News Ltd are continuing their move towards charging for online content, with the first Australian newspaper to throw up a "paywall" being The Australian.

''We also discovered one [other] file, which had not been destroyed but could not be located,'' Ms Carpenter wrote.
Today's timewaster is entanglement from Martin. I think we've seen something similar before.
