CES Brings Internet Capabilities to TV

That's because you are an Apple fanboy Tom. Normal people won't be buying Apple TV. How is the Apple Dongle even slightly better then Netgear's fully function HDTV PVR that supports, DivX, Amazon, iTunes, WMV, & just about every other codec you can come up with? It's not. Given the lack of titles that iTunes has, I would never lock myself into their media universe when there is so much content out there. Consumers are much better going with something where they can get YouTube and iTunes onto their home theater systems. Steve Jobs really dropped the ball on this product. He could have made it awesome, but went mediocre just so that he can try and maintain a monopoly on the content that you can play with Apple products. In the long run Apple's proprietary nature will very much work against the company.

Motorola Shopping for a Middleware Company?

Ohhh I'm sorrry, the answer was Netopia, Netopia was the answer that we were looking for, and how much did they wager? $208 million in an all cash deal Alex.
