As Yahoo! continues to make moves to reinvigorate itself, a deeper relationship with Apple may have real potential.

Reports that Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) has approached Apple (AAPL 0.64%) in a possible attempt to deepen the relationship are beginning to look more and more accurate. Yahoo! looks to be pulling away from its relationship with Microsoft, potentially as a result of the fact that Apple leans on Google for search capabilities. Additionally, as Yahoo! makes other moves, a link up with Apple's media efforts makes sense.

In the video below, Fool.com contributor Doug Ehrman discusses the potential relationship between Yahoo! and Apple and what direction it might take.
