...Until now, Slingbox couldn?t get at the growing mass of high-definition programming available from cable or satellite providers. That was a problem in my house, since we record most primetime shows in HD using a cable company-rented Scientific Atlanta DVR set-top box. The new Slingbox Pro can stream any standard or HD show stored on my cable box, at a reduced quality, wherever I happen...
...following evening, my wife and I were telling our friends about Tina Fey?s hilarious new NBC sitcom, 30 Rock, but found we couldn?t do it justice. I suddenly realized that I could simply stream the pilot episode, via laptop, from my cable box at home. We gathered around the dining room table, and I launched the SlingPlayer, which produced a virtual remote control identical to the one sitting on my coffee table back home.

...there a risk that you set a Philippines-type precedent for the removal of leaders through street demonstrations, instead of using the ballot box? Not at all. This is building up Taiwan's democratic system. Since 1992, people can elect their legislature and, since 1996, their President, but when the legislators and President don't have the trust of the people and they have to wait till their term is over, that hurts the country more...
