I am just struck by the fact that Balmer did not get his bonus. That means bonuses actually mean something at Microsoft, unlike the financial industry.
and I wonder what effect it will have on Flattr brand. Will it be the making of it? Will it bring it to the notice of people who would otherwise never have heard of it?

besides, it is not as if there are not plenty of geeky soldiers. I heard a presentation on how one outfit in Iraq downloaded all this free software because what they had was not sufficient for their needs and they did not have time to go through the procurement process, so they took the free software.
Why would you pay to use the products of an entity that is blackmailing you? Nobody ever won a war with their customers. Moreover, the message I get from this is that you can steal to your heart's content so long as you are not involved in political activism.

How long will it be before the average person again rallies around "No taxation without representation"? Judging by DC's experience, quite a while.
someone will put out a phone with built in privacy?
