BBC iPlayer — 'Making the unmissable, unmissable'

Iplayer

There's something about that British understatement....

This is a wondrous thing.

Long story short: Launched last December, it offers a week's worth of previously broadcast TV content. About 500,000 programs a day are downloaded.

Could prove to be addictive and lead to a signicant decline in job performance.

Fair warning.

Note added at 10:45 today: "Unfortunately, it only allows UK folks to download."

Thanks, Janice, for the heads-up.

Those Brits — aren't they something?

It says they are working on an international version. I hope they do so soon.
