to Europe!

33 billion. Oddly enough, that's the same number of stupid pills swallowed by voters who chose Republican candidates.

I thought it was going to be 33 billion hits of acid. My mistake. But then again, it sure would explain alot of things, wouldn't it..??

Europe's ready? How about the rest of North America first. Canada no longer has access to Hulu, which is something that severely needs rectified, imho.
