Faking it, The Standard's front page

""The Memory Hole website alleges the Standard intended to deceive readers by inflating the size of the crowd. Wrong. It also claims we put together two different still-frames. Wrong again ... the Standard stands by its use of this page one picture." "

Then they should say in some small print down the side. "Photo digitally enhanced."

America's Broadband Dream Is Alive in Korea

Spending on broadband and other high-technology gear helped lead a transformation of the economy, pushing the overall information technology sector to about 13 percent of economic activity and making South Korea much less dependent on heavy industry.

Once a novelty, home shopping now makes up 8.7 percent of all retail sales, a rate that is expected nearly to double by 2005.

In 2001, SBSi, the interactive division of the Seoul Broadcasting System, started charging 500 South Korean won (about 40 cents) a show to watch soap operas and other streaming video programs. The service has attracted 1.8 million registered users; 4,000 more sign up every day.

57% Korea, 50% Canada, 22% US and we're right down the bottom with UK 11% BBi into homes. Plus, their average connection is 2meg and the pro's 32meg.

The digital nirvana we're all thinking about is some way off.
