"The actors work an average of six to seven hours each episode. However, the cartoon is thought to be worth $US1 billion to its owner, Rupert Murdoch's 20th Century Fox.
6.5hrs * roughly 22 episodes = ~143hrs per year
143hrs/24hrs= ~6 days
$125,000 * 22 episodes/year = $2,750,000/year
"If you don't like your job, you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."
This does not apply. How could these actors do their job half-assed? Not make their voices goofy enough, misread their script, they could always start showing up to work late!
These actors have ~359 days out of the year to pursue other ventures. They also have a great deal of capital for investment.
After all, the money is only as good as the hands it is in. Inversely, the its not the money that matters, its who you become while making the money.
I wonder how many hours of work Rupert Murdoch had to do / does each year to earn his salary...

How much money will this cost?
Microsoft has a monopoly over the PC OS market. That is the point that their attorney is blatantly stating. Only without using the term "monopoly".
He is just saying, "Put your hands back in your pockets, your going to get hurt."
This is a bluff. The last thing Microsoft wants is another fine, it will reflect in their stock's price and is obviously bad for shareholders.
