There is no way this is intentional. People who use DRM are, in general, idiots when it comes to technology, otherwise they would no be using DRM in the first place!

No offence taken. ;)

Anthony Rose (ex-Kazaa, now the BBC's Head of Digital Media Technology) talks about the different formats and flavours of iPlayer in this post about iPlayer on iPhone.

Ill one afternoon last autumn, I got hooked on the game, watched Dr Luis von Ahn discussing it a few times, drifting in and out of sleep (me, not the doctor), wrote a short explanation for the general reader at the BBC site, drifted back to sleep - and only got round to playing Peekaboom later. Dr von Ahn talks about Peekaboom in the various videos, and it takes this kind of game to a much more intense experience - longer, more focussed and, if anything, more addictive!
