HBO confirmed that it is mulling a way to deliver its TV Everywhere service to Chromecast, Google’s popular $35 streaming adapter.

Getting HBO GO would give Google another anchor tenant for Chromecast, an adapter that plugs into the HDMI slot of TVs and is controlled by laptops, smartphones and PCs.

In the Chromecast model, much of that device functionality lives in the cloud.
