Google Calls GoogleTV a Hoax
Perhaps you've seen a video circulating widely on the web last week which purports to show a geeky-looking Mark Erickson explaining the complicated instructions for accessing GoogleTV. After he logs on, a small TV icon pops up were the 'M' in Gmail appears.

The video showed Mr. Erickson logging onto the service; streaming Fox's prime-time hit "prison break." A television ad was shown and the CBS, NCB, and Fox logos.

A Google spokesman, however, issued a statement saying: "Mark Erickson's Infinite Solutions segment highlights Gmail's seemingly infinite powers -- from gobs of storage and lightning-fast search to some of the best anti-spam action in the business. Alas, Mark's 'Google TV beta' is simply a figment of his fertile imagination -- but great entertainment for all of us here at the Googleplex."
