A normal 30GB iPod selling for $1,525? Diamonds not included!

“This iPod is brand new, the box has been opened but the iPod has not been unwrapped from the plastic or turned on, and all accessories are included and unopened. This is a brand new iPod Video 30GB (not refurbished or second) .”

Picking up the story from TechEBlog, I decided to have a look at the Auction Page. The winning bidder is leah0811. This Brit has a good positive feedback score of 92.6%. Nothing out of the oridnary you may say but if you look at the feedback history there is activity till December 2006 with good positive feedback. There is no activity or feedback in the month of Januray 2007 but by Febuary there is a lot of activity and feedback, all of which are negative.

Here are some of the negative feedbacks from the bidder’s page:

“FAKE BIDDER AVOID!!!!”

“Complete bloody scammer. Cocked up my auction by overbibdding. P*ss off.”

“Fraudulant!!! Bidded ridiculous offer and never paid and never heard from them”

This got me thinking, why would someone with a really good feedback score and history go berserk in Feb. with no activity in Jan.? I think this person’s eBay account was hacked and is now being used to place fake bids all over.

Product 7 - A secret Apple Product for $99,999.99?

I came across an item on Amazon. It cost $99,999.99 and weighs 13 pounds. There is no image of this product and they do not have it in stock right now. There is one customer review though. I think it is a hi-spec computer for designers. What do you think? Leave a comment if you know anything about this mysterious ‘Product 7′.

意大利发现“骷髅情侣” 恋人一抱就是五千年
2007-02-08 09:29:03 中国新闻网

意大利考古学家挖出一对人类骨骸，这对男女成相互拥抱的姿态，这一抱就是至少五千年。

意大利考古学家近日挖出一对人类骨骸，这对男女成相互拥抱的姿态，这一抱就是至少五千年，成了永恒的拥抱。

据香港《大公报》报道，这两具骨骸发现的位置位于意大利北部曼图亚(Mantua)工业城瓦达洛的一处新石器时代遗址，两人面对面双手、双腿弯曲交叠拥抱。躺在左边的是男性，背部脊椎部位刺有一根箭，女的则是在头部侧边被射了一箭。

考古学家分析，这两人之所以呈现这种姿势，一个原因是男的被杀，女的跟着殉情，期许来世作伴，如同罗密欧与茱丽叶的故事，只不过结局不同。

挖掘工作负责人之一梅诺蒂说，“我对这项发现感到非常兴奋，我们之前从未发现男女拥抱的人类骨骸，这是独一无二的发现。”

她说，之前挖出很多女性抱小孩的遗骨，但是从来没发现过情侣拥抱的，“我做这行二十五年了，挖过庞贝城，这些有名的地方，但是从来没有这么感动过，因为这是很特别的发现。”

这对千古情人现在被考古学家昵称为“瓦达洛情侣”，梅诺蒂说，“初步检验显示，他们似乎都还年轻，牙齿都还很完整”，但是确实年纪以及存在年代都还需要进一步鉴定。

后来我总算学会了如何去爱
可惜你早已远去消失在人海
后来终于在眼泪中明白
有些人一旦错过就不再

    --后来

"我想可以喝完这杯酒就忘记
"我想可以听完这首歌就忘记
 "我想可以不闭上眼就不想起"

Mobile Spaces all the way..
Sending photos to your space

Several days ago we made uploading photos taken with your camera phone to Spaces more powerful. In the past you could post them only to your blog. Now you can also post photos directly to photo albums. You can do it as long as your phone allows you to send e-mail. There are two ways to set up the feature: from the PC site and from the mobile site.

If you are on the PC just go to your space (make sure that you’re signed in), go to Options, then E-mail publishing, and at the bottom of the page you’ll see a list of e-mail addresses for photo albums in your space. Each email address has the following format:

Member_name.Keyword_of_your_choice.Secret_word@spaces.live.com.

By default the keyword is a GUID, but you can change it to any string that you want. Then just add the email address to your phone’s address book and you can start sending photos to the photo albums in your space.

Another way to enable the feature is from the mobile site. Just go to http://mobile.spaces.live.com in your mobile browser, sign in and go to your space. From there, navigate to the photo album to which you want to post photos and select “E-mail publishing.” You’ll be given an e-mail address for that photo album (once again, you can change the keyword used in the email address to anything that you like).

One more note: if you want to post photos to a completely new album you can do it too. Just go to your space in the mobile browser and select the link to “Add an album”. Then save the email address generated for that photo album to your address book and you're all set.

PS. According to Telephia’s research Windows Live Spaces are #2 in the UK and #3 in the US among the sites receiving mobile-generated content.

我还是喜欢简单一些的
为何不开发CSS？
我喜欢自己弄自己的风格－－

We’ve been spending a lot of time lately working on making your space load faster and adding cool video features; but we know that you all LOVE new themes and customization options.

So we asked a few of the designers from Windows Live to create some new default themes for you all.   AND, if you’re into basketball – there are a bunch of LeBron James themes under the sports category as part of the upcoming LeBron challenge on MSN (more on that coming soon).

Also, don’t forget that if you’re using the “Colors” feature to change the colors in your space (for text, links, backgrounds etc.), that your colors will be applied to the new themes when you browse through them.  To see the themes without your colors, go to Customize > Colors and click the link to “Clear your settings and use the default colors” (if you don’t click Save, you won’t lose your custom colors if you decide you don’t like any of the new themes. Make sure you click Cancel!)
