Seeing the light?

For whatever reason - CreditCrunch anyone? - Amazon UK announced yesterday that henceforth all orders totalling more than £5.00 would be delivered free (albeit slowly). A good thing. Certainly there was something suspicious about a lot of items coming in at £14.98 when the minimum spend for free delivery was £15.00. Kind of encouraging you to stick that £4.99 CD on at the end. Or is that the mean teuchter or gotta-buy-a-CD reverse psychology. So now the first port of call might not be Play.com.
A not such a good thing. I've probably been guilty in the past of not acknowledging sources. Sometimes the same information comes from so many different blogs, RSS that it's difficult to tell where the info originated. Shame, then, on LearnTech News for not crediting Open Culture for the New Yale Open Courses story which they (he) has posted nearly 8 hours earlier.
