So downloaders still need to be sued because they're hurting the music industry. Prices on online stores need to be raised because it's so successful. I guess it all adds up... right?
There's a small company called SSB Technologies in San Francisco that my brother used to work for that helps companies make their products accessible to people with disabilities (primarily those who are blind).
I just switched over to linux (not entirely, but my linux partition is bigger than my windows partition now), and it is very similar to Windows. Why did I switch then? I'm still not real familiar with Unix operating systmes, though I feel like Linux will help me feel more in touch with my computer once I learn. But Windows is certainly easier, when I download gaim for windows I don't have search the web for all sorts of dependencies to allow it to run. Linux isn't easier to use than Windows or OS X and it's not better for the average user, yet. But the biggest problem I see is a lack of innovation, it needs to be something different than Windows, it needs it's own killer app, it's own unique feature (while I understand it has many, it doesn't have many that appeal to the average user). Despite these complaints, I use Linux because I like the idea of open source, and I think it has the potential to be better than Mac OS X and Windows, because thousands of people are working to make this product more secure and better everyday.
I feel kind of lucky that I put off actually buying the easy-to-install version of SuSE now that I can download it for free. $30 is a good deal; free is better.

This article looked much more interesting when I thought it said "Companies Asked to Donate Unused Pants."

Isn't it people who download movies that put people like stuntmen out of jobs?
