Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Google is working with Intel and Sony to develop a new class of Internet-enabled televisions and set top boxes, according to a media report.
The effort, known as Google TV, has been under way for several months and is based on Google's Android software which is currently available in certain smartphones, according to a report in the New York Times on Wednesday citing people with knowledge of the project.
Logitech International is also involved and is developing peripheral devices, such as a tiny keyboard.
According to the report, the partners hope to make it easy for consumers to use Web applications like Twitter on their TVs and to entice software developers to create new applications to run on Google TV.
Google has begun testing the set top box technology with Dish Network, the Times said.
Representatives from Google, Intel and Sony were not immediately available for comment. A Logitech spokeswoman said the company did not have any comment.
