Bill Hooven posted the News 3 clip on his site if you want a look at the rock pile.

Per Bill....

"It's 10MB or so and lasts 3 or so minutes. I'd prefer if you right-clicked the file, saved it on your computer and then played it as opposed to just clicking on the link."

Be nice to Bill's server/wallet and save it to your Desktop before playing it...
