I'm tired of doing volunteer work for corporations, personally.

  Don't think of it as volunteer work -- think of it as a non-financial exchange of value. You provide beta testing in exchange for significantly more affordable software and/or earlier access. If you want rock solid reliability, there are companies and operating systems that provide it, with the price tag and turnaround time to match.

    I'm not talking about open source or beta programs. What is VUPEN getting out of giving the fruits of their research to Google for free? They would receive neither more affordable software nor earlier access. The 100% unhackable browser and OS... how much does it cost? I think the turnaround time is going to be infinite. I'm not sure what you're saying. These companies have employees, who have a nice situation with a financial exchange of value. Let them do their own work. If I'm going to do something their employees should be doing, they're free to hire me or pay me as a consultant.
