According to the WSJ, Google's been testing their "television programming search service" for about a year. The project is a partnership with Dish Networks and the testing of it "could be discontinued at any time." This doesn't sound too optimistic, but a discontinuation of testing could mean many things. In the meantime, information about the project itself is also pretty scarce:

Viewers can search by typing on a keyboard, instead of using a remote control. Google hopes to link the service up with its nascent TV ad-brokering business, allowing it to target ads to individual households based on viewing and TV search data.

Google and Dish Network spokespeople did not comment on the matter so it's hard to tell what is going on and whether Google is going to pursue this particular search service further. I hope they do though, 'cause I want an "I'm feeling lucky" button for TV programming. [WSJ]

I mean this is just, like, my opinion, man, but those colors? The bland white freezer box it transforms into when not in use? Those big, abstract art dopey ear speakers in the rear? Come on now. I'm all for transforming furniture—hell I even wrote a short film noir detective story about some once—but come on.

There aren't even any lasers. Oh, and it's $8,000. For that price I expect a Megan Fox lapdance, standard. Try again. [Boxetti via Born Rich via DVICE]
