that's google tv? it is more like connecting your pc to your TV.... no keyboard and mouse FTW!

[theshadowfan]

@kailaw I believe there would be a keyboard. You have to type in words.

Macbreak Weekly woop. Will this launch in other countries?

[theshadowfan]

@drummerkid1993 In order for Google TV to work, they have to sign deals with the broadcasters, TV providers, and hardware companies. I believe it'll take a while to reach other countries.

what event was this where they were showing it off?

[theshadowfan]

@rjccviii It was during Comic Con 2010.

OMG INTERNET PORN ON TV!

[ThatChubbyDude]

Wow! It's just like a computer!

[mellowdco]

this is ghetto Google... I can do this very basically with an HDMI cable and a little know how on keyword search. If you want to be innovative move into the mobile market with your tech... think about what I want to watch on my handhelds and the function to get there... what about "wattson" and the prediction technology of IBM? From my understanding the "transition" FROM TV will be because of practicality and function.

Can we play Minecraft ? online ?

[tylermattson]

I could see where watching videos on the internet could make this interesting, but the rest seems unnecessary... If you already have a laptop, just look up stuff there. Not worth the money, IMO. It's nothing more than a toy.

[MrLOKILLO15]

The reason why we have HD tv's is because because we don't want regular tv's!
