Interesting post at RWW here about DRM and downloads, including the following quote from someone "close to the industry":
Value is ascribed to things that people covet- at one point people coveted what they downloaded. They still do to some extent (ie, dimeadozen and the bootleg market, which is a nice self regulating distribution system) but with rapid adoption of one behavior, the commodity behind it shifts and goes toward ubiquity, ie free. You just have to shift what people will covet. It's the same way with books, newspapers, TV, movies, memory, CPU, etc - every free market system follows this path. Intellectual capital complicates it but can also provide more impetus to be innovative.

David - you have to market the politically incorrect calendar. I would so buy one. And it has legs - you could do a different religious leader every year.

Can't remember the exact wording but there were a few too many Great War comparisons on Morning Report. A player compared the smell in the changing room to a WW1 battlefield, and then someone said something about the ABs being "sent out to their deaths".
Something not quite right there ...

So I should re-list the component-HD-input-only HD tube TV that I bought off TradeMe two days ago.
Dang.

Wait, Russell - are you saying the terrestrial Freeview box will only have HDMI as the HD output? Not HD component as well (like the Apple TV)?

Can I just say that the best Dr. Who companion was, in fact, Jo Grant.
