Oh, like the iPod, I wouldn't expect Apple to make it easy to steal TV. I assume any recorded shows would be locked for personal use only. The sharing would be for your own video. It's a strange concept, but one I think might work.
Just like the web, 10 years ago if someone said "Everyone in the world is going to be able to publish their own newspaper, basically for free" who would have thought it practical? That's basically what the web is. I'd like to see Apple give everyone a TV/Multimedia Channel in their living room.
I don't watch TV, but I can't even imagine the content that would spring up. Music video channels for undiscovered bands, music only channels, obviously Porn, propaganda, news clips that the major stations are too scared to show, ect.
This would be through a box that also controls your TV/PVR functions. Same box, same TV, same everything. Like now, there are no distinctions between corporate and non-corporate web sites aside from budget. Revolutionize the TV into something truly innovative and even interactive. Quicktime even has the ability to use Flash files.
Instead of trying to force the web onto a TV, force the TV in a new direction.
The thing is, Apple already owns everything necessary except the bandwidth which we all have to pay for ourselves anyway.</strong><hr></blockquote>
bunge,

Great now I have one MORE thing to be pissed about when Apple doesn't bring a box like this out on stage @ MWSF! Thanks alot bunge!
