[dundee] BBC iPlayer for Macs & Linux

[gordon dunlop]

The BBC iPlayer for Macs & Linux is out (beta version). I really don't
know what the fuss is about with all this DRM stuff as people can
record these programs on their DVD recorder. I like it as I can watch
things that I have missed due to other obligations without mucking
about with DVD recording timers and media. You end up with tons of
DVD's (waste of resources). The wife has taken a shine to it so it
must be O.K., the thing is that it only supports certain versions of
Linux at the moment (I'm okay here).:

The Linux Foundation has a new CEO, Ted Ts'o, an IBM guy (the
heavyweights are out):
