According to recent reports, Sony is planning to introduce its new TVs that are powered by Intel chips and Google software next month. Sony and Google are planning to discuss the new products at a conference in San Francisco come May 19th and 20th. Logitech has plus been tapped up to design the remote control for the new set-top box, including a tiny keyboard for navigation. The box will obviously be powered by Google’s Android operating system, and requires an World Wide Web connection. That being said, Google looks like it’s entering a highly competitive market, with players such as Cisco, Motorola, Microsoft, Apple, TiVo, and Boxee all potential opponents. Of course, Google itself entered the mobile phone scene a while back, so it’s no stranger to intense competition. Are you looking forward to a Google set-top box, or are you perfectly happy with your TiVo?

Intel has just announced their new line of Atom processors, with integrated graphics on the same die (piece of silicon) – an notion that rival AMD has been preaching for years under the “Fusion” name. Using its 45nm manufacturing process, Intel’s new Atom chips use less capability (25%-50%) and use a reduced footprint (60% to 70% considering there are two chips instead of three).

Most Netbooks released at CES will use the Atom N450, while low-priced desktop machines will use the Atom D410 or the dual-core version named D510. Both processors are designed to work on the same motherboard chipset NM10 Express from Intel.

Intel wants to have chips (theirs, obviously) inside our brains in the future so that there is no need for a mouse or keyboard to take charge of our computers. Dean Pomerleau is the brains behind that vision, where he works for Intel on matters of cognitive neuroscience, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, man-machine interfaces, brain processing of semantic info, and various brain-scanning technologies including fMRI, MEG, EEG and ECoG. We don’t think something like that will ever take off – it would certainly leave the thought of Big Brother knowing our every move and thoughts.
