Oh ma-a-n…are we ever gonna have more TV now. Couch potatoes rejoice. Put’chy laptop on y’lap, chain it t’ye face an make sure it has a remote clicker. Cause it’s gonna have TV on it. Google’s goin’ inta TV!
Here’s whut Reuters had t’say: “Web search king Google Inc on Thursday showed off a risky attempt to marry the Web to television and reach the $70 billion TV advertising market, chasing a dream that has eluded even archrival Apple Inc.
“Developers at a conference applauded “Google TV,” and a slew of tech industry titans, including microchip maker Intel Corp and TV maker Sony Corp, sent their chief executives to announce that they had joined the project and that TV sets would be ready in time for Christmas buying.”
Hang on air. Not on y’laptop? We gotta buy another TV? Hold on while I search for an advantage f’me.
They go on: “The key to Google TV is an on-screen search box, just like on Google’s Web site. The TV search box accesses Google’s search engine to look through live programs, DVR recordings and the Web, delivering a relatively compact list of results that can be accessed with a push of the button.”
Duh-h-h! They’re celebratin’ puttin’ a new Google search box in my life? An it’s gonna be on a new TV I gotta buy so I can do more Google searches? An it’s all so Google can stick more ads in my face?
Joy, joy, joy!!! I cain’t wait. Won’t it jist be thrillin’ t’jump outta bed ever mornin’, run t’my TV an turn on my Google search tools so I can see all them ads I missed while I wuz asleep?
Thank I’ll be able t’git back t’that food chopper infommercial I went t’sleep on last night? Lemme at one’a them new Google thangs! ‘Ey say I can git one by Christmas? But I wont one now!
