I’ve just been reading the BBC news article about proposals to make users of the BBC iPlayer pay.

Personally I would be very annoyed about this. I rarely watch the BBC anyway so already paying for a service I do not use often and now they want to charge me more? About the only thing I watch is an hour of BBC Breakfast in a morning and I have found the iPlayer on my PS3 does make me get more value for money from the BBC licence fee. If the BBC charged to use the iPlayer I just wouldn’t watch it - I guess that’d solve a lot of their problems as they wouldn’t be forking out for streaming so much over the net…

What do you think? Would micropayments be taking the biscuit?

Has anyone else been having problems with Firefox recently? Sometimes it seems to just ‘break’ sites for the hell of it. Twitter is a favourite, the BBC News site rendered incorrectly today and it’s just happened with a website I am designing - it was looking OK til I refreshed it to check on a change I’d made and it broke. I thought I’d mucked up the code but it looked fine in Chrome and even IE8.

I have now switched my browser default to Chrome to try Google’s offering out more thoroughly.

What do you think? Are Mozilla growing to far too fast?
