Not all of 'us' feel as you do. Most of 'us' do it purely out of curiosity, not because we want to impress some stranger on a forum somewhere.

I think the Raspberry Pi's are targeted for Schools and Developing Countries, I do not think they are available to the public, least at this time. PogoPlugs have been around a bit and seem to run twice as much as the suggested on the Raspberry Pi's.

Submission + - Megaupload Shut Down by US Federal Prosecutors

Is Dropbox next? Youtube? What about the DMCA's safe harbor provisions?

Another Yawn is the whole 'Thats what you get for using IE'.
The article states the problem lies within Unpatched Versions, not the application itself. Not that I am trying to defend it, just trying to keep the story straight as well.
So, Yawn.
Keep current on your patches.
