What People want in Google Buzz

VIZIO Forge TV Superbowl ad. Starting the race for Internet TVs and slow death of cable channels

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Not only this ad makes a stand in front of Sony and other big TV brands out there telling them “We have just advertised an Internet TV in front of 100 million viewers, you better get something out there soon or we’ll crush you”, but it also should tick you as a software developer. Now you’ll be able write software for the living room.
