TechRestore offers PB LCD replacements
TechRestore today began offering overnight flat-rate LCD screen replacement service for Apple's high-resolution PowerBooks. PowerBook owners who experience screen failure due to mechanical issues or accidental damage can use the service to receive a 24-hour turnaround time that includes overnight pickup on location, installation of a new replacement LCD screen, and return overnight shipping. Once a repair is scheduled, a "RestoreBox" is sent via an overnight courier to the customers home, office or school where the system is picked up and brought back overnight to TechRestore. Within 24-hours of receipt, the Hi-Res LCD screen replacement is completed and the PowerBook is sent back to the customer's location via overnight courier. The flat-rate High Resolution LCD replacement service is $650 for 15-inch PowerBooks and $800 for 17-inch models. Repairs are performed in an anti-static and dust-free environment by a TechRestore Certified Technician, and PowerBook repairs come with a one-year warranty.

Even if the prize money goes up to the same level, i.e., 14,000 bucks or so, it would still seem pretty cheap compared to what the developer probably could make if s/he *sold* the dang VMWare for OSX as shareware. 5,000 copies at $20 (which I'd happily pay for something like this, but is much less than what some people are putting up for donation) would give the developer $100,000.
He should let the developer receive the prize and still retain the right to sell it as a shareware, or else, I don't think there would be many people out there who'd want to do this. This is definitely not the same thing as adding/changing several lines in a bootloader file so that a WinXP CD would boot on an Inte/Mac.
