Yes, you can watch Hulu on your Google TV
OK, so Google told Hulu they'd play nice and allow their Google TV browser to be blocked until the two companies could come to an agreement.
But here's the thing. Google TV devices ship with the Chrome App. Chrome comes with Flash. There's no reason it couldn't play Hulu content, right? Right.
And if there's one thing we know about Google and Chrome, it's that the Big G wants to bear hug developers. Those developers often need to test new their Web apps, and testing new Web apps means being able to tinker with your browser's user agent. See where I'm going here?
Yes, by quickly swapping the user agent in Chrome on Google TV you can fritter away your evening watching all that quality video you've come to enjoy on Hulu. GadgetWhore.com has complete details, so head on over.
Let the content access cat-and-mouse begin!
