I wonder how much of this increase has been due to the ThinkPad line moving from IBM to Lenovo? IBM ThinkPads were often cited as the most reliable notebooks after Apple, but many people (rightly or wrongly) don't seem to feel the same about Lenovo's ThinkPads. And now that Apple notebooks can run Windows...
Sure, he's still filthy rich despite how much he has given, but if he was as evil as many slashdotters would like to have it, why wouldn't he keep it all? Or spend the money to build an evil headquarter in an inactive volcano?
How do you know he hasn't? I bet he has a receipt for 800 orange boiler suits somewhere too;)
Apple have been pretty smart with this new iPod. The old mantra is "no-one wants to watch a movie on a portable player". Might be true - but Apple have sidestepped that issue by selling TV shows, not movies, at launch. TV shows are shorter (less tiring to watch on a small screen, quicker to download) and more profitable (TV shows already make money through advertising - this is just extra cash for them); and they don't compete so directly with DVDs like downloadable movies do (most of these shows will be offered for download before they're even available on DVD).
Very smart.

A massive step backwards though this is for Finland, us folks in Australia have it worse. IIRC over here you're not allowed to copy or rip a CD at all, regardless of whether it has copy protection or not.

640 fonts should be enough for anyone.
This is a Unix-> Linus transition.

I just had this vision of Linus running around an air traffic control tower guiding 10 planes down at once with a megaphone
But for sure, the expensive part in a DVD player is certainly not the laser.
That's right - it's the DVD!

There's one big problem with your plan: oceans. Unless you were talking about a US-only internet? ;)
But the company has left a little something -- mostly user interface tweaks -- for the volunteers

From most of the OSS projects I've seen, the UI is the last thing I'd let them tweak.
Last I checked, it is still illegal here to make a copy of the music on a CD you own, for any reason at all
So if you burn your freshly-purchased iTMS tracks to a CD in Australia (as permitted/suggested by Apple), are you breaking Australian law?
