| Smart TVs are a dumb idea Samsung is proving to the world why smart TVs are really a dumb idea. Not only are they slower than an asthmatic ant with a heavy load of shopping, Samsung is experimenting with hijacking them so you can have adverts injected into your video stream. According to the Stack, Samsung wants to install hardware-baked advertising tiles in its newer models and might use software updates to make “the functionality” possible for older TVs. Samsung already managed to include advertisements in its range of internet-connected televisions and Executive Vice President Lee Won-jin is at the helm of the initiative to squeeze extra cash out of the current thin margins. http://www.techeye.net/business/smar...re-a-dumb-idea |
