I Want My GTV
theodp writes "The NY Times reports that Google and Intel have teamed with Sony to develop a platform called Google TV to bring the Web into the living room through a new generation of TVs and set-top boxes. The three companies have tapped Logitech for peripheral devices, including a remote with a tiny keyboard. Based on Google's Android operating system, the TV technology runs on Intel's Atom chips. Google is expected to deliver a toolkit to outside programmers within the next couple of months, and products based on the software could appear as soon as this summer."
That must be why they developed blu-ray with TWO levels of encryption and region-locking, because they're moving to be more open.
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
And who still thinks Google's fingers aren't everywhere? This will be just another datamining source.
I've been a beta-tester for the "Google toilet", and let me tell you, friend: You don't know the half of it!
At first I had privacy concerns with my Google Toilet, but it has so many great features that I came up with a plan: for every one time I actually use the toilet, nine other times I'll flush down a goldfish or some coffee grinds. Knock it if you must, but security through obscurity works!
