Hard News: Who owns the news?, in reply to DCBCauchi,
…in combination with some 21st century tactics.
Quick, mobile, adaptive…Just like the New York Times – who shift the blame on the run…
Harking back to the media’s cavalier attitude to science and corrections, Whatsupwiththat have a nice story on the Telegraph misplacing the North Pole…
Here’s a story about a monologue that made Steve Wozniak cry…
Plus early pamphlet/propaganda printing links for a wet night in or idle browsing (these may not touch on the printing on the salvage aspects that DCBC refers to above, but they are still hours of interesting reading):
Propaganda in the ReformationPamphlets, printing, and political culture in the early Dutch Republic
The function of the new media in seventeenth-century England
and this doesn’t even get into Hogarth and Gillray, et al or the German street sheets or Ben Franklin's printing endeavours or modern underground press….
Print will never die!

Albatross...
Has John Key spent his political capital by casting his lot with
the loser Warriors...
He is certainly the albatross round all our necks, can we keep him away from the rest of the All Blacks games, please...The ticket that exploded...
Ross, very sorry to hear about your loss, did you try the police in case someone had handed them in? -

or
choose the 'blindly consume our resources, and marginalise many people, with no forward thought' path
My gut feeling is there may be statistically less physical (face-to-face) violence in the present age - but much of the military violence is at a remove by drone or bombs - much like our culture it is mediated by devices - and there does seem to be a lot of psychic violence, passive aggression, lowering of self esteem and general sense of disconnected hopelessness... just as dangerous and deadly... -

Watson a name?
at the risk of ©odwinningthe the thread - I hadn't been aware of the Madrid Protocol prior to reading thisKiwi businesses will need to get their trademark acts in order before New Zealand enters an international treaty next year that could prompt an intellectual property land-grab.
A New Zealand intellectual property practice has issued the warning before the Trade Marks Amendment Bill brings New Zealand into the Madrid Protocol.
The protocol allows international organisations to register a trademark in any other protocol country in a single procedure. -
Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
the goo dearth...*
Please excuse me while I pop off to use it.
Good to know that Pooh Corner is still in the Hundred Acre Wood...

Shock! Horror! Dan Carter doubled up in agony on the practice field...
A nation goes into cardiac arrest...
Is it too early to blame those tight lunch-wrap underwear he is probably contractually obliged to wear?Le Coq-up Sportif...
...if we let Canada win by 50+ points today,
they will go through instead of France?I love this idea, it embraces the sporting ideals (gamesmanship?) the RWC embodies - like fining the Samoans for someone wearing the wrong mouthguard, and don't start me on some of the reffing decisions I did see in that SA/Samoa game...

Up against the Wall....
Shows the power of the social media, and the collective action of real people, over the big corporates. Very heartening.
dumb cop action has resulted in the unions getting involved and Occupy Wall Street is getting bigger...

OnPoint: Set it on fire, then, in reply to DCBCauchi,
In Christchurch around 1989, perhaps?
if not earlier...
