[...] Rumors usually get pretty crazy around MacWorld time. During last year’s Intel announcement, I heard that all press in attendance would get new notebooks but that didn’t happen. This one is probably just a rumor but if we think along the lines of iTV on its way, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea. http://www.pvrwire.com/2006/12.....gt;PVRWire thinks that a partnership is highly unlikely but a licensing deal may be a possibility. TiVo has brand name recognition but declining market share. Apple has undeniable power, especially considering the amount of movies they’ve been able to sell for Disney on iTunes, but they have absolutely zero footing in the television market. They need each other. Problem is, Apple doesn’t often admit to needing anything or anyone. [...]

Tue, 03 Oct 2006 04:42:49 +0000

[...] One of the problems that we will find with DivX is that all it will take is a little bit of interest or lack of interest and the stock can really move. While the market cap currently stands at $745 million, the actually number of shares that are floating in the market is really closer to about $200 million. This means that if good news comes out you can expect that the stock will surge, but with a little bit of pessimism you’ll see the stock come crashing down. This makes the company ideal for big money hedge funds that can profit from the volatility, but individual investors need to think twice about their comfort with volatility before considering a company like DivX. Because of the small float, the most important piece of advice that Cramer gave his audience was to make sure to use limit orders with this stock. Limit orders don’t ensure that you will end up getting stock, but they do ensure the price that you are willing to pay for the company. This is important with thinly traded stocks like DivX because if demand exceeds supply you will find that the stock gaps up significantly as it takes much higher prices to bring new sellers to the market.

Marshall, you forget something. It’s not only about the professional videos. Google video also has amateurs like me. I would love to have this service. That way I can sell my amateur videos through that service instead of having to burn DVDs. Here are some simple scenarios:

- Wedding videographers can upload and sell the videos
- I can share my edited videos with family
- Teens sharing their videos with each other
- Dating service videos

The possibilities are endless. It’s all good.

Apple are really going to call it iTV? I don’t think they will be able to sell it in the UK then, We already have a TV network called ITV.

Does it even matter? Whether it will be locked up (probably) or broad open, iTV wil be cracked and hacked beyond recognition, and it will be turned into a configurable home entertainment system that can play anything you want. It’s simply a matter of time, and seeing the discussions have already started about how to do this, I don’t think it will take too long.

>There’s no word yet whether ripped DVDs or
>other files will be viewable through iTV.

My bet would be on “yes.” It seems to be pretty similar in function to the FrontRow application on Macs. That app can play un-DRM’d movies. There’s really no good reason why the iTV should be able to do the same.

To pwb… the big deal about low resolution in this case is that, as others have said here, one wouldn’t want to watch pixelated low-res videos on their HD or plasma TVs. That’s just geeky to the point of being dumb!

Funny that people complain about resolution when low resolution is *the* critical attribute of YouTube that made it successful where everyone else had failed with QuickTime, Windows Media, Real and other higher quality offerings.

I like the idea of taking all the videos I bookmark on Google Video and being able to watch them on my tv.

Also the iTV box could have voive recognitive software to listen to tv programmes and send you content relative ads.

If a news story mentioned say “U2″, a click could let us watch a video of U2. We could also get a search box on our tv screens controlled by the itv remote and perform on screen searches.

Your RSS feed of Rocketboom could be fed to the iTV and played during the tv ad breaks!.

Or if CNN was covering a story on eg: “Micorsoft Zune launch” we could with a click of a button get the view of scoble, arrington and others on that topic in text and or video.

Or a buy now button. You like the song being played in an ad for the new Ford or GM?. You make two clicks and its downloaded onto your Mac/iPod and streamed to your tv ready to listen in full.

For speculation purposes, There are a number of different scenarios that could play out here. One of them being:

Google positioning google video to be the premier destination on the web for
consumer generated video and video search by cutting a deal with Apple to
stream content through iTV to your TV. Now, the only thing that remains to be seen is if iTV takes off, and if it does google would enjoy a distinct advantage over all the other video services, including YouTube. Who wouldn’t want their video to be on t.v.?

An interesting move, espescially with YouTube growing as quickly as it is. Free content is what Apple will need to help iTV get off the ground quickly enough to truly beat Microsoft in the home entertainment race. Not to mention the indie crowd will want to share their “web finds” to more than just their computer geek friends. It has been proven again and again that people are interested in content over quality on the web, and quality over content in the living room. Can’t wait to see how Apple is going to tackle the low quality streaming issues- I’m sure Steve and Eric have something big up their sleeve

To PXLated… my point exactly. Why would either Google or Apple want to battle the other? Why not combine forces and leave everyone else in the dust?

This would be really cool, but isn’t the resolution really low on Google video? It would look like junk when upscaled for a TV or Projector…

Mix all this up…
Akamai: Worldwide network
Apple (an early investor in Akamai): wifi full-screen video iPod, wifi iTV, wifi/Voip/cell iPhone, other nifties
Google: dark fiber, data centers. content search, ad network, wifi experiments/experience

What do you have? An end run around everyone?
The possibilities could be endless.
