Google-Mania Continues: Google TV?

Now that Google is exploring building its own free WiFi service in San Francisco, commentators are going insane trying to guess where they may go next. The newest idle speculation - based on a registered URL - is Google TV.

It is very possible that Google is creating their own branded digital television DVR / satellite service.
A DVR that lets you "Log In" with your Google Account before you begin your television watching would allow Google to serve up relevant ads based on: the program you are watching, your search history, the type of emails you have received in the past 24 hours (excluding spam hopefully), or anything else Google can track.
You'll note this is not really "news." Just someone's dreams about what Google might do if it gets around to it. One can't help wondering what will happen when the Google speculation bubble bursts. Maybe I should sell my stock now.
