I’m not sure if Google is gonna like this, but they received the Captain Hook Award for Biopiracy... for “teaming up with J.

Google TV?

Reto Meier wonders if Google TV is on its way:

“Google are advertising for an Interactive TV Product Manager in Mountain View, as well as Sofware Engineers with experience in ’emerging TV standards’ and ’deploying robust, high-volume applications for consumer devices’ in both the Mountain View and London offices. (...)

All signs indicate that any plans are at an early stage, but it seems that Google, much like major players Apple, Sony, and Microsoft are looking to move off the computer, and into your living room.”
