[...] As a lot of people have already, I don‚Äôt think this is a huge deal. However, I also think its only at v0.0.1… in any case I‚Äôm not trying to knock it down either because I think this is just a first pass at whatever Winer is trying to accomplish - ‚Äúattempt to turn your HDTV into a platform that embraces the Internet‚Äú.
