I think you'll find 'potatoes' were brought to the 'Old World' by Raleigh. If the word existed before then, it was a Native American word. It definitely isn't old-English or even cod-old-English.
BTW 'anglophile' is the generally accepted spelling.
It may be welsh. I definitely know it flew when chaucer was around.
Nope. Nope.
It entered English in the C16th from Spanish who got it from Taino Indians.
I can't believe the ignorant racist comments in this thread.
There is not a government on this planet that has not passed an ill thought out law.
Could someone remind me which country is currently spending millions of dollars in order to find out wether or not its leader had an extramarital affair ?
Raciscm is racism. Just because the majority of Europeans are white doesn't make a shade of difference.
Some of you children really should think before making such foolish comments. It reflects poorly on your country.
If anyone bothers to read the article, they'd see that apple has been charging for firewire all along. Early adopters have been paying a 'flat fee' rate since day one.
Who knows ? it is entirely possible that given the low volume of firewire peripherals, the pro rated unit cost of the license agreement may be more than $1.
This may be CHEAPER than prior licensing arrangements.
It also lowers the 'entry cost' for intending firewire developers.
This is NOT a case of Apple saying "here's something cool you can have for free" and then changing its mind.

Europe didn't have potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco or presidential sex scandals before the discovery of America.

This is a joke right ?
