Google and Linux are coming to your TV

,----[ Quote ]
| In what may have been Google's worst kept 
| secret in years, Google, along with its 
| partners, Intel, Logitech and Sony, is on its 
| way to delivering the Web to your television. 
| What will they be using to do this? Why, 
| they'll be using Google's Android Linux, of 
| course.
| 
| Android is an embedded Linux that Google has 
| already been deploying in phones like its own 
| Nexus One and Motorola's Devour and Droid. 
| But Android has always been more than just a 
| smartphone operating system; it's also been 
| used in netbooks and other devices. So taking 
| it to a TV set-top box was an easy move for 
| Google and its hardware friends.

YouTubeâs Bandwidth Bill Is Zero. Welcome to the New Net

,----[ Quote ]
| YouTube may pay less to be online than you 
| do, a new report on internet connectivity 
| suggests, calling into question a recent 
| analysis arguing Googleâs popular video 
| service is bleeding money and demonstrating 
| how the internet has continued to morph to 
| fit userâs behavior.

The Irony of Microsoft's Anti-Google Apps Campaign on YouTube

,----[ Quote ]
| In a Microsoft video extolling its virtues,
| the narrator makes the point that marketing is
| difficult with Google Apps. It's far simpler
| with Microsoft Office.
|
| So we find it deliciously ironic that
| Microsoft is marketing a number of anti-Google
| Apps videos using Google's YouTube.
| Hmm...doesn't that defeat the point a bit?
|
| [...]
|
| It all feels like a company protecting its
| power base more so than embracing the current
| disruption in the market.
