By John Hiesler: Despite rumors over the past few months that Hulu was on the verge of being acquired, it appears that the streaming video site won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

You know, for as esteemed as they might be, both Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal are fast proving to be less than reliable when it comes to Apple rumors.

Apple’s cash hoard now rests at about $76.2 billion, and for a company reluctant to pay out any dividends, it’s only natural to wonder what in the world Apple plans to do with all that cash.

After months of speculation, Hulu today announced via its official blog the arrival of “Hulu Plus”, a new ad supported subscription based service available for $9.99.

Check out this video footage from the San Francisco Game Developers Conference of a Palm Pre loaded with a pre-release version of Flash 10.1. The user tries to load up Hulu to no avail, and then plays some jittery Flash game that is anything but impressive. More concerning, though, is how utterly unresponsive the Palm [...]

About a week ago, we reported on a rumor suggesting that the team over at Hulu was tinkering with the idea of making all of their content (currently in Flash) compatible with the iPad.
