Comcast, Panasonic Demo Interactive Cable
Note:
At the CEDIA Expo in Denver this week, Comcast and Panasonic are demonstrating a 50-inch plasma TV with built-in tru2way technology linked interactively with the local Comcast cable system. Bob Perry, senior vice president with Panasonic Display Company, said, “A tru2way television is actually a computer of sorts. When you activate your television on a local cable TV system, it downloads a Java application that executes on the TV.”

Travel Insurance
Note:
You know how your mother always tells you to wear clean under wear in case you’re in an accident, that’s kind of what travel insurance is like. You have to have it just in case because should something unfortunate happen (cross your fingers, turn in a circle three times to the left and spit on your right shoe for luck) you are really going to want to be covered for it.
