Just yesterday I had written an article on ThePirateBay.org selling themselves on eBay for a fundraiser technique to pay for their new $12,000+ server. The auction didn't last long because eBay was quick to pull it. The reason why we think it was pulled was because in the listing they said "we've decided to go prostitutes on you and sell ourselves for money".
The current host of the Windows Vista 5270 Torrent, ThePirateBay.org, will be upgrading its servers in order to meet the increasing demand for torrent files. How are they going to afford to do this $12,000 upgrade? They are selling themselves, actually renting themselves out for a night, on eBay.
The AskMeNow service that has been released could be a good alternative to using 411. I know on my cell phone using 411 costs $1.25, and with Google Mobile I haven't had to use 411.

The creator of the Million Dollar Homepage has sold all but 1,000 pixels and has put them on eBay to go to the highest bidder. The pixels for sale are circled in red on the above picture (which is almost the dead center of the page!).
That's right, after a short matter of time, it has been discovered how you can join the Windows Live Mail Beta program without needing any invites! I just did it a few minutes ago following these simple steps: Open up Internet Explorer. MSN likes Internet Explorer, and hates Firefox. (Damn Microsoft!) For this to work, you must be signed out of MSN.
If you aren't going to be able to be by a television to watch the ball drop into the New Year, then hopefully you will be somewhere with an Internet connection. MSN has decided to provide a live feed from Times Square in New York starting at 7:00 PM Eastern time.
