Watch 1940s British Council films :
Made by the British council to document life in the UK in the 1940s, this collection of more than 120 short films is one of the best things we’ve seen online all year. Videos such as The Little Ships of England. Message From Canterbury and Women in War-time give a Fascinating glimpse of a time decades before Wi-Fi, touchscreen tablets and e-readers.
Some of the videos were made as part of a ‘cultural propaganda’ response to the Nazi message that Britain was in decline, and it’s easy to see how films like English Criminal Justice and Land of invention would’he helped people to keep calm and carry on.

As always with beta versions, there may be a few bugs, so make sure you back up your pc before installing it. Plus, it’s likely to class with existing security software on your machine.

Play Wolfenstein 3D online
To celebrate the 20th birthday of classic first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D, the game’s developers have made it available to play online for free. You play an American soldier escaping a nazi castle during World War Two.
We’d all but given up on Firefox Mobile; previous version were slow to load and crashed regularly; syncing with our Desktop rarely worked; and didn’t like the way tabs were displayed. However, after seeing the latest beta release of Firefox’s Android app, we might be willing to give it another go.
The new design looks great, although this wasn’t a surprise because we saw leaked previews of how it looks in January. The homepage, called the awesome screen, doesn’t quite live up to its name, but it’s an improvement on older versions because it looks more likes its Desktop equivalent. on the awesome Screen, you can see thumbnails of your top sites and restore tabs and open new ones, click the tab icon. FireFox remembers your open tabs if you hide the browse but , if you choose to quite the app instead, you,ll have to restore tabs next time. chrome for Android remembers your tabs all time, but it doesn’t have a quite option.
The Awesome Screen only appears if you quite the app the last time you used it. We’d prefer it to show on each new tab like chrome’s homepage doesn’t on its mobile browser ,but you can open it by typing about:home in the address bar. however, Firefox’s app isn’t far behind chromes now. its overall performance is much better ; it launches quickly ; tabs and web pages load fast; and syncing is slicker.
