Apple iTunes Upsampling Higher Resolution Videos?

An anonymous reader writes "Engadget has a revealing look at Apple upsampling some of their new 640x480 videos from lower quality 320x240 videos. In fact, their upsampling appears to produce lower quality videos than quickly upsampling yourself with Quicktime. The worst part may be that Apple is charging people to download these new higher resolution videos even if they've already purchased the original, so people are essentially paying for nothing."

My kingdom for mod points! This post reflects the exact way I feel about Apple. It hurts my brain when I see Apple's commercials about how "PC's are only good for work" and how "PC's tried that "Fun" thing once and didn't like it"...what the fuck? When was the last time they tried to load up a decent game on a mac...oh that's right...fucking Starcraft! Apple propoganda maddens me to no end. Back on topic...this article/issue has no real effect on my opinion as I get all my music from CD's and rip them without DRM to my mp3 player that acts as a mass storage device so I don't have to use any proprietary bullshit programs like iTunes to get my music onto them.
