By Thomas Claburn, InformationWeek, January 16, 2009:
... skip ... Initially, YouTube on Television ( http://www.youtube.com/tv ) is available as a beta test through Sony (NYSE: SNE) PS3 and Nintendo Wii game consoles, in 22 countries and in 12 languages. Additional devices are likely to be added in the future.

Other device makers like Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Panasonic, TiVo, and Verismo soon followed Apple's lead, aided by the addition of new APIs for partners and external developers in March 2008.
... skip ... What's less clear is whether anyone is watching YouTube on TV. TVs, after all, tend to have access to professionally produced content that ...

I'm afraid we are operating on two completely different levels.

I'm not writing about whether anyone sells a car or not.

I'm interested in the effects of mass-mind-control via electronic media.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bratticus', 'I')'m interested in the effects of mass-mind-control via electronic media.
