This Is What Google TV 2.0 Will Look Like (GOOG)

After lackluster reviews last year, Google TV is due for a refresh.

Google announced that it was adding its Honeycomb OS to Google TV, allowing it to run apps and adding a fresh look.

That was all we heard.

Geek.com just scored some screenshots from a limited developer release of the next Google TV. Apparently, Google has seeded about 50 Google TV boxes running the new OS to select developers.

It looks like a slightly tweaked version of Honeycomb for tablets.

Check out the screenshot below to whet your appetite.

What Does A Russian Startup Look Like? Just Like One In The Valley

Russia’s startup scene is still growing but with a potential market size of 170 million users in the next 18 months, it’s white hot. There remain hurdles – like payment mechanisms and door-to-door delivery in a market known for corruption in the postal servce. But these are gradually being eroded by entrepreneurs.

Yesterday I had lunch with a VC who hits Moscow once a month now, such is the potential for even ‘normal’ business models like old fashioned e-commerce. Meanwhile, there are lots of categories in Russia waiting to be filled and one of them is travel.

Ostrovok.ru is still being built right now, and remains in private beta. Its aim is simple – to be the most convenient online hotel reservation platform for Russian users.

How To Dress Like Billionaire And Millionaire Tech Founders

People’s sartorial choices have a big impact on their identity, and the founders of tech companies are no exception.   

Just as Winston Churchill always wore a bow tie and Michael Jackson almost always wore a white glove, some tech founders have signature garments or consistent styles.

Check out our list of some of the better known!

Steve Jobs, Apple

Blue jeans, Levi's Original dark stone wash, $58

Black mock turtleneck, by Carhartt, sold at Cabelas.com, $27.99

Jobs has almost never strayed from this simple, down-to-earth uniform. And it has served his company well.

Jack Dorsey, Twitter

Grey pinstripe sportcoat, J. Crew, $275

Skinny black tie, J. Crew, $59.50

This is by no means Dorsey's official uniform, but he regularly wears a well-fitted jacked and a crisp collared shirt.

Sergey Brin, Google

Shoes: Vibram FiveFingers FLOW, $90

Brin was first seen wearing these unusual shoes in 2009.

The FiveFingers design takes a new approach to walking and running and is made by Vibram, an old Italian shoemaker that decided to do something different.
