today a public beta version of Seagull 3, which focuses on delivering an
experience better than television, while watching video content from the
Internet.

the commercial breaks that seem to be longer than the show they are in, and
the constant news coverage of the celebrity of the week. They ask me, "Why
isn't there anything new and interesting on? Why are there commercials,
when we have a monthly cable bill? Why can't television be enjoyable,
rather than frustrating?"
The answer is that television isn't controlled by you. If you controlled...
