It's a big step on the road to streaming TV. My guess is that, in the
long run, it's bad news for cable providers. It will probably cause a
big drop in Blu-Ray players. They're obsolete.

The flip side is that it's another way for Google to collect user data.
The little thingie will be shooting out info on you at all times. OTOH,
I guess if we have to see ads, at least it will be ones tailored to fit
one's interest or household. It's a revolution in "selling it."
