Some of the latest television news of interest is that Yahoo widgets will appear<\/a> on Samsung TV sets. This is a big development as it shows the companies in the web and TV camps are coming closer together.

In other TV news, Neulion has improved their TV over IP (TVoIP) box I have covered<\/a> before. As you recall it is basically the Vonage model applied to television.  It now handles HD<\/a> as well.
