Hulu to require Cable TV subscription

Hulu, which attracted 31 million unique users in March under a free-for-all model, is taking its first steps to change to a model where viewers will have to prove they are a pay-TV customer to watch their favorite shows, sources tell The Post. It’s like they’re trying to chase their customers away!

Hulu needs to figure out what its mission is.

Audio (MP3): 20120415 - Unrelenting Happiness

Feelings need not always be put into words. They can just be felt, like tigers or butterflies, snake bites or feline purrs. After they’re done (and even if they’re not), open your heart to the love, to the glow of the Universe. It’s there waiting and it’s yours. It’s your right, your entitlement and a perquisite to unrelenting happiness.

Nature Gave Us Four Kinds of Happiness | Psychology Today

Oxytocin happiness is triggered when we trust those around us. It promotes bonding between mother and child, and between sex partners. It’s stimulated when you’re with a group of like-minded people, or when you get a massage. But we did not evolved to feel oxytocin happiness all the time because there’s no survival value in trusting people who are not trustworthy.

Good stuff.

Ranger zaps off-leash dog walker with shock weapon

A Montara man walking two lapdogs off leash was hit with an electric-shock gun by a National Park Service ranger after allegedly giving a false name and trying to walk away, authorities said Monday.[…]

Witnesses said the use of a stun gun and the arrest seemed excessive for someone walking two small dogs off leash.

“It was really scary,” said Michelle Babcock, who said she had seen the incident as she and her husband were walking their two border collies. “I just felt so bad for him.”

Babcock said Hesterberg had repeatedly asked the ranger why he was being detained. She didn’t answer him, Babcock said.

“He just tried to walk away. She never gave him a reason,” Babcock said.

The ranger shot Hesterberg in the back with her shock weapon as he walked off, Babcock said.

“We were like in disbelief,” she said. “It didn’t make any sense.”

Rancho Corral de Tierra has long been an off-leash walking spot for local dog owners. In December, the area became part of the national park system, which requires that all dogs be on a leash, Levitt said.

The ranger was trying to educate residents of the rule, Levitt said.

Education with a side of taser.

Adrenaline junkie plans extreme leap — from space

You’ve heard of skydiving, right? How about space-diving?

Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian skydiver, BASE jumper and adrenaline junkie who hopes to set the record this summer for the highest skydive ever.

If all goes well, Baumgartner will use a pressurized capsule attached to a high-altitude helium balloon for a “stratospheric flight” to more than 120,000 feet. “He will then exit the capsule and jump — protected only by a pressurized ‘space’ suit and helmet supplied with oxygen — in an attempt to become the first person to break the speed of sound and reach supersonic speeds in free-fall before parachuting to the ground,” according to jump plans.

For my dive, I will leap from the ISS into a pint sized cup of water.
