    Great. Now we can type stuff into the TV, get 500,000 irrelevant results, get distracted by an I Love Lucy rerun, and wake up 4 hours later trying to remember what we were looking for. Thanks again technology.

    For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
  2. Others working on this. by instinctdesign · · Score: 5, Informative

    Dremedia isn't the only one working on this. despite the Business 2.0 article's nearly sole focus on that particular company. A few others in the field include, and of course is not limited to, MediaSite (which looks to have recently been acquired by the audio and video editing software company Sonic Foundry), Virage, Pictron and Vodium. Its worth checking out each of the sites respective products page to see how they each are approaching this this new field.

    Don't bother.

    I'll just fast forward you to the last 2 sentences.

    Now we simply need all the other pieces of the interactive TV puzzle to fall into place. Don't hold your breath.
