 : DALEKS AUDITION FOR POP IDOL
   With Dead Kennedys cover version.
  
   Currently the UK media is saturated with Pop Idol
   coverage - a TV show to find a new singing star.
   Frankly we're all rather bored of it, and
   we thank James Craven and Joel Veitch from
   Rathergood for coming to the rescue.
   In their world - Pop Idol features Daleks
   singing punk.
   It's better that way.

 : NEW ADVANCED FLASH CHALLENGE
   With weird science song
  
   At B3ta we love setting challenges, we have
   our weekly photoshop challenge for all you
   photoshop nutters, and recently we've run
   a flash challenge - for the ambitious
   people who want to make web movies.
   We've dug out a fantastic tune, called
   "Why Does The Sun Shine." It's taken from
   a 1950's science-themed educational record.
   We want you to animate the song, and post it
   on the b3ta site.
   Download the song - it's a treat.

 : CAT TOILET DANGER
   More rubbish about kittens.
   What is it with the Internet and kittens?
   We haven't got a clue, but we're not ones
   to buck a trend, we'd rather leap on it
   and see what happens next.
   Here is our slide show warning of the dangers
   of leaving the toilet seat up with a cat
   in the house.

   The oddest chat room we've seen. Users define
   their own colours and font choices, creating
   an experience somewhere between art and shit.
