The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld)
PCWorld has this
report about an Australian couple who create podcasts. "Not
often thought of as radio stars, Linux developers are now able to steal the
limelight thanks to Dapto couple James and Karin Purser who produce the
Linux Australia Update and the LUG Roundup podcasts from their lounge room.
Linux Australia has this week donated $1500 to the Purser's to help them
upgrade their equipment."

The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld) Posted Jan 21, 2006 9:14 UTC (Sat) by csawtell (subscriber, #986) [Link] For much of the English speaking world the word 'pocket' in connectionwith money is synonymous with theft, or at least nefarious dealings. In this case the reverse is clearly the case. I'd like to suggest that you change the word 'pocket' to 'granted' in the headline, so as to avoid a totally unjustified slur on the characters of James and Karin Purser, who would appear to be paragons of virtue.
The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld) Posted Jan 23, 2006 4:08 UTC (Mon) by linux_au (guest, #35376) [Link] generally in Australia, the use of the word 'pocket' in relation to money is a good thing. Unless of course, you're 'Out of pocket' :-)
The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld) Posted Jan 21, 2006 11:59 UTC (Sat) by shapr (subscriber, #9077) [Link] I agree, after too many years of reading headlines from The Register, I immediately thought theft was the subject.

The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld) Posted Jan 21, 2006 19:46 UTC (Sat) by mikec (guest, #30884) [Link] As a an American (which in many circles excludes me from the "English speaking world" by association) who reads and listens to lots of BBC and the like from around the world, I just read that as the usual attempt to write a quippy alliterated title...
Nothing nefarious, just silly...
relax, react less, go play outside... all that time sitting in front of the computer is bad for you ;-)
