The time has come to get your fix of high quality HD videos online care of Adobe and Hulu.

Hulu, the once laughable joint venture between NewsCorp and NBC, now supports streaming HD videos. 10 trailers are so far included in the newly introduced format, so no full length shows as of yet, but its a good introduction and testing ground. The HD content does take slightly longer to load and can be made full screen to a maximum 1280×720.
