Tom Cruise and Terry Semel

After attending 4 years of CES, I could see the past two years the movie and music

industry was part of a great convergence and would change everything in Hollywood.

To help Yahoo introduce how they are jumping out of the PC.  Yahoo has announced

a set of popular Yahoo tools--including movie listings, trailers and online music--for television.  It's free though it requires the TV be hooked up to a PC running Microsoft's Windows CP or Media Center operating system.  The service will also be available to

cell phone users with data connection.  They'll be able to use tools such as e-mail,

photo sharing, weather and traffic, also free.

It's the most natural thing in the world," says Yahoo CEO Terry Semel. "It's about a connected life--how we take the information we store online and use on any device...

We think the Internet isn't a Web page or a destination for the PC anymore.

I got to meet Mr. Semel and we had a talk about some future ideas that the StuioClub.com and Yahoo might team up on...looking back we have co-produced

two great webcasts with YahooBroadcast.com.  I have always thought they were

on the cutting edge...especially when they were so smart to acquire Mark Cuban's Broadcast.com.  I did a interview with Cuban's HDTV while in Vegas they ask me

about my thoughts on CES 06.
