Boxee, Not Boxxy

fimoculous:

Somebody’s gotta say it… I don’t get Boxee. It’s all interface… it’s not content… it’s not making a better experience, it’s making a worse one… it’s the new Joost… it’s the old Miro… I have no idea why nerds are rallying around it. Someone please explain.

Because Boxee represents a potential future for television that looks a lot like the Internet’s present.  Because it offers the potential for a television with an app store and unlimited content from unlimited creators, decoupled from the machinations and limitations of the MSO.  Because it’ll make your 42” HDTV plasma into more than just an idiot box.
