[quote=The Verge]Boxee, a relatively small company known for its set-top box that streams media to TVs, has been purchased by Samsung for roughly $30 million. The news comes out of Israeli site The Marker, though Boxee CEO Avner Ronen has declined to comment on the rumor. VentureBeat revealed last month that Boxee was searching for a buyer, but Samsung is an unexpected suitor for the company. According to today's report, Boxee — which is based in New York and has offices in Tel Aviv — will retain its 45 employees following the acquisition. The startup had raised a total of $28.5 million in funding and was reportedly seeking another $30 million before it opted to pursue an acquisition.[/quote]
I like mine even though it was a buggy piece of shit for the first few years, then they sorted most of it out with patches. It still behaves oddly at times but usually it just lets me plop a thumbdrive in and play anything off it without any trouble.
Time for it to be clogged up with badly coded Samsung Smart Apps

I was contemplating whether or not to include "(no, not her)" in the title.

In hindsight, yeah :v:
Maybe now we in Scandinavia can get access to Netflix without the usage of a VPN or DNS service.:dance:
Though I shouldn't hope for too much.
I installed the Boxee program on a computer a few times, it's pretty good.

I realize who she is. She's Catie Wayne aka anewhopee on Youtube. I watch her shit, she's still a pretty girl and has an awesome personality.
Can't wait for a new S-Box™ with such amazing features as S-TV™, S-TVGuide™, S-Motion™, S-Audio™, only from S-Samsung™.

If you like Boxee you should try XBMC loaded with plugins. Boxee is a fork of XBMC.
Nah, Roku 3
