    @Noobs-R-Us: I understand where you are coming from, but the analogy I'm gonna use is this: What if you own a house and your neighbor starts watering your lawn for you, without asking. You're happy at first and grateful to your neighbor. Then you realize that your neighbor is over-watering your lawn and killing it. Since, technically, your neighbor should never have started watering your lawn, you make them stop. Google basically thought that it was helping them, but have realized that it is now hurting them, so they want it to stop.

    In reply to YouTube Shuts Down API Access, Leaves Set-Top Boxes High and Dry (UPDATED)
    I can understand Goog's reasoning. It is a costly operation and I think we take it for granted. Placing ads in videos has helped ease the burden. Youtube is a business and shouldn't have to tip toe around the issue of other companies making money by playing videos on their devices. It would make sense from Google's point of view to work with these manufactures for some method of placing the ads in their devices. Obviously there is the issue of not being able to click through, but I'm sure Google can come up with a solution.

    I would hate not having the youtubes. Where else can I see fat kids get kicked in the nuts. Might as well let Google follow it's business model of supplying free, ad supported, internet based services. What ever keeps stupid people hurting themselves on video.

    So, is it safe to assume that the AppleTV (wassat??) and the iPod touch will still be able to freely access Youtube? I can't imagine they'd be shut out, but given their recent friction, I can't rule it out.

    @Azures: Apple has a great deal more pull than a lot of those other hardware vendors out there, namely the likes of the purveyors of Popcorn Hour. Apple made a big deal about its addition to the ATV, and I doubt very much that they'd let it simply disappear. Not to say that there's no possible way that Google would take it away, but I don't believe it would be as easy to do it to Apple.

    In reply to What Netflix On the PS3 Actually Looks Like
    It is exciting this is finally out, but what I am curious about is why it took so long? Clearly this was not a rocket-science situation, both platforms should have had Netflix ages before it was released. So, what happened? Was it to get Microsoft to pay for the exclusivity of forcing PS3 owners to put a disc in the drive? (Wow, that was worth the price, Ballmer - putting discs in drives is almost as exhausting as shaking a fruit juice bottle.) Does Netflix just not have coders available? Or maybe Sony is paying for this program somehow?

    Sorry, just my usual Friday afternoon round of confusion. #netflixps3
