<description><![CDATA[Vudu streaming is coming to Web browsers.(Credit:Vudu) The Vudu video-on-demand streaming service has long been available on a wide variety of connected home entertainment products, including networked TVs, Blu-ray players, and even the PlayStation 3. But now subscribers will be able to watch Vudu movies through computer Web browsers, too.As with rivals Netflix and Amazon, the Vudu browser experience is pretty much the same as what you'll find on those other Vudu venues--the identical content library (albeit limited to standard-definition, thanks to studio restrictions) at the identical pricing. The video should work on any computer browser (Windows,Mac, Linux) that's compatible with the latest version of Flash. (In-browser Vudu streaming should be active at Vudu.com later today.) Watching premium video in a Web browser is hardly a unique offering--plenty of providers from Hulu to Facebook already deliver similar services. But for Wal-Mart Stores-owned Vudu, adding PC screens to the mix adds yet another way to access videos you rent or own. Where else might we see Vudu in the future Vudu general manager Edward Lichty told CNET that &quot;any device that can connect to the Internet is something we want to be on.&quot; When asked specifically about products like theiPad, he replied that he suspectsyou'll be seeing Vudu ontablets this year, but added &quot;we have nothing specific to announce&quot; at this time. Other interesting tidbits: Lichty said 80 percent of Vudu customers are also Netflix subscribers, but they use Vudu to watch new releases that aren't available on Netflix streaming. And--while Vudu is the only Internet-delivered video service that offers 3D content, Lichty indicated that 3D streaming on Vudu is &quot;fairly modest&quot; to date.  <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[J.P. Morgan Chase is in talks to take a minority stake in Twitter that would value the microblogging site at $4.5 billion, according to published reports.The investment firm's new $1.2 billion Digital Growth Fund is leading the effort, however exact terms of a possible investment are unknown, according to reports by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times that cited people familiar with the matter. They cautioned that talks are continuing and there is no guarantee an agreement will be reached.Twitter representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The fund, which is expected to focus on private Internet and digital-media companies, is also said to be interested in investing in online gaming giant Zynga and group coupons site LivingSocial, according to the reports. Twitter completed a $200 million funding round in December--led by investment firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield &amp; Byers--that gave the company at a $3.7 billion valuation. The funding was expected to be use to ramp up engineering resources to support a growing user base and allow early employees to cash out some company stock.The talks come on the heels of Facebook's $500 million funding round through deals with investor Goldman Sachs and Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies that gave the social-networking giant a valuation of $50 billion.Twitter, which limits its users to 140-character broadcast messages, has been credited with playing a pivotal role in the civil unrest that led to the resignation of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
