U can "opt out" when registering on a site so they don't contact u or sell ur info. Mkt research responses r "blind" so ur answers and demographic info is just pooled w/ 1,500 other ppl so to use 4 stat analyses). As for co's spying on u, are u really so hot, rich, fascinating (or dangerous) that u

@2katz, do u live in a log cabin, 20mi from anyone? Do u have tinfoil on ur roof, windows, car? Man, I've not seen such paranoia about common, everyday actions (i.e. mktg ??s, web registrations, asking for ur name, etc.) I'm in mktg and assure u co's r not "out to get u"!

I said yes, but it might flop...google has tried multiple times to break into social media...and (sorry google fan boys, google+ is a flop. ) I can see this turning into the same kind of thing

Yes, especially now that chrome is becoming an extremely popular browser. There technology will be further optimized, and people will be attracted to the idea of unity between internet, hardware, and software.

Google hardware doesn't have any market credibility. Their software maybe, but I wouldn't have any confidence in google branded hardware. Hardware isn't google's mainstay so the bulk of it is probably outsourced junk.

@jjc My friends and I joke about that too... Although some of us may be serious. Lol

No, Apple TV FTW! Google is a great search engine. And I love my gmail. But for entertainment in my home, I can't see anything being better than my Apple TV's. Googles TV will still be competing with Steve Jobs innovation. Good Luck with that! Lol

With their search engine to back it of, theres no problem for advertising Google electronics.

depends on if they can make something truly groundbreaking. I think it may take a while but it will eventually succeed

I'm gonna go with no. too late to the market, and there's not much I foresee them offering that I can't already get from a mfg that I KNOW will have a good product

They already have access to content + excellent brand recognition. The component devices will be manufactured for them and they'll just slap on the Google name (as retailers do w/ their store brand products). As long as they use a good quality manu, they should be able to garner share pretty easily.

Too late to the party. They don't have a portal like Amazon and their Kindle line. They should just stick to software and be happy with being the 21st century Microsoft.

Google will be successful in most any business venture-with the warehouses of cash they have, even something going wrong wouldn't hurt them too badly. The one thing about google that sets them aside from competitors like bing/yahoo is google has always had more user-friendly services than the others

Google's a great search engine, but I don't think they'll be very successful.

Sup guise, I'm a typical poster who adopts the opinions of popular media. Google will crash and burn because I said. I said. So yeah

I don't give a damn about home media garbo. I want eye tracking technology.

Also. The other thing that I love about Google tv is the ability to use my phone as my tv remote. How many times do people loose their remotes? Google tv makes turning my tv on and controlling it with my phone possible.

Google will be successful. There is no question. I personally have the Google tv. I love it. It make finding things on tv way easier. And I love the easy access to netflix. As time goes on Google will perfect it. As they do with everything they touch.
