Google Blocks Chromecast Video Streaming App

What I find the most ridiculous about this, is the comments on the original discussion that claim "this is such an apple move" - and completely miss the fact the functionality Google never provided, and is now explicitly blocking, has been provided out of the box by AppleTV from the start.

I ordered two of these and think I will cancel the order. I want something that allows me to play my own, legally owned content.

Basically an update broke undocumented functionality that doesn't meant there won't be an option to stream local media, as Google explains:

We’re excited to bring more content to Chromecast and would like to support all types of apps, including those for local content. It's still early days for the Google Cast SDK, which we just released in developer preview for early development and testing only. We expect that the SDK will continue to change before we launch out of developer preview, and want to provide a great experience for users and developers before making the SDK and additional apps more broadly available.

I think the jokes are already on Gruber, his "comments" are getting tired and predictable.
