Yahoo Introduces Internet TV Software called TV Widgets

Yahoo! (YHOO) and Intel (INTC) have developed software, called TV Widgets, allowing users to call up popular Web pages right alongside programs they are watching. Working with TV makers Samsung, Sony, LG, and Vizio, this Web pioneer now wants to break ground in bringing Internet content to TVs. With many consumers eager to enjoy several media in a single gadget or appliance, TV Widgets could help them handle multitasking with greater ease.
