vile8 writes "Bob Young, co-founder of Red Hat Software, is in the NY Times this morning covering a new co-operative business plan for viral video makers. Just like his Self-publishing site Lulu, the new plan provides 80% of the revenues back to the creators. It is based on something quite common, Co-ops. In this plan, if there were 5000 users at 14.95 each there would be 59,800 that would get divvied up among those that brought traffic to the site. The 'pro' users also get larger upload space, and longer cam captures. Other unique features of the site are the podcast generation per author, author vlog pages, and open-source-specific OGM video format conversions."

    This is OT but here is the founder of Red Hat in a NYTimes article featuring a picture of him with his laptop. What laptop is it? A Mac. And what OS is it running? Mac OS X. I'm sure that really breeds confidence in the Red Hat desktop hackers. You fail it Havoc.
