This news title got me a little curious about the whole topic espoused by this lawsuit: Psystar claims Apple has invalid Mac OS X copyright.

I have no idea whether Psystar is right here or not, nor does that even matter to me. I just realize that if Psystar was to anyhow successfully defend against this lawsuit it would set a rather interesting precedent.

Is a free and open stock market a possibility? I am curious to know what all of you think about a stock market system based on complete openness in terms of financial reporting and the ability of any person to become an investor. All transactions must be open and reported. All gains and losses must be public knowledge. What legal restrictions would stand in the way of a non-profit company created to accomplish this task?

This is something I continue to be genuinely interested in. The credit fiasco that happened in USA and infected the rest of the world, bringing down some of the most powerful and oldest banks in US and some big banks in Europe too, regardless and perhaps even partly because of the just passed bail out in US and other bail outs in Europe, is according to many leading the world towards a global deep recession which some compare even to the Great Depression that started in 1929.

Considering that I am a voluntaryist (or for the newbies to the term; a left libertarian, or anarcho-capitalist) I am by default against any and all legislation. Still it's good to offer arguments behind why is a particular legislation bad and I've found an article which explains why would the net neutrality regulation be bad:
