I just bought a TV. I bought a 720 'cos it was cheaper (because, really, who cares about "picture quality" except nerds?), and I was really impressed with the software - it can do DLNA streaming, Youtube pairing, and Netflix and none of that was even mentioned on the box! Means I don't even need to bother gluing a Raspberry Pi to the back like I planned. Awesome! And so cheap!
(In case it wasn't clear... you are not the only market segment. Neither am I.)
There seem to have been half-a-dozen negative personal experience stories about G+ turn up this weekend. And now this. Is nobody else sensing organization behind this?
(Not that I'm defending Google's "just the wrong side of creepy" approach, but if I was in competition with them I'd want to make sure everyone knew just how creepy they are).
