Google TV vs. the TV Networks
http://bit.ly/d4Vtrg (Google Buzz)
Thought question: Is there a law requiring Web clients to accurately
identify their browser type? No. In fact it is a common feature to
allow users to change their browser identification in case of problems
with particular sites. Is there a law requiring Google TV to identify
as Google TV? I seriously doubt it. Of course, Google doesn't want to
pick a fight with the networks, but the networks may have other ideas.
