I’m no design geek, but these font articles are weirdly interesting. This one questions whether Gill Sans was really an improvement at all.

Most people who downloaded Radiohead’s newest didn’t pay for it. U.S. residents were more likely to pay than Europeans.

I’m rather happy that I paid nothing for the Radiohead album for the following two reasons:
1. It only comes in a 160 bitrate format, which is not up to snuff.
2. The actual album will include a lot more songs.
I’ve read in several places that this “revolutionary new approach to music vending” is actually more of a marketing technique, since the online product is crippled and incomplete.
That said, my free download is rocking my socks off, yet I feel no guilt. Perhaps it’s the $30 I paid for my Radiohead t-shirt on the OK Computer tour.
320 or 160: i cannot tell the difference. my dumb ears are fine with whatever compression is available north of 128.
i paid $4. money well spent.
