Ditto John.
The front page loads a treat, just don't expect to read any of the stories.
In the case of Coddington, that is a good thing.

after 22mins I gave up trying to see what that most esteemed journo is up to now.
Sure the firefox solution works, but when you're confronted with the ugliest banner add in the history of the world. Haven't they got any dignity. FXCM needs shooting.
Why the hell would you dillute your look.
This round goes to Stuff.

whole idea of life + 50/70/etc years to be rather repugnant, surely the exclusive economic control over an artistic work should have no relation to the length of time the creator lives
this is only mildly interesting, but Cliff Richard being the sad old bugger he is, has outlived his copyright and has/is (?) going through a battle to retain his control over his music.
As for prision, as long as I have 5 yearsw worth of music on my ipod I'll be happy.
really music companies and stores are taking the piss.
Last week in an effort to continue supporting them in the face of iTunes, I tried to request 2dvd's and 1 cd from a high street music retailer.
No.
What?
No
What?
No, we can't get it for you.
What?
We'd have to get it from the states
But it's over at real groovy
Can't get it
What?(I had a birthday cd voucher with these guys - music the gift that keeps giving - even to jail apparently).
back over to real groovy
Got it, that will be $47
What?
$47
What?
$47 it's an import.
But it's $17.99 on iTunes
sorry.Now I am a sad individual who once spent 8 1/2 hours in the virgin mega store in Vancouver (Stalking Joe Walsh took 1 hr), and I love record stores galore. But this sort of legislation and in the face of iTunes store and faster broadband, I better have a prision suitcase packed and ready for the men who will come knocking on my door.
Pathetic, but at least we know Sony will be able to spy on us legally, good legislation people?

Hey all,
gotta thank PA System for the heads up on the Coddington article.
After reading this post I made my way to my fav coffee shop to digest it all. I actually thought the article on the Orgasm researcher was way more interesting.
Anyway not being one to hold back the opinions, I sent the classic "outraged of Karori" into North & South and won letter of the month.
So cheers guys $800 case of Moet was al down to this post.

Nige,
if the Herald is looking for interactivity, look no further than the simple audio visual featurette on this page about the passing of the Atlantic music mogul Ahmet Ertegun.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/16/arts/music/16erte.html?_r=1&oref=sloginWithout going into full on flash or video, it's simple and effective. Great use of sound and vision.

code from one of the companies serving ads to the site
If I had 5c for everytime this has happened in the last year...
When will they learn?
Don't laugh people, but at the moment (competing thesis), I'm spending at least 4 hrs a day online if not more, and I'm getting a little sick of adds supplied from other servers holding things up.
Plus also I just like sticking to the one browser (you don't switch between Word and Pages because one doesn't work properly).
the time it's taken for me to write this post, the Herald is still stuck between pages.
At least PA System doesn't have this problem. Cheers for the heads up Russell.

forget the content, i'd just like to be able to see the thing.
Seriously is it me, or is the herald a dog to load.
I'm on a fast mac on a fast varsity connection using safari. What's the guts, it just hangs.
Argh, back to stuff.co.nz
