Fan fiction is usually poor i find. I think that surely only the owners of the characters can make money off them but anyone can do anything with them.
I realise this may seem obvious but their idea of keyboard free, web tv, doesnt hold any water with me. If you are interested in going online then you will get a computer, if you just want the best tv then you might not want to pay extra for it to be web-enabled. Suppose you have no choice, you get the web, never used it before and your hooked, before you know it you've bought a keyboard for the set top box, and then maybe a year later they develop a mouse for it. You'll soon realise that you have in fact got a computer than can run only a limited number of games and do a limited number of things and your paying over the odds for it.
So to clarify, they wont get people using their boxes until its more than just web access. Another point is my grandmother has trouble vchanging the chanel on the tv, no because shes blind or sick or ill, she just doesn't like it. The vcr has been taken away for someone to use, a web pad in her house will be useless. I only hope shell be able to manage digital tv when its forced on her in a few years time.
sorry, lost the plot. The point is it will be too much for too little. Think Amiga from Escom onwards.
Their Halewood Plant in Liverpool England, is being refitted this summer, ford have committed their shop floor workers to help maintain the local schools whilst the factory is being done. They've committed either £10,000 or £20,000 to raw materials, I cant remember which.
