I was checking out E-bays version of Craigslist today and came across this ad which stated:

I am Giving away my PS3

I just don’t use it anymore since I got my Xbox360 and just want to get rid of it. You can pick it up anytime.

You can e-mail me directly.

So being Naive, I emailed right away and got back the following (auto-response) email:

I blogged earlier about the Nyko Perfect shot peripheral for Nintendo Wii. I mentioned how it was the hottest item out and hard to find. Well I just got this e-mail right now from NewEgg.

The Nyko Perfect Shot for the Nintendo Wii is the hottest Wii accessory out. It retails at only $14.99. The problem is, it is sold out everywhere. Well, I just received an alert from Buy.com saying they have it available (whoops spoke too soon) and on sale for 12.99 (plus shipping). The other day I noticed GameStop.com had it in stock (Status is back to backordered today), so I ordered 2! Now I just have to find out which Shooter titles are 2 player. I used Coupon code: SAVER to get free shipping. These babies are going for $25-30 on ebay (if you must have it and dont mind paying extra).

Read IGN’s review here.

Source: WikipediaWired.com put up an article stating Adobe Photoshop Express will now be free. It’s a web-based photo-editing tool, It’s range of functionality is similar to Google’s picasa (which is desktop based). It’s not as robust as the actual photoshop, I think its kind of misleading to even put the photoshop name on this. I’m not saying its not a good product, its just a different product. It looks like it utilizes a mix of Flash (go figure) and AJAX. I wonder if Adobe AIR was used at all to create this.. hmmnn. P.S. I am using Zemanta to do this post!

I can’t wait to try this out, it looks fast too. This will save bloggers alot of time and will make blogging more enjoyable.

So which do you prefer?

P.S. the 9X00 BB series will have a touch screen.

I was getting all of my posts marked as spam by akismet on of my friends wordpress blogs. Then I came across this post.

So I went to http://akismet.com/contact/ and under “I have a support or feature request” I submitted the following email:

The other day I received an email about the upcoming MSA East Zone Conference in Newark, NJ. When I opened the email, I saw this huge Red table, and I was like woah! It had a big warning message on it (see screen below):

Even after marking this email as “Not Spam” this message had not gone away. After clicking around I found a new feature (see below):

There’s an NPR headline saying Microsoft wants to buy out Yahoo! Woah, thats crazy! Does this mean Yahoo will suck as bad as hotmail? And will that crappy NWO ID system MS have be forcefully implemented? Microsoft has always been about software, I wonder if they just want Yahoos search capability and advertising network. Of course this is to counter Google in search and advertising. Whats going to happen to all those little companies Yahoo bought out.

TechCrunch Reports:

Here are some numbers from Hitwise on the combined traffic reach of Yahoo and MSN properties. Together, they have a 15.6 percent market share of Internet traffic in the U.S. , compared to 7.7 percent for Google properties. But Google still has double the market share in search of both Yahoo and Microsoft combined.
