A feature, not a bug

 

Doctorvee writes about the BBC's new "iPlayer".

He isn't impressed:

I mean, just look at it. You can’t use it on a Mac. You can’t use it on Linux. You can’t even use it on the latest version of Windows. And even if you are lucky enough to be using the correct operating system, you have to be using the right browser.
I'm not really surprised. We're dealing with the same phenomenon as when the NHS brings in a new computer system. Governments are all about force. That's what makes them different from civil society. The BBC, like the NHS, is never going to give priority to the customer. That's not in its nature.
