I will admit predictions can be lame, but fun to write and can provide some entertainment value. Also an ego rub if they remotely come true, so I have to post about today's news of Netflix partnering with LG Electronics to send movies straight to the TV. No box, just what's inside the TV, which is what I stated where consumer electronics companies will go in 2008 :)
This will be a battle ground between TV manufacturers and cable & satellite TV providers. Anyway, here are some details on this news:
