As reported by the Onion, America’s Finest News Source, consumers can buy back their own home videos from Steve Jobs’ Apple iTunes for only $1.99. Apple will not edit the videos, save for the Apple logo in the lower right hand corner of the video, which is done so Apple can help prevent piracy of its content. “Ladies and gentlemen, the future of home-video viewing is now,” Apple CEO Steve Jobs said at a media event Tuesday morning. “As soon as you record that precious footage of your daughter’s first steps, you’ll be able to buy it right back from iTunes and download it directly to your computer and video iPod.” As typical of Apple, the technology that captures the video directly from the creator’s camera is top secret. When asked about the technology behind the video capture, Jobs only mentioned that they have proprietary technology that is referred to as NUTs (nano ware, underwear and Tupperware combined).
One thing’s for sure, ot offers people an easy way to distribute content using the latest technology to a massive amount of people and not make a dime off it…and you’ll have to pay Apple like everyone else. It’s better than WeMix.com, Global Grind, YouTube, Veoh, StreetCred.com, Funny or Die, iMeem, iFilm, Google video, MySpace, Blip.tv, Metacafe, Yahoo! Video, PodShow, GrindTV, et.al.
