Today, Eric and Jeremy take a look at exactly why a television is such a perfect device for Apple. Eric also takes aim at frequent rumors that Apple's taking actions like attempting to acquire Netflix to shore up its content on the device. As Eric sees it, such a move would create needless friction with other content producers that Apple would like to court. In addition, most of Apple's profits to be made will come from hardware.
