No Google PC, Think Google Video
The speculation about Google announcing a Google Cube, which has been summarily dismissed by David Krane, Google’s PR big cheese on his blog. So what will Larry Page talk about during his Friday keynote at the CES? A reliable source of mine pinged and told me that the big news would be new and improved Google video. It is some sort of a video distribution deal which has been in the works for a while. Maybe content on demand, or finally a strategy and partnership that gives direction to Google Video. Whatever it is, Googlers are pretty pumped about these recent developments. I don’t have any more details, but given the money gusher Google’s video efforts can be, I won’t be surprised. Video is the big theme at CES this year. Check out our podcast about video 2006.
I have discovered something about Google Video regarding a potential “Google Video Player” built on the open source VLC. This might be what is planned for CES.
You can read how I came to that conclusion here: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Google/?p=65
I thought Google dropped VLC and went with Macromedia. Maybe they might come back. http://dl.google.com/opensource/VLC/vlc-diff.txt this is very old,(ya 6 months is old) Anyway, VLC is a pretty bad player and is also under threat from those EU DCMA laws. Google must go with Real or other open RTSP implementations.
Nope. You are all wrong. The “Google Cube/Box” is the Viseon Visiphone. http://www.viseon.com

They’ve been working with Google last year. Read about its feaures on their website and compare them with the rumored features of the Google Cube/Box. It’s a no brainer.
Oh, and it will be announced at CeBit in Germany 3/9/06-3/14/06, not CES (as by now everyone knows)

[...] Pues ahora que lo del Google PC parece calmarse, despes de todos los desmentidos, Om Malik se descuelga con que una de las famosas ‘fuentes generalmente bien informadas’, a.k.a. ‘un pajarito’ le ha dicho que lo que se anunciará este viernes por parte de Larry Page es una versión mejorada de Google Video, incluyendo algún tipo de acuerdo de distribución que lleva tiempo gestándose… [...]
Google Video?
There’s some buzz that Larry Page will be announcing a new video distribution service by Google in his CES keynote. It makes sense to me, since the constant increase in broadband penetration and improvement has brought the web to the
OM: No Google Cube…improved Google Video
Om Malik’s saying that Google’s big announcement tomorrow at CES is related to Google Video, not a Google Cube announcement.
[...] Wall Street Journal has more details on what I had exclusively reported yesterday, Google’s new improved video plans. Ironically, WSJ flubs the biggest piece of news in the story, which is buried at the very end of the story… Google has developed its own digital-rights-management software to protect downloaded videos from piracy. …..Excuse me, but this is yet another DRM system, that will now duke it out with Microsoft’s DRM and Apple’s DRM, amongst scores of pretenders. Techdirt Mike, vigilant as ever caught this and points out that AP and Reuters did not even mention this in their reports on the pending news. And he sums it up nicely, “we now have yet another incompatible copy protection system that is likely to lock people in (while also opening up new security holes).” [...]
