JavaScript powered TVs!?
summary
Yahoo Connected TV ports a SpiderMonkey-based confabulator into embedded Linux TVs and claims 8 million TVs in 135 countries running it across 70 models. Development uses a WDK plus an Ubuntu VM image and a small context framework; OAuth requires out-of-band PIN handling. A LinkedIn network ticker widget is implemented in days: simulator exposes a live JS console, the ticker animation and pass-through TV mode run, and OAuth works with a short PIN flow though a manual workaround is noted.
