People use iTunes becuase the software is good and the system has the right amount of DRM. -> I can do everything I could with a CD. It has high enough quality and it is very easy to use. Now if some company got it's head out of it's ass and did the same thing for tv I would buy them in a heartbeat for a resonable price. I think $1 for without commercials with = quality to the HDTV torrents (which are great better quality and smaller file size than my freevo box does) would be fine. I wouldn't want to pay for tv with commericals, I don't know why should I if I want to download it.
The real problem is that the anonymity of the Internet makes it hard to tell the truth. In these kinds of situations you want anonymity. But you need to evaluate the truth. IE if you report a Rape you talk to a trained professional and are anonymous. That professional has enormous potential for abuse but is a person that can be held accountable for their actions. The anonymous e-mail has no such professional evaluation nor is that possible. This removes an important check to balance the system that is the real problem. If real help is to be offered it needs to be with trained professional in person on a case by case basis, every agrees there are not thousands of kids ready to commit these crimes stop acting like there are. Anonymity is fine there just needs to be reasonable check to balance the system. It in not possible to make a perfect system but this one is not acceptable.
Good luck modifying them. By the time they ship you won't be able to. At least not easily, it not to hard to remove the hard drive connector from the motherboard or jury rig the controller so it won't except IDE drives.
The linux repair disks mentioned in the article are the coolest and most useful Tech helper I have come across in a long time. This is the one mentioned in the article it works great.
I though the idea was the communication made it a marketplace. IE the feedback from me to the person or company I'm buying from is what's important and I don't feel that on the web. I do feel that in the interactions on the MUD I play and on several purchases I've made over usenet. The purchases I have made at BN.com or Amazon.com haven't given me that feeling.
I wonder if the Internet is really a revival of community and human interaction. I spent a fair about on time on the internet and the only time I have any sense of the market place interaction that is talked about in the Clue Train is when I'm mudding. That is not really a community in the sense what the world needs. The problems Industrialization caused the market place are shared in all different parts of our world. The World Wide Web may break Industries but it hasn't caused a revival of community. I believe the WWW has made community harder. Slashdot has the ability to build community but how much slower does the community build. The WWW has built many marketplaces but few communities and most of the oldest are dying from the WWW. Look at usenet and IRC.

Woot go batmud! I wish WoW hadn't sucked me away.
