Asus hopes upcoming Eee desktops are Eeequally Eeenticing (ars technica)

Agreed. A friend of mine uses a PC connected to the HD-TV in his living room as his only home
computer.

I don't like statements like "the whole 'use your TV as your web browser/computer' concept has
never caught on well." What's to say that it won't this time.. or next time.. or in 10 years?
Just because it hasn't caught on well so far, certainly doesn't mean it never will. 

"Overnight successes" are often old developments that cross a thresold and suddenly become
"good enough".
