These products need to be labeled as "Non User Serviceable Supplies" when they are displayed for sale. This would inform the potential customer that they must purchase all replacement and support goods for this item through the manufacturer.
No, that means I am not supposed to be able to muck around opening the thing up and trying to refill it myself. Actually, when I see that on a product, it means I am probably about to get electrocuted again when I finally pry the thing open.
That says nothing about WHO manufactures the replacements to most people.
I got shuttled down to New York, and I got VIP seating, and I was like, "Wow, I'm at the Oscars or something," but then I was like, "No, I'm at Macworld."
That's how everybody feels at Macworld, sweetheart...
True, but Project Gutenberg is a repository for digital copies of literature that are public domain. To remain a legitimate entity, they can't publish copyrighted works (without the author's consent).

The books that are being converted are whatever people feel like contributing.
Don't think your favorite authors are being represented? Can you demonstrate that the work is out of copyright? Make the conversion yourself!
Doing the hard work yourself is the best way to guarantee your interests are represented.

So, last year, they had an estimate of 13-14 billion. This year, it's 11-20 billion. Yeah to scientific progress!
Doh! The headline must be mistaken... it should have read 13,000,000,001 to 14,000,000,001 y/o for this year's estimate.
