,----[ Quote ]
| With the introduction of Google TV,
| Google (NSDQ: GOOG) is now the latest
| company to try to bridge the gap between

| the long-expected platform, which the
| company is unveiling right now at Google
| I/O: A âquick search boxâ that lets users
| quickly look up and access TV broadcasts
| and web content. Engineers demonstrated
| how users could seamlessly switch between
| watching a video from anywhere on the web
| and watching a live TV broadcast. Users
| can also visit a website at the same time
| that they watch a broadcastâa scenario
| that could be useful if, for instance,
| somebody wanted to look up sports stats
| related to an ongoing game.
