This is great news, since we’ll

In what is the first of many additions to the AppleTV offering (that’s an assumption on my part, folks) Apple today announced a partnership with YouTube. I could reword the press release…but why? Here it is… Apple® today announced that it’s bringing the Internet’s most popular originally-created content from YouTube to the living room with
