I think everyone saw this one coming as well, as it looks like YouTube is getting their feet wet with renting movies through its service. Hopefully if this takes off a bit, YouTube might invest a bit more in having a 10′ UI somewhere…or maybe they’ll just be happy being part of Boxee and Roku? NewTeeVee YouTube just announced on […]

Given how hard Hulu was fighting other services from streaming their content, I can’t say anyone should be too surprised.
