We are repeatedly told that sharing code will be considered an honor code violation. Additionally, the desire for competition is an inherent human characteristic.

Even though Pandora has been very friendly with Apple, I think Apple might discard a third party's product in favor of its own implementation, but I also think the bottom line is that Apple TV content is going to have get a major overhaul as part of a larger resuscitation, or else Apple will try and go elsewhere to capture those types of users.

But part of my curiosity and hope is that they still have invested interest in the possibilities of the Apple TV, and that this shift indicates a huge impending upgrade.
