Apple using Sony Superdrive? (found using query: dvd corp ms microsoft)

  „When trying to determine the appropriate outcomes for a project, particularly when there is some question of whether the client should learn how to do it themselves or not, try to ask yourself, "Is this something that is realistic to expect any faculty member to be able to do for themselves?" If the answer is yes, we should gear our objectives toward preparing them for obtaining the skills themselves. In that case our project may include some training, job aids (cheat sheets, flash cards, etc.), and possibly a short-project submission to the student TST members to put together the project. In the final case, our role can be to assist in carefully identifying what the final outcome (the project "deliverable") should look like (again, what is "success"?).“

  „Larry Lessig, Thomas Hazlett, Richard Epstein, Edward Welbourne and Frank Walker weigh in on copyright, stimulating and stifling innovation, the increasing costs to innovation brought by extending copyright. Welbourne discusses an interesting idea: the net present value of a copyrighted work at the time of sale to a publisher, verses the value after each 20 year extension, diminishing over time, which eventually is worth less than 1%. He proposes that copyrighted works go into the public domain, as averaged within a specific category, after the value of works diminish to 1%.“
