Those who are considering "buying" a Free Amazon Appstore app might want to consider what it means to developers.
Amazon.com opened up the Appstore despite a lawsuit by Apple, which has previously trademarked the term "App Store." Microsoft has filed an appeal against that trademark, saying the term is too generic. Amazon.com has responded to the lawsuit in the same manner.
Companies that missed the chance to register their trademarked names as ".xxx," a new Web domain, may find that others picked them up instead. Nobody wants a porn site with their name on it unless they do mean to do business as an adult entertainment site, the purpose of .xxx. And those who bought previously trademarked domain names may not find riches they're hoping for.
ICM Registry, the company in charge of issuing the sex site-related domain names, had a 52-day period in September and October for companies and organizations that wanted to claim an ".xxx" domain name for no other reason then to make sure no one else used their name. Among them: Disney, Target and Pepsi.
Many colleges and universities, too, rushed "to prevent their good names from falling into the hands of the pornography industry, the Associated Press said recently: "Over the past two months, they have snapped up tens of thousands of '.xxx' website names that could be exploited by the adult entertainment business."
But not everyone got in under the wire. For example, according to ICM Registry's records, a California man snapped up "Huffington Post.xxx." You won't get any result if you do a search for an actual "HuffingtonPost.xxx" website now, but in the coming weeks or months, who knows? When we contacted him, Justin Crews, the owner of the domain name, said he plans on selling the name to "anyone" who might be interested.
You remember that Hulu sale that was going on? Well, you can forget about it now. On Thursday, Hulu announced it had decided to "terminate" the sale process.
There were reportedly a lot of potential buyers for the video streaming site. At one time, they included Apple, Amazon.com, Yahoo!, Google, and Microsoft. However, reports were that the bidding wasn't high enough for Hulu management, and rumors that the sale might be terminated have apparently come to fruition.
Hulu issued the following joint statement on its website from News Corporation, Providence Equity Partners, The Walt Disney Company and Hulu’s senior management team:
“Since Hulu holds a unique and compelling strategic value to each of its owners, we have terminated the sale process and look forward to working together to continue mapping out its path to even greater success. Our focus now rests solely on ensuring that our efforts as owners contribute in a meaningful way to the exciting future that lies ahead for Hulu.”
Comcast is also part owner of However, as part of its acquisition of NBC Universal, Comcast was required to give up its management role in Hulu, and thus it didn't have a say in any decisions related to a sale.

YouTube is close to a full rollout of video rentals, something it has been testing since late January, according to a report. Only now is it launching the service in an all-out manner, however.
One potential holdup to the whole matter is a number of studios that have not signed onto the deal with Google. Those studios include Paramount and Fox and perhaps Disney, whose status is unclear. Meanwhile, Warner Bros., Sony, Lionsgate and Universal are among those who already signed deals to participate in the new YouTube rental service.
A senior executive at one of the Hollywood studio that has inked a deal with YouTube said,
"We think it will start with VOD, but broaden to include sell-through over time. We are pretty excited because we are happy to see new entrants come in transactionally rather than a subscription model."
The holdup is reportedly unrelated to YouTube per se, but rather its parent company, Google. Those studios that have still refused to sign are upset that Google about its treatment of pirate says. they want Google to take further steps including halting advertising on them, and no longer linking to them in search results.
Despite this, the service could launch as early as this week. Titles will be available on YouTube the same day that they appear on iTunes or video stores, and before subscription services like Netflix.

In-app purchases are finally coming to Android. This will allow developers to sell additional features or services, such as game levels and the like, from within their apps.
As with the App Store and its in-app purchases, we would expect the Android Market will get a cut of those buys. The APIs for in-app purchases are being released now; Google plans for the feature to go live to end users by the end of March.
Google has already begun working with a small number of developers to include the capability in their applications. In fact, one of those developers is Disney Mobile. Google has been working with Disney to get a slightly popular game on Android: Tap Tap Revenge, which has had over 50 million downloads.
