I pulled up their financial reports for 2013, that information is probably buried within other numbers.
I'm willing to bet they could be saving a ton of money by CHARGING small amounts for these materials... But what do I know...?

Driving stoned without eating, and driving with low blood sugar, have very similar effects on driving performance. Maybe it's the "munchies" (low blood sugar) that's causing this...? I've seen PLENTY of people drive stoned and not make ANY mistakes what-so-ever.

Mega Finds New Home, Dotcom Says 115
hypnosec writes "Kim Dotcom has revealed that Megaupload's successor, Mega, which is reportedly launching on January 20, 2013, will be operating through a new domain name: Mega.co.nz. Through a tweet Dotcom announced that Mega has found a new home and that the new domain name is protected by the law. Dotcom also revealed that lobbyists won't be able to do anything about this, as 'judges are not influenced by politics in New Zealand.' Recent announcements about Mega's domain — Me.ga — didn't go as planned following a decision by the Government of Gabon to suspend the domain name. Dotcom had announced at the time that despite the blockage, Mega would launch as planned."

Hobbit Pub Saved By Actors Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen 169
Fluffeh writes "Recently the Hobbit Pub in England was sued for rights infringement, but it seems Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen are going to re-pony-up the cash to keep the pub alive. Landlady Stella Roberts said she had been shocked by the actors' offer. She said: 'I had a telephone call on Saturday evening, while we were trading, from Stephen Fry's business partner and manager. That's when he told me. I was very shocked. They've said as soon as they finish filming they would like to come down and visit the pub.' However Ms Roberts said she was not celebrating just yet. She added: 'Until everything is in black and white, on paper, we're going to be a bit reserved because it could be $100 this year and $20,000 next year.'"
