But they still get my money every month and just like the vast majority of people who pay for their TV, that's not going to change anytime soon. There simply isn't anything that replicates the experience and is free or low-cost. No one, not e... #CompanyProductProfiles #Gadgets #Google #YouTube #Hulu #Netlfix #YoutubeLeanback #Leanback

India looks like it is about to fall to Facebook. In May, 2010, Facebook attracted 18 million unique visitors in India, compared to Orkut's 19.7 million (comScore). In the past ye... #CompanyProductProfiles #Facebook #Orkut
