A capitalist fan of commie software
,----[ Quote ]
| It's a good question, I suppose. A tree-
| hugging leftwinger from a proud union
| family with an inexplicable taste for
| expensive Scotch single malts asked to
| know why, if I'm such a capitalist, I am
| so vocal about liking free and open source
| software.
|
| My desktop operating system has been Linux
| ever since 2003, when I formatted my
| Windows box in a fit of pique that had
| been brewing since sometime before Windows
| 3.1 was released. I tried a few variants,
| but quickly settled on the local
| distribution, Ubuntu, masterfully named
| and competently compiled by a famous rich
| kid from Durbanville in the Western Cape.

Mariah Carey Showing How The New Music Business Model Works For Megastars
,----[ Quote ]
| She's working closely with various brands
| to help fund the business model. She's
| selling other product lines such as makeup.
| But, she's also come up with some unique
| "reasons to buy." For example, she got the
| magazine Elle to produce an entire issue
| dedicated to her -- but the only way to get
| it is to buy her new CD. In other words,
| she's giving people a reason to buy the CD.
| And... even better, she (or, her people)
| sold the ads that are in the magazine and
| gets to keep all of that money. It's the
| superstar blend of recognizing that content
| and advertising have really become the same
| thing.
