3/15/99 Kvalvik website This hard drive based TV goes on sale later this month. It finds out what is playing each day and displays it and will basically "search" for programs with the criteria you indicate. It downloads (records) these shows while they play and you can watch 'em at your leisure. This is the next big thing in my mind. DVD and HDTV will not be as important as this modest little computer/TV. http://replaynetworks.com/ .

2/25/99 Price CNET "Yes, push content is important. But don't be fooled--it's really not that different from the way we browse for information today.
The biggest piece of the puzzle--which a lot of people don't understand--is that so-called push technology is closer to the current Web-browsing pull model, while true push is more like broadcast. To illustrate, let's look at the current browsing (pull) model, then compare it to broadcast (push), and finally examine how push technology works on the Internet."
