Google also announced the "Q", a media player ball with a 25 watt amp in it. The damned thing costs $300, and seems targeted exclusively at drug addled, chaotic neutral college kids who get together for "record parties" and eschew security.

I've got news, Google. Drug addled, chaotic neutral college kids won't spend $300 on a media player.

I was reading about this product last night. Not only does it not have speakers but it also requires an Android device to control it. The only thing it has over Sonos is the ability to stream video.

I think "Q" stands for Question. Like, what the hell? Or, really? Or, you're shitting me...... right?

Well, Google listened to me. They are delaying the launch of the Q and adding more features to it, and giving a free one to anyone who pre-ordered.

So it might become as useful as an Apple TV, and at only 3x the price. I think Google may be losing touch with reality.
