This is just because of the naming conflict with their existing application.
I say that because the alternative is outlandish talk of Apple creating their own answer to YouTube.
Or perhaps they want these folks and their expertise to help them create some kind of 'shared video stream' in iCloud similar to what they just added for video.
Color Labs was founded by Bill Nguyen, who sold Lala to Apple back in 2009. What did Lala become? Ping ...
No it didn't. If It had then Ping might have been worth something. But the only parts of lala.com that were in Ping were being able to follow users and the matching your purchases. The rest, the really good parts of Lala.com like the one time streaming of any song you don't own and the instant playlists, never arrived. And to this day I say that is a huge mistake.
Just like it is a huge mistake that they have totally crappy metadata for their iTunes stores, especially the books and they haven't found a way to get around the contracts that let folks like Warners withhold shows etc from the store due to 'exclusive syndication deals' or a way to leverage quality upgrades and pricing downgrades with all access on all devices.
@[B]Ireland[/B], Nah, you don't want to be saying that. The last refuge of someone who doesn't get it, e.g., "Apple is a cult, it's all about the fruit logo . . ." etc.
