"Greg Dyke: Two years after the war, one year after Hutton. Why hasn't Blair resigned yet? 28 January 2005 Today marks the first anniversary of the publication of the infamous Hutton report which led to my departure from the BBC and that of my chairman, Gavyn Davies. Looking back 12 months, and knowing what we now know, the saga has an unreal quality because, today, there is no doubt that the BBC story which led to our departures was fundamentally right when it said that Downing Street had sexed up the case for going to war in Iraq."

Skype for Mac OS X :: Skype Mac OS X 1.0 released. [forum.skype.com] Good to see this out of beta at last. Over the last few months, I've been using Skype for almost all long distance calls (with SkypeOut) and have saved a lot. The stability and sound quality on Mac OS X has been getting better and better. It doesn't look as though there are many changes from the previous beta - unfortunately the multiperson chat that the Windows version has is not yet there. 1:06:31 PM    comment []  trackback []
