  • Hard News: One Million Tunes,

    I just set up an account when prompted. It didn't have a New Zealand option for the address (I used CA 90210) but they were happy to take my card and deliver the bits.

    I signed up to a service, Game Tap, that said it was US only. When I was cancelling the service and told them I'd lied about my address they offered me a month's free subscription if I stayed on.

    Wonder what these companies are trying to avoid by imposing the US only restriction upfront (creating the appearance that they're not infringing the copyright oof their content providers?).

    The purported cuteness of little Maddy had no effect on me, despite her larger than life-size picture being plastered over every European customs terminal I've passed through in the last three months. Italian bakeries. Swiss bus shelters. The sides of cardboard box houses of homeless people.

    It is quite stunning how cuteness can get people so exercised. It's made me appreciate Free Tibet bumper stickers in a way I hadn't previously.

    Heh, love NRT's description of bloggers "sad bastard at computer keyboard picks nose, has opinion".

    dunno how in the hell he got a webcam in my office....

    He's looking through your window (hope for his sake you were wearing pants)!
