Ogg Theora In Firefox, With Wikimedia Support

An anonymous reader writes “Ogg Theora support for the HTML5 <video> tag is in the Firefox 3.1 nightlies. Theora is the only video format allowed on Wikimedia Commons, so Wikimedia people are pushing Wikipedia readers to download a nightly and try it out. Break it, crash it, report bugs, get it into good shape and nullify Apple and Nokia’s FUD the best way possible. They may have gotten the words ‘Vorbis’ and ‘Theora’ removed from the HTML5 spec, but the market will tell them when their browsers are sucking.”Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Microsoft says it needs more Internet Explorer 8 beta testers

With Beta 2 of the Web browser due next month, Microsoft is looking to sign up more official testers for Internet Explorer 8, saying it’s the only way for individuals to directly file bug reports.
Like with Beta 1, the second beta of IE8 will be made available for public download. Still, there’s good reason to become a participant in Microsoft’s IE8 Technical Beta program. In addition to filing a direct bug reports, official testers can be invited to other beta programs, such as Windows 7 or Office 14.
In addition, Microsoft occasionally makes beta builds available to testers that it does not release to the public, offering a chance to try out and provide feedback on new features in advance. With the final release of IE8 due later this year, it’s likely that interim builds will follow Beta 2.
