The future of television is here!
Hey, it's my first technology post!
Apple just released their new Widget Television VF1 Dashboard for OSX.
Now, I am not a mac person, at all. But I am very jelous about this. Downloadable internet shows, like Diggnation, Systm, and TWIT, have been increasing in popularity lately. These have been labeled "IP TV." I want to have tv on the computer, over the internet. Forget tv tuner cards. Those are cool, but don't offer the vareity of options that are opening with internet television. (by the way, I am a little dissapointed that I cannot view these shows on my college's campus. They have to be downloaded throught bitorrent, which is blocked).
I remember hearing a prediction that TV and computer will come together one day. I think I was about 12 when I heard this. My mind went crazy with ideas of what it might be like one day. I knew, right then, that I wanted to get this when it came out. Too bad the mac people had to come up with it first. NO FAIR!
Only one danger with this: No limit on content (yet anyway). One could just put whatever they wanted on tv. That would be no good.
Anyway...comment if you care (about TV and the Internet...not about me).
Oh well...

Dear BB,
I just wrote a huge response, but deleted it by choice to say, "cool."
