Apple

[Grieve]

I think the "Smart Home" is definitely on the way, although we'll have to see if Apple or Google (or Samsung) get there first. More and more stuff is being wifi-enabled (e.g. that "Nest" thermostat created by the ex-Apple guy), and I can definitely see being to able to control it all from your TV. Samsung might have a head-start, since they already make a zillion appliances. Kind of cool to be able to check how much longer the oven has to go while roasting a chicken, or how much longer the washer or dryer has to go. Or maybe check the inventory of your fridge via the TV.
