(Apr 27, 2001, 22:30)
An early win for the Mozilla project was NeoPlanet's decision to

Mozilla.

SurePlayer.org announces first open source MPEG 1 Java Audio/Video Player (Apr 27, 2001, 21:33)
This is a non-proprietary, open-source MPEG-1 audio/video player
built on Java and, by extension, mostly platform agnostic. We say
"mostly" because our own examination revealed no sound on either
Netscape 4.x (which the company says they expect) or Netscape 6.01
(which isn't supposed to be the case.) At any rate, please read the
announcement, try out the demos, and make sure to share your
successes (or failures) with other readers.

somewhat higher requirements, it is very faithful to the original.
I could find no differences between gameplay in Linux and in Win98.
As a matter of fact, you can even argue that it is better in Linux
because Shogo doesn't lock up with NVIDIA cards like the original
does."

The Register: Goodbye MS IE? AOL revs up for browser wars two
(Apr 27, 2001, 15:16)
We might not ordinarily be interested in a story about what a
pair like Microsoft and AOL are up to, but this article hints at
the possibility that Microsoft's loss (in the form of losing its
status as AOL's default browser) might be Mozilla's gain.
