At last, we’ve finally combined the best of both worlds with the beer-filled USB key. A little investigation reveals that there are three problems with this product. First is that I can’t seem to find where to buy one. second is that it seems that it won’t open to be able to get at the [...]

I can’t help but be impressed that [...]

As this notion ripples through the aftermarket and parking verticals, albeit slowly, everyone just seems to be shrugging their shoulders as [...]

The USB key market is a bloody mess

09.09.08 | Permalink | Comment?

I was poking around some science blogs today and stumbled into this very cool yet pretty disgusting USB drive.
It’s a 1GB USB severed finger. And if that wasn’t enough to satisfy your morbid side, then you’d better pick up the severed wrist or severed foot for your wrist to rest when using your mouse. It’s [...]

NameJet.com secured a healthy sale price for this typo, which ranks pretty well with other noteables I’ve seen reported by DNJournal, such as wwwrealtor.com for $21,361 at SnapNames, wwwfacebook.com for $15,722, also at SnapNames and wwwspyware.com for $9,000 (private sale).

My hopes of a stronger Canadian domain aftermarket have been renewed

08.26.08 | Permalink | Comment?

I sent one last request to customer service this afternoon from my MyID account and finally got a response. Apparently I have not been receiving their email responses from my previous inquiries. A follow up would have been nice, but it is what it is.
