New York Times States Obvious about Google TV
November 24, 2010
Short honk: I am a subscriber to the gray lady in print too. Over the years, I have chuckled at the pontifications. I even argued with a former famous New York Times writer—former as in no longer there—about the vapidity of the write ups about Google. I noted a rubber spatula daub in “How To Watch The Daily Show on Google TV.”
That [Viacom’s and other TV outfits’ blocking of Google TV] represents an interesting dilemma for Google TV: The platform needs a critical mass of users to have an impact on viewership numbers for sites like Comedycentral.com — but it may have a hard time getting to that level if most of the TV content available on the web today is blocked.
Quite an insight. Be still my heart.
