According to The Wall Street Journal, Google is planning to acquire the video sharing site for $1.6 billion. Analyst Trip Chowdhry says that it’s damn cheap for a company that already has a global presence. This rumor is not yet being confirmed by either party. YouTube commanded 46% of visits to U.S. online video sites in August compared to 23% share for the video activities of News Corp.’s MySpace social-networking site, and 10% for Google Video, according to market research firm Hitwise.

    Hey guys,
    I have an iMac G5 running tiger 10.4.7 and I an having a wierd problem. Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue.

    Help Would be awesome
    Thanks!
