Hard News: Friday Music: Scary Young, in reply to Andrew G,
Anyway, I’m still making music and there’s a couple of preview tracks from the Golden Curtain album here if anyone’s interested
Nice.
And nice to know we have two former members of Garageland commenting here :-)

Hard News: Yes, there is a Media3, in reply to Rob Stowell,
And on credibly balancing the budget? Clinton made the point: arithmetic. What plan Romney and Ryan might have- and they’ve been bloody opaque about it- simply doesn’t add up.
Quite. Now they're claiming they'll make it add up by "closing tax loopholes", but are refusing to say what loopholes they'll close.

Hard News: Yes, there is a Media3, in reply to Sacha,
NBR has a roundup of the first hands-on reviews. Wired's is quite good:
"The iPhone 5 is the greatest phone in the world. It has top-notch hardware with a zippy new A6 processor and amazing four-inch display. Its new operating system, iOS 6, is slicker than slugs on ice. And its ultra-slim body, an all-glass and aluminum enclosure, is a triumph of industrial design. There is nothing not to like about the phone. It’s aces. Just aces.
"And yet it is also so, so cruelly boring." - Mat Honan
Our expectations are so high ...

Hard News: Yes, there is a Media3, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
I feel something is missing, today.
Heh. (a) I was travelling, and (b) I'm nowhere near interested enough to think about obseleting all my 30-pin peripherals.
I'm more interested in the forthcoming iMac rev and, possibly, the big TV play.

Hard News: Reviews: #NZGT and the Herald, in reply to Tom Semmens,
The “new” Herald’s “Our Network’s Top Stories” links directly to the NZ Women’s Weekly. Broadsheet trash in substance is now tabloid trash in form.
I actually think Herald homepage links to fellow APN titles the Woman's Weekly and The Listener are long overdue.

Given APN’s new owners, perhaps the Berliner format would have been more appropriate…
Nah. That's ACP, publishers of Metro, North & South etc, not APN.

Hard News: Reviews: #NZGT and the Herald, in reply to John Armstrong,
In terms of the headlines, I agree. All the curvey parts of the font (I’m sure there must be a fancy word for them) look pixelated. Makes me think that the page is always only partially loaded.
It's a WOFF web font that looks great if your browser can display it properly, and nasty if it can't. It should be fine in recent versions of Chrome and Firefox, but if you're an Internet Explorer user you need to get to IE9 or better.
Public Address uses a Typekit web font which creates similar issues for some people. If our text looks bitty, you can try disabling the font by clicking "disable" at the bottom right of every page.
