BBC announces that it may NOT deliver Linux/Mac/older Windows version of iPlayer -- sorry, 25% of UK, no iPlayer for you!

"RacerX, can you please reach up and switch on the lightbulb over your head? "


thats not an ad hominem attack?

I think rather than reach for the light bulb, I will reach for the "Organize Bookmarks" menu option and remove boingboing.

Ashley Highfield. Director of New Media & Technology is quoted as saying:

"We need to get the streaming service up and look at the ratio of consumption between the services and then we need to look long and hard at whether we build a download service for Mac and Linux

"It comes down to cost per person and reach at the end of the day."

"We are not ruling it out. But we are not committing to it at this stage."

Also, from the article:

"The BBC has also confirmed that users of Apple Mac and Linux machines will be able to use its TV catch-up service from the end of the year.

The broadcaster has signed a deal with Adobe to provide Flash video for the whole of the BBC's video services, including a streaming version of its iPlayer."

so, how is this "BBC announces that it will NEVER deliver Linux/Mac/older Windows version of iPlayer" ?

I think there are good points on both sides of this. Maybe Cory could get someone from the EFF to give some insight?

CDs can be recycled. A quick search on google will give you lots of options. Also, I believe the first sale doctrine states that you may keep backups or copies for personal use only so long as you own the original work.

Review of $35 Blackwing 602 pencil

What prevents this pencil from being manufactured again? Seems that if demand was this high and the pencil so extraordinary, someone would pick up the formula for the graphite and make more. Or is it that the formula calls for components no longer available?

I was thinking the same thing, and that maybe that was what the fight was about. The person in blue must be Michelle Madigan :P

Nextcare makes some great tattoo bandages as well, if your not allergic to latex.
