Apple doesn't litigate against folks who install OS X on non-Apple hardware, unless you're trying to make a business out of it and sell the resulting machines:
Are there any free DGPS data providers? Difficult to integrate into mobile platforms like Android? I spoke with the developer of GPS Status for Android and we were discussing WAAS integration, but apparently not enough of the low-level GPS system is available to android apps.
This. Everyone uses Chrome. IT policy is to use the web browser for email, calendaring, etc. You *can* use Outlook if you prefer, but it's IMAP only, and calendaring is through the web still. Works like a fucking champ.
We run a mixed OS X/Windows 7 environment. We use AD/Open Directory, but mail is done by Google Apps (as well as calendaring, etc), DHCP/DNS/etc. is done by network gear. Is Lion great? Meh. With email/calendar outsourced, the only thing we need it to do is directory services, software updates, etc., which it does fine.
Actually, it's less than that if you're just counting postage ($0.44/envelope/each way). Doesn't take into account labor and physical depot costs, but you're amortizing those over millions of mailings.
Actually, as consumers and citizens, their content plays by our rules. Give it to us for a fair price, or watch it get distributed over the net for free.
We are not cows to be milked. As others have said, Fuck 'em.

Get a CradlePoint router. I manage 20+ of them remotely, and they'll load balance/failover to any number of connections based on how many ethernet ports the device has. We're using the MBR1400, which has 5 USB ports for multiple cellular/wimax adapters, but also has 5 ethernet ports, which can be configured in any number of lan/wan interfaces. It also does ping tests across the devices you're using so you really know when the connection is down (instead of relying on local link status). Failover, load balancing of WAN links, all for $320.

We already pay for Google Apps ($50/user/year) which is CHEAP compared to time wasted dealing with internal mail servers, etc.
Torrent hashes in the DHT should have tags, so your torrent client can comb through the torrent hases automatically downloading those tags.
Apologies, I should've been specific. Our IT policy is "Web browser for all Google Apps services, Outlook users are on their own".

Why not just cut journals out completely and rely on PubMed Central as the authoritative source?

I don't need a video streaming business. That's what bittorrent and massive amount of disk is for.
So partner with other tech companies (Apple, etc) who need easier access to the content, and perform hostile takeovers of the studios.
What? You thought media companies were bigger than tech companies? Better check those market caps again.
It costs Netflix about $1 for turn around of a DVD via mail to you. A streaming film? 2.5 cents

Amazon's S3 is based off of MogileFS (the concept, not the code): http://danga.com/mogilefs/
And if you want to run an S3 compliant system internally, you'll us openstack.org's object storage system:
http://www.openstack.org/projects/storage/
Ability to provide object storage services at multi-petabyte scale
Free open source software, no licensing frees, ‘open-core,’ or ‘freemium’ model
Written in python; easy to differentiate your offering with extensions and modifications
Compatibility and established ecosystem with industry standard OpenStack API
Support for Amazon S3 API for easy inbound migration
Completely multi-tenant, with billing integration hooks
Pluggable authentication mechanism for SSO integration
Integrated reseller model allows for resale of services
1) Build 135TB box 2) Install Openstack.org's Object Storage system (free! Amazon S3 API Compliant!) 3) Profit? Fuck profit! STORE ALL THE THINGS!
You have no idea....
I'm adding this to my to-do list for this week.
I imagined that as being said by Billy Mays

Its actually easier to warm a cold place than warm a hot place. In a cold climate, you just add more computer equipment.
For every watt you put into computer equipment, that's a watt you have to burn cooling said equipment (when having to cool the equipment).
