Here is one part I thought showed the true arrogence of Hollywood:
Hollywood executives think they are getting the typical technology runaround. "We all know GM has a motor in its files that would get 60 miles a gallon," scoffs one of them. "I'm pretty sure Intel has something in its files that will solve our problems." This talk infuriates Apple's Jobs, who says his industry would also love to get this problem behind it: "To say this intractable technology problem is going to be solved by something in the back pockets of technology companies, and they are not sharing it, is unbelievable. This is an important issue, and it's not going to be solved by threatening rhetoric. It's going to be solved by a computer scientist who has an incredibly original idea. We just don't know who or when."

"We are too lazy or stupid to figure out how to make it work for us so we want the goverment to step in and protect us." This is the kind of mindset that had Isaac Newton jailed for saying "God doesn't make boats float, physics does."
BTW: GM made a car that got close to 60mpg. It was called the GEO and they couldn't give them away. >
