From the post:

>Software engineer Carl Riis has announced his first hardware project, dubbed EarlGreyTV. It is a Smart TV project that differentiates itself from the usual ‘idiot box’ dominating your living room by leveraging the wonders of Linux and Firefox, plus an old laptop. Though Riis humbly admits that EarlGreyTV doesn’t compete with today’s state-of-the-art domestic solutions in every way, it has a few worthwhile advantages — customizability, control, and privacy.

It really doesn't but to each their own. Its a glorified over powered pc with webpage based UI that auto-launches like a kiosk. You could probably mock something up like this in about 30 min with very little knowledge.
