Elaborate head wear and an aquatic animal with a periodical and a timepiece thrown in for good measure - whatever will they think of next on this media management course? Tonight Peter Block set us a task to make a game using a hat, a fish, a newspaper and an alarm clock. This is my attempt: To begin The players...

Microsoft have announced that they will no longer develop new versions of their web browser Internet Explorer, for the Apple Mac.
