I am amused Russell does this reflecrt your own spin?
If by "spin", you mean "point of view", I guess it does.

On another tack I found myself agreeing with Rosemary McLeod for just about the first time.
McLeod has a special reason to think poorly of Idour. He was one of three ex-cops who scored a $780,000 defamation award as a consequence of one of her columns.

I can't seem to get tvnz new articles to play back on my mac. do I need to down load something?
Yes. You need to get the free WMV components for QuickTime here:

That makes Windows Media video (but not DRM-protected stuff) playable via QuickTime and it works very well.
It's also worth updating Flash, to make sure you can view TVNZ Ondemand clips.

I like TV - I just don't watch much of it in real time, what with torrents and MySky. Doctor Who and Heroes are our family bonding shows, and of course there's The Daily Show on series-link, downloaded BBC and PBS stuff, etc. You can watch lots of good TV if you put a little effort into it.
News? Increasingly I'm catching up on TV news items I'm interested in, and Close Up/Campbell Live stories, via the respective broadcasters' websites. Works for me.

A lot of the media over here are gearing up for a Tory victory at the next election. I'm not so sure.
Me neither. Assuming Labour and the Lib Dems are prepared to coalesce, it would be hard for the Tories to achieve a majority, wouldn't it? It always surprises me that this isn't much discussed in the British media.

Here are the converted prices, based on todays NBNZ tourist rates:
Thanks Rich - I was hoping someone would do that.
But on those figures, isn't the Euro non-DRM price slightly cheaper than NZ?
The UK price isn't surprising: CDs are bloody expensive there too.
BTW, how does iTunes work out domicile?
- IP address?
- Credit card currency?
- Billing address?
- Where you bought the iPod?
- All of above?Billing address of credit card. They'll deliver the bits anywhere so long as that's right.

even more astounding to me was the petrie dish and sainsburger stalking clearwater estate, with astonishing revelations such as "well david bain has changed over the past 13 years, he's grown up, he's more of a man" + the fact that under the lights she looked like a deer (doh?) in headlights
To be fair, Campbell Live also spent an inordinate amount of time determining that the good folk of Te Kauwhata were okay with their new neighbour. If there hadn't been yawning spaces of TV time to fill that could serviceably have been covered in one line of script.

I like Morgan's question earlier. But if you were in that scrum, and were only going to get one question before being shouted down by the others, what would you most want to know?
Um ... are Guns and Roses still relevant?
But seriously, I understand what you're saying - it was just that there was that few seconds where everything was filled with how-do-you-feel.
I don't envy the reporters having to to the jostling through - the Sainzer looked pissed off at one point. Ands there was a funny moment where a cameraman reached his hand forward and moved JC's immaculately-coiffed head several centimetres to the left to get his shot back.

Russell, your link to the tv3 web site is broken. It's mangled the public address url in there as well. As is Dave's above to the Stuff website, but people can just copy and paste that in.
Thanks - the Campbell link had a stray space in it - should work now. And Dave had mucked up his formatting.
