Google Develops Context-Aware Voice Search For TV 48
jfruh writes "Google TV, despite bold predictions from the company's execs, has singularly failed to take over the TV world. Nevertheless, the company is still plugging away, and one development that might have far-reaching implications is its new context-aware voice search. 'Context aware' is the key to revolutionizing the TV-watching experience: you can say the name of a TV show, the name of a channel, the description of a show, or the description of a kind of video you'd like to find on YouTube, and the TV will show it to you."

I like how on Slashdot, the 'evil' thing to do is using info to show you ads that might actual be relevant.

ads are never 'relevant'.
why do you think that its still OK to have a 'push model' instead of a 'pull model'?
if I am interested in learning about X, I can search for it!
this isn't 20 years ago when that was not possible.
today it is. its beyond stupid to keep with the push-style model when there's no GOOD reason for it.
note, I said GOOD reason. sure, there are reasons but none of them good.
