Well according to BusinessWeek, one of any teenager's must-reads, NBC and News Corp.'s newly launched Hulu video site, is sure to appeal to the youngsters. But beyond that, the piece says that the massive media conglomerates are finally starting to get how to design these sorts of things. From a clean layout to fast, high-quality video, without getting in the way with all the usual muck, even we tend to agree that the whole thing feels pretty good (albeit maybe a little too Apple-y).

"It's a simple, high-quality streaming experience."
