Why Will Google TV Be Any Different From WebTV? Or... →
“The simple fact is that cable companies like Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner (TWX) not only distribute the majority of the set-top boxes in the U.S, they also have a strong hold over content providers. Unless Google can convince them that their current business model is in need of something like Google TV, pushing the platform into the mainstream is likely to prove quite difficult.”

Nintendo Singles out Apple as "Enemy of the... →
Following Apple’s sale of 1 million iPads in 28 days and the rapid decline of netbook sales, I do not think Nintendo is the only company worried about the future. “Nintendo is reportedly worried due to its first drop in profits since 2004 and a corresponding rare drop in the number of DS gaming systems.”

Ellen’s version of the iPhone commercial. This is one of the most delightful iPhone commercials I have seen and I absolutely love it. Too bad Ellen had to apologize to Apple for making the iPhone look like it is difficult to use. Well, at least she made the apology somewhat funny and everyone got a good laugh out of it. It’s a joke, Mr. Macintosh.

Beth Fulton | Television Is a Drug. “The inspiration of this video comes from Todd Alcott’s poem, Television. I own no rights to his reading of the poem and intend only to share my own personal interpretation. Hope you like!” It’s quite an interpretation. Well done.

How Wired.com Tracked the iPhone Finder →
Insightful piece written by Brian Chen on how Wired.com tracked down Brian Hogan, the “iPhone Finder.”  What I find most interesting about this piece is how powerful social media and Internet tools have become.  Through the use of Facebook, Google search, and people tracking websites such as Knowx.com, the hard working staff at Wired.com was able to gather plenty of information about...
