7/31    Hi, I am looking for a monitoring recommendation for use at home
        with my MacMini and as a second monitor for my Airbook. At this
        point I dont want to buy a fancy Apple monitor -- will probably
        wait for then to announce a new one -- but price doesnt really
        matter [office buy], but it doesnt seem like there is any need
        to spend more than $500? Historically I've just gotten a decent

8/25    What's the best way to get a domain name that is about to expire?
        \_ It's called backordering.  It used to be fixed priced but now
           they're trying to auction them.  Still a good deal though.

        Why on earth is this painting worth $28.6M?  The idea was just painting
        a copy of the US flag, and the technique looks high-school quality to
        me.
        \_ It's worth $28M because a lot of people think it is. You may not

3/18    Why is a genuine Mac Book charger $60 when it's only $20 on eBay?
        I failed to see a difference in quality.
        \_ Why does popcorn cost so much at the movies? Why do car values
           halve the minute you take it off the lot? Why do you suddenly
           pay less when you become a senior citizen? There are economic
           reasons for just about every pricing puzzle.

cbs5.com/local/local_story_305004735.htmlPrint clock Nov 1, 2006 1:44 pm US/Pacific Bomb Explodes At eBay PayPal HQ In SJ On Halloween (CBS 5 / BCN / AP) SAN JOSE Authorities scoured a building at eBay's PayPal division Wednesday for clues about a Halloween night explosion that shattered a plate-glass window on the four-story building and forced the evacuation of dozens of employees. Investigators determined the blast was deliberately set and believe an explosive device was placed outside an exit at the building that leads to the company's first floor network operations center. "Whatever caused this (blast) was pretty strong," added Fire Department Capt. There was no immediate word on the contents of the device, but officials told CBS 5 Tuesday night that the debris left behind was not radiological. Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms spokeswoman Nina Delgadillo said no further details about what caused the explosion were available Wednesday. PayPal spokeswoman Amanda Pires said the company had not received any threats but declined to comment further on the investigation of the blast. Business was not disrupted, but the complex at 2211 North 1st St. in San Jose was closed Wednesday and cordoned off by police tape. About 1,900 eBay and PayPal employees who work in buildings on the campus where the explosion occurred were asked to work from home or at another eBay campus in San Jose, Pires said. The blast occurred near an outdoor corridor popular for employee breaks and was not visible from the street. A 6-by-7-foot window was shattered, but there was no other damage. Roughly 26 employees were evacuated following the explosion at 7:30 pm, and members of the bomb squad and a hazardous materials team immediately scoured the area, according to Guerrero. Investigators from the San Jose police and fire departments, the FBI and the ATF remained at the scene on Wednesday continuing to probe the blast. PayPal, which provides a platform for online payments, is a lucrative division of eBay, generating some $350 million in revenue for the online auction company in the latest quarter.
