The Australian Open is into it's second week and the quarter finals are on-going. So far the form books are right on and the favourites are proceeding accordingly.
For us who aren't fortunate to be home watching the live broadcast, the web is our only solace and every year, the live features are getting better!
IBM has been providing much of the backend technology support over the years for the various major competitions. For this year - they have this new PointTracker feature that gives you almost real-time tracking of the shots! Together with the live streaming commentary - you almost can view the game live on your desktop! Plus if you are into Second Life - you can even watch it live virtually
Only thing missing is live video streaming - except it won't probably happen because of advertising issues. But heck - can't see can hear - good enuff!
