Adobe Flash secures set-top deal
Adobe has secured a deal to put its Flash software into many of the chips that go inside TVs and set-top boxes.
It will enable developers and content providers to create applications to deliver web-based content such as news, weather and share prices to TV screens.
Flash will be included on most chips -those made by Broadcom, Intel, NXP and STMicroelectronics - but the deal does not cover TVs made by Sony and Samsung.
The first applications using Flash are expected to hit TV sets early in 2010

Can games consoles survive the next 5 years?
I can't help but marvel at the quality and capability of my PS3 and Wii; however i have to think about the validity of their future? I personally see two potential attacks on the current industry structure:
1) The i-Phone. How long before Apple stick a 'HD out', onto the little device, and suddenly blu-ray has gone the way of VHS. Surely more powerful processing, and quality games will put Apple right in amongst the gaming big boys?
2) And the second being; onlive http://www.onlive.com. Stream your games....done!
I love how technologies can appear out of nowhere and own a global market space within years...SEGA Megadrive anyone?
