NBC Drops YouTube for Hulu

YouTube lost a provider of traditional media content on Sunday afternoon when NBC Universal pulled its clips from the site in preparation for the launch of its own site, Hulu.com. Previously, the company had maintained its own channel on YouTube with promotional clips from NBC shows.

Hulu will be a joint venture between NBC and News Corp., which owns Fox. Together they will host clips from shows including Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Family Guy and 24 on the new platform. Fox has already pulled its own shows from the internally owned MySpaceTV to make way for Hulu, which will host exclusive content.

Right now, Hulu only offers a bare-bones glimpse of what’s to come with an option to sign up for updates. According to a post from the site’s CEO in late August, it will enter a closed beta sometime in October.

Like many Apple Home features, these features are only available to iCloud+ customers. However, at the event, Apple didn’t notify which plans will get access to these features. Today, we get the answer in the release notes of macOS Golden Gate beta 3, and you are not going to like it.

Apple's decision to design its own chips reshaped the consumer electronics industry. Amazon may be about to make the same call, just about two decades later.

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Amazon is preparing to shift away from externally sourced processors for its consumer electronics lineup, marking what he describes as the company's first major processor procurement change in 20 years. The transition is expected to begin in 2027.
