Apple TV to support YouTube videos
Walt Mossberg knows how to get his Steveness to talk, it would seem. Jobs just announced that come mid-June Apple will be rolling out a new free feature for all Apple TVs: the ability to watch YouTube videos on the Apple TV. Hmm, and who owns YouTube? Oh, that's right... Google.I suppose this is one of those surprises that is meant to delight us. Works for me!

They better get some parental controls on this thing soon. The last thing you want is for an 8 year old to finish watching "Finding Nemo" and then click his way into the latest 19 year old whore stripping for her webcam on youtube.
