I have a slight feeling it's not really a live video stream.  Why would they
do that?  If you check out the realnetworks site then you'll see it does do
a lot more than most people think.  It's just timeconsuming to make them.

Very interesting how vision.yahoo.com is set up. Of those that have been
there, have you seen how they do their interface?  They have a live video
feed in the left-hand side and at key times during their live
broadcast, certain stocks get mentioned that are then dynamically pulled
up in other windows of this interface as the announcer talks about
them!  I've got some experience with SMIL files doing this, where you
trigger events based on a timestamp in the video, but only for
archived videos.  I can't imagine what it takes for a live feed (see
earlier email)
