Easter Update – Digital Planet podcast

Today I found the BBC’s Digital Planet podcast which had an interview with Brendan Eich, who is the chief technical officer at the Mozilla foundation. In this he talks about what will be coming in the future for Mozilla, and it all sounds very exciting.

He discusses how the internet will take advantage of 3D graphics technology, which they are working on for Firefox in a few generations time. This could have a huge impact not only for the web, but for the whole computing industry. I’d imagine Apple will have to beef up the graphics capability of its Mac computers when these changes come into effect. It looks like we will have to be even more multi skilled in a few years time. Anyway, the show can be downloaded from Itunes (just search for ‘Digital Planet’ in the Itunes Store front) or can be downloaded as an MP3 from here. Happy Easter to all.
