Reversing the invasion with Tze Ming
Mok
Having spent a lot of time in China in my life, I
hardly ever think of it as a Bizarro-World where people walk
around upside down, read back to front, and eat inside-out.
Then I saw Winston Peters speaking at Peking University in
praise of all things Asian. Here's a...

Keith
Ng: Because contiguous data shouldn't be graphed with
goddamn bars
There's some pretty heated debate over at No
Right Turn and Kiwiblog about the nature of KiwiSaver, and
unfortunately, I think both DPF and I/S are very far off the
mark. It's taken the weekend to sink in, but the simple and
obvious truth is that...

Graham
Reid's many things
I just caught a glimpse of him out of
the corner of my eye when I heard him shout "Why don't you
keep quiet". Or words to that effect, with unprintable
expletives included. He was dressed in a lawyer's suit, had
close-cropped hair, had those mad staring eyes like
Chris...

Russell Brown's
Hard News
The first time I won a Qantas Media Award, I
kissed my editor. To be frank, the winning column doesn't
really rank amongst my best work, but it represented an
early exploration of the internet in the mainstream media,
and I was well pleased. It felt good to be
inside...

Public Address Science (transcript): The Science Behind The Three Most Important Words In The English Language | May 20, 2007 17:53
David Haywood from Christchurch
What causes
people to fall in love and form relationships, and what do
they look for in a potential mate? Is it true that girls
only want boyfriends who have great skills -- such as
nunchuck skills, bow-hunting skills, or computer hacking
skills? We talk to Professor Garth Fletcher,
a...

Graham Reid's
many things
Since I first seriously reviewed an album
about 36 years ago (the George Harrison triple set All
Things Must Pass) I guess I have written about somewhere in
excess of maybe 6000 records/CDs/tapes etc -- and of course
I have heard many, many more than that. Some people are
well-read,...

Russell Brown's Hard
News
What a week! Intrigue! Freedom The Budget! But also,
the first All Black squad in World Cup Year! At noon! In
truth, there aren't really that many games between now and
the tournament, and the "conditioned" All Blacks are looking
manifestly short of a gallop. The selection for the
impending...

Keith Ng:
Gettin' yo' medicine down
Hell has frozen over: Cullen has
sold a macroeconomic jab in the arm as a political lollipop.
It's not really about your retirement. It's about the more
pressing issues that the New Zealand economy faces in the
medium-term. It's about getting a grip on the current
account deficit, it's

PC World's Annabel
McAleer has managed to extract news of iTunes NZ's pricing
for new DRM-free, higher-quality tracks from Apple: and the
pricing isn't pretty. A single-track purchase will cost
$2.49 - a premium of 70 cents over the non-DRM, 128k
version. If this sounds a lot,
