Boxee: Open-Source Connected TV (http://tech.msn.com/guides/ces/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=16704209&imageindex=2)
Boxee is a free application that allows you to view Internet-based content onto your TV. The current version of Boxee runs on Intel-based Macs, Apple TV and Linux machines; connect one of those devices to your TV, and you're ready to go. A Windows version should be ready soon, according to a Boxee spokesman.
Boxee doesn't seem to restrict where you get content: It will play the music and movies you have on your own hard drive, as well as content from services like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Shoutcast, Last.fm, Flickr, Picasa, CNN, and lots more.
