Mark Cuban recently bleated that anyone considering purchasing YouTube was a "moron". Michael Arrington has an early morning rumor "about a possible Google acquisition of YouTube that may be in the final stages before closing. Rumored price is $1.6 billion."
Arrington gives the rumor about a 40% chance of being real. (I'd give Cuban's original comment about a 90% chance of being self-serving.)
