Google TV

Posted on January 28th, 2007 in Funny, Rumors by admin

Google TV, a very elaborate hoax! On one hand, I was interested… I think it’s time that a company like Google comes out with a TV service. Fortunately, I don’t have enough time on my hands to try out the 11 - 1,000 logins that they imply it requires.

The easiest way to know this is a fake? If you watch closely, the video shows tv.google.com as the hostname for this new service. Someone suggested pinging tv.google.com. Alas, it’s possible that they block ping. What’s not possible, it to hide the fact the DNS records exists or not.

Don’t just trust me, Go See for yourself!:

You’ll see that is says:

Response:
No A records exist for tv.google.com, and tv.google.com does not exist.
