Hulu adds a buffer indicator!

SWEEEEEEEET!

Hulu has added a buffer indicator on their video player!

For a user with a fairly slow Internet connection, this is a WONDERFUL addition. Online video tends to stutter on my machine when traffic is high. Now I can click on an episode, walk away, and when it's fully buffered, I can watch it!

Now if only Joost would do this. And South Park Studios.

Hulu adds a buffer indicator!

Oh, incidentally, that screenshot is of "Bones," a show Nate got me hooked on while I've been bedridden.

Hulu only streams to USAn IP addresses, it would seem... :-{{{{

Hmmm.... I wonder if there's a way to fool it into thinking it's streaming to a U.S. IP address. Surely there's a Canadian geek who's figured it out... need to search Google.
