At a conference in San Francisco earlier today, Google announced the advent of the rumored Google TV. According to The Wall Street Journal’s entertaining live blog of the event, it will function similarly to regular, non-Google TV, except it will make television and Web-browsing “a single experience.” The company “is going to focus on making it easier to search for programs you want to watch. You can search for your favorite programs, set your DVR to record programs in the future, and so forth.” Some televisions will have Google TV built in, but those that don’t can be hooked up to the device. (A cool bonus: users will be able to use Android phones as remotes.)
