Hard News: The not-so-Evil Empire, in reply to JonathanM,
You don't really own your copy of the app, rather you have a non-transferable license to use it in the form that was provided to you. It's a fundamentally different transaction, and I'm not sure whether folk always understand the restrictions that come along with it.
I'd say you're right. It's like the difference between owning a car or house and having access to one via a company or family trust.

He takes it all back to his last year at school, in 1969, when a lady teacher enthused to the class about ecology.
Did Trotter have a similar experience? Seem to be rather a few bruised penises in that generation's commentariat at the moment.

if you did go to the lecture you'd still get down the the Civic in time for the Cut Collective show
Funnily enough, InternetNZ's AGM is being promoted with the same logic.

But this was a talk for SCIENTISTS that, most unusually, was watched by a large international audience that probably had a large fraction of non-scientists.

Accountants don't tend to rely on mustering public support for their funding quite so much as scientists. And an event spruiked and broadcast worldwide is somewhat different than a cosy seminar with an invited audience.

My vote in 2014 is going to involve not hand-wringing, but teeth-grinding.
Winston, then? :)

thus they concentrate on the how rather than the what
You may want this to be the case, but it really isn't that way for any of us in this thread who have been patiently explaining how basic design enhances a focus on the content. It's not an either/or, and the skills don't have to reside in the same people.
Please accept with a little grace that some of us actually know what we are talking about, just like I'm not planning to tell any physicists they're wrong about science.

Simon Wilson's editorial column from that Metro education edition has now been posted online as a single-page scan.

Hard News: Who'd have thought?, in reply to Russell Brown,
Professionals were trying to make it work, for sure. But to me that's the difference between the political and practical points of view, between the dogwhistle and feeding the dog.
I'd say the Herald editorial accurately echoes the intended public political messaging which Giovanni's piece about the Metro schools edition critiques.
