Tech Google Wants to Get in Your House

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 3:48 PM

Rumor has it, Google is going to get into the hardware biz:

Google hasn't given up on creating its own consumer electronics gear.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the company is working on a home entertainment device that would "stream music wirelessly throughout the home" and be marketed under Google's name.

Between this and Apple's rumored TV, we're looking at what could be a big year in home entertainment delivery systems.

So Google is doing Apple AirPort and Apple is doing Google TV. Swell.

I'm opposed to the Google intrusion on principle, but I would actually welcome a search engine that could help me find my keys.

@4: Seriously. Just because Google stamps its logo on it or Apple creates a box with polished chrome and beautiful lines doesn't mean we're getting anything new or innovative.
