Google and Apple Finally Teaming Up?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the peanut-butter-in-the-chocolate dept.

nieske writes "Rumors are spreading about Google and Apple teaming up to form a video alliance. Google might provide streaming video content for Apple's upcoming iTV, which was revealed in last week's Apple event. The only thing that seemed to be missing in the iTV preview was streaming video, and with Google's Eric Schmidt on the Apple board of directors, this alliance might actually not be so far-fetched."

    Any apple project is 15 years from conception to delivery.
    I guess that means any Microsoft project takes 30 years from theft to aborted delivery.

    The iTV is based on equal parts marketing, product mock-ups, and Reality Distortion Field :)

    The true question is if the Earth is a large enough mass to contain the resulting Fanboy pride. Two perfect entities, merging together into something better than perfection? The mind cannot retain its sanity in the fact of such truth, anymore than it can gaze upon the face of God.

    Whole religions were started for less my mortal brethren.
