This is a documentary film which was made in the year 2001 - "Revolution OS" - in which all the great minds behind Linux are interviewed. Linux is going to be a very important replacement for Apple's OSX and Microsoft Windows at some future point in time. All the technicians are gravitating towards it, and so they are going to create a lot of cool stuff which will make it more desirable for people to use, then the auspices sold by Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. This may be a hard video for some folks to watch, because to understand it fully, you need quite a decent vocabulary of computer technical language. But anybody might like watching it, just to absorb the framework of ideas.

Bhutan is a country just east of Nepal. They have a central ethic that instead of measuring "gross domestic product" - they measure "gross domestic happiness." The king has given the green light for a democracy to be born... but most people are hesitant about the whole matter. One of the reasons given, is that political parties will create divisions among them.
