Operating systems aren't immortal beings, and by rights, there can't be (there shouldn't be) only one.
What? This directly contradicts the widely-known fact that Linux is The Highlander of operating systems.
What in heaven's name are you talking about? The headphones have no DRM built into them

Movies have star power. The general public doesn't care who made the game.
Most people don't care which studios make a movie either. Games have stars just the same as movies. Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Lara Croft, etc., they're all stars as well as characters that fall in from other media -- Star Wars comes to mind. Similarly they have behind-the-scenes "stars" as well, instead of well-known directors there are well-known game designers who add a cachet to their productions (Will Wright, Sid Meier, etc.).
Soon the only jobs left on the planet will be: 1) prostitute 2) mercenary 3) bankers who own 1 and 2.
Well, judging from present lack of demand for my sexual services, I don't think I have to worry about being a prostitute. Being a mercenary or prostitute/mercenary-owning banker both sound pretty badass though, sign me up!
Other 'free' services have been doing it for ages, most notably Hulu.com
I know this is the internet we're talking about, but Hulu went live ~1.5 years ago and has only been accessible to the general public for less than a year (March 12, 2008). They haven't been doing anything "for ages".
