Perhaps it will help Bert understand that it is not a simple "Cut

Had you read the article, you would have seen that both keyboard and
mouse are required anyway. And had you listened, you might have seen
that I've repeatedly stated that the CE vendors can create a simpler
browser experience, as Sony had done in their previous Vaio, WITHOUT
getting in bed with the content providers, and without forcing
dependence on just one search engine.
As I explained recently, Apple TV, Roku and others have neither a
keyboard or mouse. Dittos for your Blu Ray player that can access
Netflix.
It's not just about the sites you can access. It's about the user experience.
