A true cable box killer? Maybe, but this poorly written article fails to supply any supporting details to the stated argument in the title. How are "a whole lot of new media apps" for the Xbox going to kill cable? I'd like to believe this is true, but the article lacks all of the details.

There's also the problem that, at least here in Brazil, cable companies are in many instances the only choice when it comes to broadband internet connection. The only way to get a decent connection at reasonable price is if you get an internet/cable/phone bundle.

This means there's no way to cut the cord.

It's TechCrunch, what did you expect? They're not exactly the pinnacle of journalism...
