This is anawful idea. This is like corporate socialism. So i buy a server for a cad system and $10 or $20 bucks go to artists? No. If the music industry can not sustain itself, whatever, let it burn. Don't glom onto other industries.
I believe it is only hurting the cause of the MPAA(not that I agree to begin with) when these hideous people are receiving gifts of $600 pj's, mink eyelashes and Spa treatments, just to BE AT the Oscars. There is a couple of million dollars worth of ONLY gift baskets for these people at the Oscars. Why should anyone sympathize with the MPAA crying that someone downloaded a couple of files? Right wrong or indifferent Hollywood is way overblown.
How about Using Cellular traffic to predict traffic jams. Chances are if many people are on phones or using their PDA's while driving, there'll be a traffic jam soon. (not to call the kettle black and say i never talk on the phone while driving tho)

I can still run 'Dark Castle' on OSX. Who needs more than that?!
"...track and destroy hostile ballistic missiles."
Do they define what a 'friendly' ballistic missle is?
