Internet television (otherwise known as Internet TV, or Online TV) is the digital distribution of television content via the Internet. It should not be confused with Web television - short programs or videos created by a wide variety of companies and individuals, or Internet protocol television (IPTV) - an emerging internet technology standard for use by television broadcasters. Some Internet television is known as catch-up TV. Internet Television is a general term that covers the delivery of television shows and other video content over the internet by video streaming technology, typically by major traditional television broadcasters. It does not describe a technology used to deliver content (see Internet protocol television).

At least 61 dead in Iraq bombings
Baghdad,, Apr 24 (CNN) -- A wave of bombings targeting Shiites,, a market in Baghdad and a neighborhood in Anbar province killed at least 61 people and wounded more than 100 others Friday, police said.
The strikes conjured memories of the bloodshed that once engulfed both the capital city and the vast province every day.
No one has claimed responsibility for the string of attacks, but authorities believe that such coordinated bombings bear the hallmarks of al Qaeda in Iraq.
The bombings come days after Iraqi and U.S. officials announced that they had killed the two most wanted al Qaeda leaders in the country. Although the deaths hurt the insurgents, military officials don't discount insurgents' continued ability to carry out attacks.
This week, Maj. Gen. Qassim Atta,, spokesman for the Baghdad Military Operations Command, boasted about the killings of insurgent leaders Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi.
He said security forces must capitalize on this "great victory" but cautioned about the possibility of reprisals.
Of the Iraqi-U.S. joint operation Sunday that killed the two leaders,, Atta said, "We had information that they were planning attacks that would target churches, Shiite mosques and bridges, and the security forces took precautions and prepared security plans specifically for this."
Former Deputy Minister of Health and Sadrist politician Hakim al-Zamili said he thinks Friday's bombings could be retaliation for the killing of the al Qaeda in Iraq leaders.
"This political and government vacuum led to such bombings and will lead to many disasters for the Iraqi people,," he said.
The strikes occur during the delay in the formation of a government, and many observers fear that a political vacuum could portend an increase in violence, such as the sectarian bloodshed that took place in early 2006 while the government was being formed.
Among the string of attacks:
• Two car bombs targeted worshipers in Sadr City in eastern Baghdad,, killing 39 and wounding 56 people. Also, a car bomb exploded outside one of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's offices there,, wounding five people.
The attacks enraged Sadr City residents,, who say the government is turning a blind eye to militants. Al-Sadr's office distributed a statement Friday afternoon calling for his followers to show restraint and called for three days of mourning. Al-Sadr has a political movement and a large grass-roots following.
• In southeastern Baghdad,, eight people died and 23 were wounded when a car bomb and a roadside bomb detonated outside Muhsin al-Hakim mosque.
• In the northwestern Baghdad neighborhood of Hurriya, a car bomb explosion outside Hadi al-Chalabi mosque killed five people and wounded 10.
• A roadside bomb outside the Sadreen mosque in the Zafaraniya neighborhood in southeastern Baghdad killed two people and wounded seven.
• One person was killed and six people were wounded when a roadside bomb exploded in an outdoor market in the southern Baghdad district of Dora.
• A car bomb exploded outside a Shiite mosque in the Ameen neighborhood in southeastern Baghdad, wounding two people.
• West of Baghdad, in the Anbar province town of Khaldiya,, six people were killed and 10 were wounded when six roadside bombs exploded in a residential area where a police officer and a judge lived. Authorities imposed a curfew.相关的主题文章：

Earthquake brings chaos, violence to orderly Chile
Earthquake brings chaos, violence to orderly Chile
<p>CONCEPCION, Chile, March 2 (Reuters) - Scenes of looters clashing with police and torching buildings after a huge earthquake have undermined Chile's hard-earned image as Latin America's beacon of order and stability.
As looting and robberies spread in Concepcion,, it became clear that slow progress in getting aid to Chile's second-largest city and inadequate security had led to a breakdown of order,, bringing out the worst in some Chileans.
The city was locked down under curfew early on Tuesday, a day after looters raided more stores and set fire to at least one supermarket and a department store, despite the arrival of thousands of soldiers.
Some people armed with shotguns and sticks banded together with neighbors to protect their homes and businesses. Many complain of a slow aid and security response from the government.
"We are being attacked by a horde of people from another area,," said Concepcion resident Patricia who called into local radio on Monday. "It's not fair they are doing this. Please police, soldiers, whoever can help,, come and help us."
Chile has for many years been a shining example of orderliness and economic probity in Latin America, a region prone to instability, unrest and institutional crises.
It is among Latin America's wealthiest countries on a per capita basis, and can claim to have its most stable economy thanks to prudent policies.
Some praise free-market reforms implemented in the 1970s during the dictatorship of the late General Augusto Pinochet, while others credit center-left governments that have held power for the last two decades. Either way,, Chile's economy has for long been the envy of other Latin American countries.
But the government of President Michelle Bachelet, whose approval rating reached a lofty 83 percent in February, has struggled to get to grips with the scale of this disaster.
The quake was one of the world's biggest in a century and it triggered tsunamis that wrecked coastal towns. It killed at least 763 people,, destroyed or seriously damaged hundreds of thousands of homes, buckled highways and knocked out power across large areas of central Chile.
ANGRY SURVIVORS
Bachelet, who hands over power to President-elect Sebastian Pinera on March 11, has struggled to coordinate an effective government response.
In the initial hours after the quake on Saturday morning, Interior Minister Edmundo Perez said the death toll was unlikely to increase much above 82. Chile's Navy, using erroneous data, also lifted a tsunami warning even as giant waves crashed into vulnerable coastal towns.
Bachelet declined to ask for foreign aid immediately after the quake,, misjudging the extent of the damage. When U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited on Tuesday,, the government asked Washington for field hospitals,, power generators, water purification plants and other equipment.
"How can the government say it does not need international help when it cannot even do the minimum job?" said Sandra Gonzalez,, a 35-year-old resident of the badly hit central city of Talca, where looting also broke out.
"It makes no sense. Our government sent aid to Haiti 12 hours after the quake there," she added, referring to the massive earthquake in January that killed more than 200,000 in the impoverished Caribbean country.
Chile's far more rigorous building standards undoubtedly saved lives but the government acknowledges that its response has been slow due to mangled roads and power cuts. It has condemned the burgeoning criminality, pledging to prosecute looters with the full force of the law.
Normally orderly Chileans have at times turned angrily on the services trying to help them. In Concepcion, survivors camping along roads took out their frustration on firefighters who were distributing drinking water in thermoses and tea kettles, damaging their vehicles. Looters also raided a fire station looking for water and gasoline on Monday.
"The soldiers just arrived and haven't been able to control the situation. The neighbors where I live are organizing to defend themselves because people are starting to rob houses," said Caroline Contreras, a 36-year-old teacher.
