...London. With a Slingbox in the living room and an Internet-connected laptop or 3G mobile phone on the road, you can follow every live strike by Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney just as if you were slumped into your favorite comfy chair in Highbury. Not that it's perfect: if you're in Sydney, you might have to start watching at 1 a.m. Like personal video recorders (pvrs) and the growing fascination with television inside mobile phones, the Slingbox is part of a wave of technology that consumers may well want, but could wreak havoc with traditional television companies...

She recorded another perfect inning in the seventh, tossing the ball to first base to complete the 1-2-3 inning. Despite the Crimson’s strong defense and powerful pitching, Princeton’s two runs were all it needed to avoid a Harvard sweep. HARVARD 1, PRINCETON 0 In the bottom...
