The major part of the value comes from books, not music/movies, so the MPAA/RIAA has little to worry about.... As for the editors/etc, I guess I can borrow a book from a friend os just get it on the public/school library...

Submission + - The lunacy of Steve Jobs' reality distortion field (edibleapple.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Naysayers often scoff at the amount of attention devoted to Apple products, claiming that Apple fanboys are merely victims of the RDF, and therefore unable to think rationally. Steve Jobs is a cult leader, they say, and the Mac masses follow him blindly and willingly.
But here’s the thing, the reality distortion field doesn’t exist. Sure, Steve Jobs can pitch a product like no other, but his presentation skills have nothing to do with the millions upon millions of Apple products that are happily purchased by consumers every year.

Submission + - Original Doom Ported To A Calculator (omnimaga.org)
Anonymous Coward writes: "For years, students could spend their math classes playing various stripped-down clones of Doom and on their graphing calculator, but thanks to MRaklopaz, now they can even play the real game from ID software on the TI-Nspire. A video of the game in action is available there. It seems that Doom is on anything with a screen, these days."

The real story is that over 50% of the users get less than 50% of the average bandwidth.
And 50% of the users like their ISPs 50% more than they deserve... Altho my ISP allocates 12797Kbps downstream for a 10Mbit plan. "Viva GVT"
