The study, Making Sense of Censorhip, found that three quarters of those surveyed thought cuts in movies shown on television were the least appropriate methods of controlling content. The movie box office in New Zealand is down almost 10 percent this year compared to last. It s those new-fangled DVD things, apparently.

If all goes well, the 115 million U.S. commuters stuck in their cars for half a billion hours every week will soon be able to pick and choose exactly what they want to listen to usually without commercials and the sounds will never fade away, no matter where they drive, coast to coast. Beginning in the middle of next year, all the major auto makers will begin building cars with satellite radio receivers as standard equipment, appearing first in luxury models.

In that case, I've got a few tips for you.
