  There are plenty of Apple vs. Google comparisons to make today but this is the only one that matters: https://twitter.com/...

  @ow The Apple TV app lets you search for Netflix shows it just doesn't let you add it to your watch list ... and at least in the demo video Google showed I didn't see a Netflix show in their queue either.

  Yep. At a surface level, it looks like a copy of the TV app but that's selling it short. Apple fumbled hard and Google has come in with the same mission objective and much better execution. https://twitter.com/...

  So Google TV lets you search across every streaming app, like Apple TV, except.... it actually works with everyone from Netflix(!) to Spotify 😆 https://twitter.com/...

  $50 for this. 4K. Dolby Atmos. And it has a functional remote. Apple TV 4K costs $180 and has a remote that works... sometimes. https://twitter.com/...

  The Chromecast remote wrecks the Siri remote in a few key ways: 1) No touchpad. 2) Does not instantly want to live in between couch cushions. 3) Easy to tell which end is up. 4) No touchpad.

  New Chromecast remote certainly looks better than Apple TV remote. Admittedly, it's the lowest bar in the history of low bars.
