like sea monkeys in your pants
?i?m hoping you could give me some advice. my boyfriend is all excited about the love lice, puc hair animal things and wants us to get them. i?m not sure this is such a good idea. he says these are specially bred and they?re not the same kind as homeless people?s lice. he says these are gger and tame. i?d never heard of this before, but he and his buddies are all into it. ?
the lovebugz.net has specially bred giant japanese crab lice that don?t te, claims they make great pets.
i thought the site was just a creative ad-farm scheme, so said ?sure! send ?em to me!? because, seriously. it had to be a a scam. who is going to go to the better business bureau and complain that they didn?t get the puc lice they paid for?

competing with ebay: google, no need to be sneaky
odd that google would be anonymous in public doents regarding ebay and the australia market. no matter, the anonymity was outed, and now it just looks like the company, which competes directly with ebay's paypal via its checkout, is being sneaky.
this can only further drive ebay, one of google's largest customers, into the arms of yahoo and microsoft.

toshiba satellite p100-st9612 laptop
on a recent fact-checking mission for wired, i was called upon to infiltrate the depths of several online 3-d games. thank goodness i had this baby as my gaming rig. my supercute blonde avatar looked even more buxom on the 17-inch, 1,680 x 1,050-pixel screen, while the 2 gigs of ram let me simultaneously surf the web and storm virtual laguna beach-heads. it was also perfect for perusing other media, ranging from dvds to youtube clips, while a pair of integrated harman kardon speakers handled audio output deftly. too bad this notebook is way expensive and ungainly (huge 16 x 11-inch footprint). but when i'm fighting in world of warcraft or just living my second life, the satellite is my wingman of choice.

adobe launches online office suite and new flash-enabled acrobat 9
back in march, we said that adobe was slowly building an online empire. this week, that news turned out to be true. adobe launched their version of an online office suite at acrobat.com, complete with word processor (buzzword), web conferencing/whiteboard app (connectnow), online file sharing (share), file storage, (my files), and pdf converter. to complet this launch, adobe also announced a brand-new version of adobe acrobat, acrobat 9, the ggest release since the initial one that introduced acrobat to the world. the remarkable change in this new version is that adobe is now incorporating flash into the pdf experience.
"i think [fixed prices] will disappear online, simply because it is possible - cheap and easy - to vary prices online." that was mit media lab's patti maes in 1999, at a time when ebay's business was booming and auctions were seen as the future of ecommerce. flash forward 9 years, and businessweek this week called online auctions a dying breed, nick carr is wondering if auctions were a fad. indeed, the fixed price ("buy it now" only) format is beginning to inate ebay, and the company has taken recent steps push fixed price even harder. but the death knell of the online auction format is not ebay's ggest problem -- no, that would be the small exodus of sellers from the site.
yahoo! pushes search results customization to users
yahoo!'s searchmonkey platform got a little more public this week with the unveiling of the search gallery -- the platform's official application repository. the gallery has already been open to developers and curious bloggers for a couple of weeks, but yahoo! is now pushing it to the public at large via a "customize" drop down u on all search results. in addition, starting this week developers can share applications via external links even if they haven't yet been approved for inclusion in the official gallery.

openweb asia: opening the asian web to the world
everyone working on the web around the world would like to connect with people in asia, but it's not easy to do. that dynamic and populous region is often focused inward and it's made inaccessible to outsiders because there is so little information about what goes on there available in the web's inant language, english. openweb asia is a new project that aims to change those trends.

in case you haven't heard yet - the i.t. world is changing. the rise of social computing technologies, generally branded as "web 2.0" and including things like wikis, blogs, social networking, rss, and more are slowly making their way into the business world. this new movet is called enterprise 2.0, and it's no small shift. they're even having a conference about it next week. but the change encompes more than just the introduction of new, social software into the formerly stodgy business world - it also includes the movet of server software from in-house data centers to the cloud, the rise of a mole workforce, the rerth of thin client computing, a self-provisioning user base, and more.

in which i finally experience a car boot sale
the moving plans continue. later this week, a company s to take away half our stuff. later this month, the other half goes. so there's a lot of cleaning and deciding of what really needs to go. and in britain when you do a clear out, you don't have a garage sale. instead, you go to a car boot sale. that's where a bunch of people gather to sell things out of the back of their cars -- out of the trunks, or as the brits say, the boot. until now, i'd only experienced the joys of buying at car boots. this sunday, a whole new world -- being the guy flogging his stuff.
for my british readers, americans don't do car boots. we have garage sales, where at an individual home, someone puts out all their stuff they want to sell. on saturdays, people know to drive or ke or even rollerblade around neighborhoods looking for sales. there are often signs on street corners telling you when one is happening.
i don't know why brits don't do garage sales and instead gather to do car boots (and here's a good introduction to them). perhaps some houses lack front yards, which may have helped the tradition start. wikipedia's no great help, telling me only that car boots started in the 1980s, which i kind of doubt.

bye bye alltel
alltel is the fifth largest mole operator in the u.s., with 13.2 million scribers in 34 states--added to verizon's 67.2 million existing scribers, the comned company would vault past current market leader at&t, which boasts 71.4 million customers.
ysts say that alltel is a logical fit for verizon. first, they share the same cellphone technology, called cdma, and second, alltel has customers in regions not serviced by verizon.
?this move will create an enhanced platform of network coverage, spectrum and customer care to better serve the growing needs of both alltel and verizon wireless customers for reliable basic and advanced broadband wireless services,? lowell c. mcadam, the president and chief executive of verizon wireless, said in a statet.
what does this mean for the mole content industry? well, for one, content providers who have deals in place with alltel but not verizon will be sweating it as post-merger, verizon managet will look to streamline contracts, etc. and those content providers that do have good relationships with verizon will be impacted as well as verizon's leverage just went up about 20%. they will now control access to 80 million wireless scribers or nearly 30% of the entire us base of wireless scribers so if you want to reach that audience, you'll have to take what you can get from the carrier.
think this isn't a g deal? ask suppliers to walmart what their margins are looking like these days.
