Agreed. I originally clicked on it because I thought it might be a way to get Netflix working on my raspberrypi. I'm pretty sure I physically wilted in my chair when I saw it was nothing of the sort.

As others are saying, it's still a good hack though. And while just installing a custom distro meant for XBMC on your rpi might be easier, putting something like this together by hand is a much better experience.

When I read it I thought they were building a customized version of Google TV, which was strange because I don't remember Google announcing that they've open-sourced Google TV (btw, is Google even allowed to do that?)

This is just a proof of concept, hacked it over the weekend :)
