By Tim Siglin October 1, 2007 In Chicago, Monday, two important events took place. A rally to spur the Cubs on in their quest for the pennant took place at Daley Plaza at noon.

Lunched as a direct competitor to services like Joost, where users can watch online content for free on their PC, Internet TV aims to bring the service into the living room. Internet TV is available to US customers through Windows Update, and is listed as a service in Windows Media Center. This means that users will be able to stream the on-demand content to their TV using a media extender such as the Xbox 360, giving Internet TV an advantage over Joost. So far Microsoft has secured music concerts, movie trailers and full episodes of the excellent US series 'Arrested Development.' High-definition content will also be a prominent feature of the new service. The beta is available for download now, but unfortunately for the non-US world, there is no word on international release.

Pacemakers, consumer gadgets and even a critical part of a space shuttle have fallen victim. The culprits? Tiny splinters - whiskers, they're called - that sprout without warning from tin solder and finishes deep inside electronics. By some estimates, the resulting short-circuits have leveled as much as $10 billion in damage since they were first noticed in the 1940s. Now some electronics makers worry the destruction will be more widespread, and the dollar amounts more draining, as the European Union and governments around the world enact laws to eliminate the best-known defense - lead - from electronic devices.
