I came across a most interesting and long (5 page) article under the above title following the publication of this book
http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/ne/p/2005/011005hertzfeld_bookcover.jpg
which I thought might amuse the various MAC users/addicts on this board. You should be able to read it at:- http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-22-5531401.html
Mac co-creator Andy Hertzfeld talks with CNET News.com about the early days, open-source software, the iPod and Steve Jobs' parking habits.
I thought this on page 5 was an interesting take on the current discussions and actions
"For the last 40-some years they've been paying radio stations to broadcast their music for free. It's really hard for me to see the big difference between that and file sharing."
