I've read the article twice, and the only "evidence" Apple is making a TV (as opposed to a set-top-box, which they already make), is the author's speculation that "Selling an AppleTV-like box with a fiddly, detachable sensor that has to be tacked onto an existing television doesn’t seem like the Apple way". It seems like the "Apple way" could equally well be a set-top-box that doesn't require a "fiddly, detachable sensor that has to be tacked onto an existing television." There's nothing inherent about gesture recognition that requires the sensor to be in a specific position, it's just that that's the current state of the art for consumer devices, so that's what we're used to. I'm sure gesture recognition from an arbitrary position is a hard problem, but solving hard problems is the "Apple way."
