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 about...

Russell Brown's Hard News

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, it...
