Yahoo Wants to Bring the Internet to Your Living Room (19)
on ReadWriteWeb (13001) permalinkAt Intel's Developer Forum, Yahoo today announced an initiative to bring the Internet to your TV set through what it has dubbed the 'Widget Channel.'

- marcell said: "However, as a typical usage scenario, Yahoo expects its users to want to browse to a friend's Flickr photos while watching a TV show - at that point, trying to find a set of photos on Flickr might just a bit more than your standard remote can handle.Yahoo might be planting a Trojan horse in every living room here by creating a demand for Internet enabled TVs - but the real problems for interactive TV have never really been technical. Most users simply aren't interested in interacting with their TVs beyond flipping channels. The Widget Channel might just be simple enough for more folks to start using it and it might precipitate a cultural shift in how we look at our TVs, but so far, every other similar initiative has failed because of a lack of demand."

Google Wireless Plan Angers Audio-Equipment Makers (12)
on Wired Top Stories (5008) permalinkCross one off the list of Google's friends.
