BBC iPlayer

August 6th, 2007 by stephan

The mythical iPlayer (that’s been talked up for a good couple of years now) is the BBC’s video-on-demand service. It lets you download most BBC programmes from the last 7 days and watch them back on your PC.

As it’s not Mac-friendly, I can’t vouch for the quality of the video, but you can sign up for the beta testing phase now at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayerbeta/, and find out for yourselves…

Congratulations from everyone to Chantel and Conor on the arrival of their son, Cillian.

Google Maps - "raising the bar" with some super AJAX

August 6th, 2007 by schlemmsy
Customisable driving directions. Great interface and integration with live traffic conditions (US only and selected cities on).
Still, it’s pretty excellent.

Published as a video demo.

Conor’s review:
“There is only one word for that. Awesome (said with American accent). Probably
the best single Ajax feature that I have ever seen.”
