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."

    And who still thinks Google's fingers aren't everywhere? This will be just another datamining source.

    These idiots are just upset at Sony because either:

    a) they crushed their inferior HD DVD bandwagon they prematurely jumped on.
    b) they bought an Xbox as it was first out the gate (but broken), and Sony came up with something much better soon afterwards

    The rest of us just buy Sony products, because they are usually very good quality for a small additional premium.
