The Parrot project's VM (mostly oriented towards Perl 6) would be a much better target, especially since work on that dynamic language register-based virtual machine has already been going on for some time, even for Python.
Look up Schrade. They have a good multitool line-up. I had one for a couple of years (got taken by airport security), and it was incredibly durable. The blades and screwdrivers all locked, and the tools open out the side so you don't have to worry about opening the pliers handles to get to the tools.
Your logic is flawed. Unless you are living in the 60's, you would have realized that inflation has caused $1 to be an expendable amount of money. Any 20oz soft drink from a vending machine costs $1, and lasts you for a very limited duration of enjoyment. The value of a song is comparable, considering the fact that if you pick songs you have a high probability of liking, you will end up with somewhere around the same duration of enjoyment as a soda. People don't bitch nearly as much about sodas costing a dollar, and to me it seems like that price for a song is very reasonable.
I don't use the Apple music store; I'm still old fasioned, going to the record store to pick up CDs I like. Somehow I still find enjoyment in the concept of experiencing an album. These days people enjoy the downloading, burning, and whining more than they enjoy the music of our culture.
I had to stop in the middle of reading this article because the only positive description word used is 'intuitive'. It reminds me of the use of 'inconceivable' in the Princess Bride.:-P

Thank goodness we have a president who understands that increased taxes means decreased freedom. The Internet should be free from the IRS.
The senator must know this would never go anywhere, so I think he is just trying to get some brownie points from the anti-porn segment of the public.
