Neowin interviews Ben Goodger, Justin Frankel

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the up-close-and-personal dept.

mr_tommy writes "Neowin has had the pleasure of talking to two prominent figures in the I.T. world. First, Ben Goodger, chief developer of the excellent browser Firefox, and secondly, Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and many other products for Nullsoft. We've got Ben talking about Firefox, XUL, and the future at Mozilla; equally, Justin talks (humorously) about his past, Winamp, AOL, music, and what he's up to at the moment. Also, read on for some of his projects he thought about doing when he left Winamp, including setting up an interesting alternative to Windows 2000 based on Open Source software, similar to ReactOS."

    Of course. Another machine by Jay Miner and as usual the sound chip was really undocumented.

    I remember I was almost shocked when I see a friend sampling sound with joystick port, only 10 or 20 lines of 6502 assembly.

    Maybe that pushed him into sound and assembly?

    I even remember the chips name, POKEY. One of the chips in computer history never got used in its all power.
