Wired News: It's Just the 'internet' Now, via Paul. I want to agree with them and adopt the same conventions, but the Internet isn't quite the same as television. Note, the Internet. You don't say "the television", except when you're speaking about the physical box.
The Internet is a particular network, which uses TCP/IP, does name resolution with DNS, etc. In contrast, HDTV, even though it comes over cable or satellite, and uses different standards and has a different resolution than "normal" television, is still television.
