BBC News ticker
07:57:44 am, Categories: Miscellaneous For years, I had the BBC News ticker running on my laptop. This got me real news, not the crap that goes under "news" in the US...
Unfortunately, the BBC hadn't updated the ticker for years, and it didn't work all that well on XP.
I finally found the time to look around for a replacement. It turns out that the BBC offers a new ticker, as part of their BBC News Desktop Alert system. That works quite well.
I also found a Linux implementation of the BBC ticker. That solves my other main complaint about the news ticker, the lack of a Linux version.
