  • Hard News: Episode One,

    The podcast link ( http://tvnz.co.nz/Media7PodcastMP4 ) doesn't work in iTunes for me. I get that exclamation mark that usually means the source file can't be found. Maybe they posted the link too early for the content?

  • Hard News: Geekstravaganza,

    Indications are that the major free-to-air networks will broadcast everything they can in HD, from launch. And launch is … sometime in April.

    "Everything they can" for TVNZ at the moment is pretty much nothing but the Olympics, according to today's Herald.

  • Hard News: Media 7,

    Even more reason for ditching Telstra cable for Freeview terrestrial. I'll still be able to watch Prime on UHF and won't miss any other cable channels, except possibly Rialto.

    Looking forward to the show, Russell. Is Mr. Frewen involved?

    (Adj.) Irresistably secksy. It's like, hot multiplied by infinity.
    Omgsohawt~

    "Ghey boiz r hawt! Teehee."
    "HAWT! Omg do me."

    In many US dialects they have a LOT-THOUGHT merger, i.e. they pronounce the words 'cot' and 'caught' as if they were homophones.

    So how do you pronounce "hawt"?

    Man, that drug ad. Hip, up-to-the minute, satirical and original use of a David Attenborough voice. Sure hits the target doesn't it?

    I love how E guy is so not smiling, and acid girl has to be having a bad one.

    The Guardian is utterly uncritical - just print the press release verbatim; job done.

    Where's Chris Morris when we need him?
