The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld)
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."

Nothing nefarious, just silly...
relax, react less, go play outside... all that time sitting in front of the computer is bad for you ;-)
For much of the English speaking world the word 'pocket' in connection The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld)
with 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.
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)
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)

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...The Linux pod people pocket $1500 (PCWorld)
