Google and Apple Finally Teaming Up?

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."

Youtube videos look like shit at their normal resolution - I never run them fullscreen because they are so blocky. I can only imagine a 42" SoaP fan video at threegrainy x toosucky resolution. At least google video supports varying resolutions, some of which don't utterly suck.

I am glad that two innovative companies would link up to give a positive impetus to streamed TV. But Apple will have to change its product's name: ITV is a British news channel that is internationally known and trademarked.
