Mazel Tov, Sir Tim!

Tim Berners-Lee has won the first Millennium Technology prize, backed by the Finnish government.Yay!

"The prize committee underlined the importance of Sir Tim’s decision to never strive to commercialise or patent his contributions to the internet technologies he has developed." Not that there's anything wrong with commercialization...except in this case we wouldn't have the Web.
