i hates them, precious.

when anyone has a demonstrable fear of something, sorry Che, but did you read that comment?
not so sure that i'm afraid of the burbclaves, so much as cynical that whatever they're currently doing or using is completely meaningless to planning for places like tvnz.
look at the flip-top mobile phone for example, or sliding doors. there's a strong argument that star trek is the origin of these popular technologies.
but not because the show influenced consumption patterns. it's because the tech-heads who actually design and build these things are trekkies, and they were, undoubtably influenced by the show.
so if we translate that to tv consumption.
tech-heads are creating new consumption patterns. such as moving away from pushTV and towards self-programming.
the question becomes not whether the burbclaves will move away from pushTV. no-one likes ads and being fed bullshit. the question is (IMHO) in what way this same behaviour be exhibited among non-tech consumers?

At the Great Blend in Auckland I asked for a show of hands on who watched broadcast TV news more than three times a week. From a crowd of 300, not many hands went up
i was going to be pendantic about the audience that vox pop was conducted in not being representative...
but then thought, waitaminute, tech people are the leaders in this field - what they do will set trends for what happens out in the burbclaves.
someone tell tvnz to just close the doors. immediately.

As long as the team don't get overconfident after a few early walkovers.
can't see them crying "win-na" after a few walkovers.
my greater concern is injury. woodcock is bruised as well now.

The Romanians had trouble getting a Team together when the privious team died fighting for Ceauşescu. They were the secret police.
i'm not sure that's entirely accurate. the two main teams were based around the army and the police.
after the revolution the teams lost funding, so started to go downhill.
as for killed, a couple of team members were killed in the 89 fighting (on the side of the govt).

the dropkicks are very proud to have called it.

And we can only pray that Big Carl continues his miraculous run. When you look at the work that man does in a test match, it's scary.
i can't see if it is hayman very well, but i'm assuming you're talking about the second video on this post.
