Google "Google is working to bring Web software to televisions through a partnership with Intel, Sony and Logitech, according to two people involved in the discussions with the companies. The project, called Google TV, uses Intel chips, with Switzerland's Logitech developing a keyboard that operates as a remote control, said one of the people, who declined to be named because the matter isn't public."

WebTV instantly comes to mind, but there are already devices you can connect to a TV to browse the net, like PS3, etc.

This is a meh technology.

I have Internet on my TV right now (computer connected to a HDTV) No big deal anymore.

Google on TV? as if I need to see more advertising...
Kind of defeats the purpose of TV, like entertainment.
