Hulu Fix

History

On August 24, 2011, Hulu decided to block video access to Touchpad users everywhere with no application in sight. This fix allows access to Hulu again, but may impact other Flash objects on the internet. What is affected is unknown at this point.

On August 26, 2011, this is now an installable patch within the WebOS-Internals patch feed using Preware.
