Yep, everyone else in the industry gets scared by what id has done, realises that they can't possibly compete with id's new engine before id comes out with a new one that makes it look obsolete, so they licence the new Doom\Quake\Doom again engine from id, and id makes big bucks. And by the time a decent enough number of people have a gaming rig capable of playing it at >5fps those licensees will have developed many more games based on the engine.
Star Trek (TOS) was cancelled because the overall ratings were low, if they had bothered to do a bit more market research they would have found that 18-32 year old men with money in their pockets were watching the show in droves.
Paramount realise this now and can spend $3.5m an episode on Enterprise even with its relatively low ratings because geeks with money watch it, so they can sell advertising at higher rates.
I finished Uni in '99 and I was using it then. The (rather small, admittedly) Operating Systems and later the Operating Systems Design courses were entirely based on Minix.
Think of all those viruses that emerge from Asia. I'd bet that more than a few of them never touched a computer in their home country, yet the authors will still be arrested by the local authorities.
The US needs to realise that Joe Evilmediaguy is not above the laws of other nations.

Yep, that's Google told. They won't be invading any more Middle Eastern countries.

Now that Futurama is no more, how about hiring all of the animators from that, including the 3D guys ?

Good point.

If so, does it apply here ? Could the Australian authorities legitimately request the extradition of said media executives ?
No it doesn't. EPOC = Symbian Platform, not Microsoft.
