Keep missing the Web addresses that increasingly pop up in TV programmes?
Sony is patenting a TV set that will help (EP 893 779). The set has enough
built-in memory to store the picture on screen when you press a key on the
zapper. It then uses character recognition to search for Web addresses and saves
them for the viewer. If the TV set can connect to the Internet, you can go
online to access the site. If not, you can send the list of grabbed addresses
to your computer.
