Didn't anybody at Samsung do a technical evaluation? The Yahoo Widget platform is a technological joke. It's very memory intensive and it leaks memory like a sieve. We investigated writing some widgets years ago and we found that our memory usage climbed and climbed as the user interacted with our widgets. This is supposed to be a garbage-collected JavaScript environment where memory management is taken care of for you. It should be impossible to leak. But Yahoo Widgets platform does. It seemed to be related to using timers or animation within a widget. And for grins, I fired up my old widgets with the latest download of Yahoo Widgets, wondering if they fixed anything in these past years, and they still leak! What this is going to mean is that if you keep your TV on for an extended period of time, it'll most likely get really slow and eventually crash as all the memory gets eaten up. This has epic fail written all over it. Why are they using the Yahoo WIdget platform? Didn’t anybody at Samsung do a technical evaluation? The Yahoo Widget platform is a technological joke.

It would be nice to have some cool functionality to take advantage of the internet. I would be pissed if they dont give me a way to upgrade my TV's software somehow though which Im sure will be the case.
