Google today also announced their new project, aptly called Google TV. Not really a totally new idea since a lot of TV manufacturers already have some sort of web connectivity built-in into their sets but Google wants to be in the center of it all. Here is Google's explanation on how Google TV will work: Logitech comes in as a hardware partner for the Google TV project and is on the finishing stages of the "companion box" that hooks up to your TV via HDMI. Logitech will also create a remote control to pair with it, probably some sort of a keyboard and pointing device in one. On the other hand, Sony is also introducing their own HDTV models which has the Google TV platform built into the set (so you won't need the Logitech box anymore). Google TV with have the Chrome browser into the system and of course allow users to download/install web apps. Google TV will initially be only available in the US around 3rd quarter of this year. There was some sort of mass panic last night when Google was spewing a warning "this site may harm your computer" on all their search results.
