  Without even reading it, I assume he's very supportive and thinks they are going to succeed. It's quite predictable of Anand when it comes to Intel. I'm very skeptical about it, though.

  If even Apple, Google, Netflix and others are struggling with this, there's little Intel can do more, even with their "spy-camera" enabled by default. Plus, I doubt their equipment will be anywhere close to $99, which I think is the sweet spot for specialized hardware like set top boxes.
