As a complete aside from the article, someone I follow twittered the following yesterday:

watching Topless Pillow Fight on Boxee. check it out at http://www.hulu.com/watch/2... 5:48 PM Jan 15th from boxee

This isn't meant as a criticism of Boxee, but it does highlight an interesting aspect of life streaming. At what point don't I want my friends to know what I am doing, let alone the public? It's probably possible to activate a "porn mode" in Boxee but who's going to remember to do that for a single impulsive click on Hulu?

This is where data privacy needs to be thought about. If it's too much trouble for a user to filter, how do you filter for them?

As of right now I don't think there's any private mode in Boxee, just FYI.
