I got all the way through the sign up process before it told me that it was US only. Cheers!

I got into an argument with some Google folks at an ALA conference. Now I dislike them even more (even though this really isn't their fault).

Apparently, Google TV is real. From what I can tell, this means of accessing it is not.

― molly mummenschanz (mollyd), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I got hungry for one of those chicken wrap things with the cheese and italian dressing yesterday and realized that Wendy's no longer carries that product.

Also, they do not deliver and my crispy chicken sandwich could've used a bit more mayo.

I fell for it too, but I didn't want to ruin the fun for anybody else.

I have to say though, this kind of thread with foolin' and OH NOES and aching dissapointment is a million times better than that vegetarian/virgin bullshit

I did like the mouse helipad on the armrest of his chair, but still FUCK HIM.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, FUCK HIM. The music for the video, and his hair for that matter, was pretty sweet.

I think sanskrit should lose the goatee, IMO

yes, lets worry more about these people downloading MUSIC instead of worrying about more pressing matters..like little children getting kidnapped and raped and people robbing stores. good job RIAA. keep up the good fucking work.

OTM! how little the RIAA does about stopping people from raping children totally shows exactly how RACIST they really are!

This thread.

So my family now has Google TV. What is the point to this besides "you can look at flickr on your television now?"

All the cool sites don't work. I don't have a Netflix subscription (yet.) Is there anything that I'm missing with this that I can't get on my regular computer?

networks started exluding their content from it a few weeks ago which wasn't a promising sign for it's longetivity. but I think you can stream different video formats to it, unlike with appletv. so that makes it more useful if you torrent things.

New movie and TV show purchases can only be added to Family Library if you purchase them with the family payment method, a Google Play gift card, or a promo code.

has anyone else ever tried to use this piece of crap? absolutely worthless.
