Hulu Accepting Bids, Could Sell for $2 Billion
Like UnlikeIt's no secret Hulu's owners want to sell the video streaming service, but what isn't isn't yet know is who will buy it and how much Hulu will fetch. Hulu set a deadline for Wednesday for suitors to submit their initial bids, and this could turn out to be a multi-billion dollar deal, according to The Wall Street Journal.
WSJ is getting its information from "people familiar with the matter" who claim the bids are likely to vary wildly depending on what TV shows Hulu lines up, as well as other factors, such as how long before shows would stream on Hulu after they air on television, and length of agreements with Hollywood studios.

Google Fiber Goes Live Near Stanford
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google announced last October that they would be beta testing their Google Fiber initiative in a small residential neighborhood affiliated with Stanford University, and one lucky Redditor posted the results. The service is being provided free to the faculty and staff of Stanford that live just off campus and the speeds are mostly unheard of in this country. This beta test, of course, comes ahead of the roll-out of their Kansas City experiment in 1 Gbps fiber internet service. Speedtest results linked and pictured below for you to drool over.

Android (Finally) Taking Steps Towards WebKit And Chromium
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleChromium OSAndroid
Why isn’t Chrome a part of Android? It’s a question as old as time itself. Or at least a few years old. But given that the same company, Google, makes both products, it never made much sense. Now they’re finally taking steps to resolve this. A bit. Maybe.
As a group of Googlers have announced on the WebKit-Dev group today (relayed by Google’s Peter Beverloo), the Android team is now committed to working more closely with the WebKit community. Yes, it’s a bit odd that a product so devoted to “open” wasn’t really working with the open source community before — but hey, better late than never.

I don’t know how many developers webOS claimed, but that number is likely at least 1000 smaller, with more than 1000 webOS developers responding to Brandon Watson’s call for them to take up Windows Phone 7 development following HP’s assassination of webOS.
The call had been widely covered in the media, and is even pulling in developers from other platforms, including Android and Symbian.

The case has been rumbling for a while but Microsoft is finally having its day in court with Google’s new fiancé, Motorola.
Microsoft’s case against Motorola at the ITC in Washington has started today.

Evernote for iOS updated with rich text support, password security
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 4
Popular note-taking service Evernote has updated its iOS app for the iPhone and iPad with a number of new features that bring it to parity with the Windows Phone and Android versions of the app. Most notably, the Evernote app for iOS now supports rich text editing and password security options.
Apparently adding rich text support to the iOS version of Evernote was not as easy as it was on other platforms, so the company is quite excited about it. With rich text editing, you can add styled text, such as bold, italicized, or underlined text, highlight existing text, add URLs, create header text, and make lists.
