The BBC have finally made the decision to allow viewers to view on demand
programs over the internet. We where lucky enough to get a Beta preview, lets
see just how good the BBC iPlayer really is.
Firefox 2 Beta 1 released.
Mozilla have recently released the first Beta release of Firefox 2. This will
allow enthusiasts and developers to download and try the new version before it
has been fully released. Users should be cautious, because it is a Beta and will
contain bugs.
Current popular web browsers
Back in the mid to late nineties there was a fierce battle for control of the
web browser market between Netscape and Microsoft. The eventual winner was
Microsoft with Internet Explorer. Now there are many new players in the field
and they are all going after IE. Can IE retain it's dominance in the browser
market or will one of the new upstarts win the day.
