of american gets $2.6m for domain name 2008-04-06 08:22:12 US man gets $2.6m for domain
name: 43-year old American Chris Clark who lives in North Potomac, Maryland, has sold the domain name pizza.com for $2.6m (£1.3m) - after maintaining the site for just $20 a year since 1994. In January, Mr Clark decided to sell it in an online auction after hearing that another domain - Vodka.com - was sold for $3m in 2006.It's crazy, it's just crazy. It will make a significant difference in my life, for sure...If someone's willing to pay that much for Vodka.com, maybe there's more interest in pizza.com.The online auction was launched on 27 March. The first bid was $100, jumping to $2.6m a week later.

of wild grizzly bears caught dancing on tape 2008-04-06 02:15:21 Dancing Bears Filmed in Wild: A group of scientist led by Kate Kendall have filmed grizzly bears rubbing their backs against trees. In the video, the bears looked like they were dancing. [photo link]Grizzly bears are getting their groove on, and new hidden cameras are giving scientists a window into the secret lives of these dancing bears. This is no circus act. Between 2005 and 2007, Kate Kendall of the U.S. Geological Survey and her colleagues took video footage of black and grizzly bears doing what looks like the go-go at their favorite "rub trees." They also got film of bears lumbering beneath stretches of barbed wire used to snag hair samples.Click here to watch the video that was filmed by the scientists.

Last seen, he was in first floor handbags as I sashayed out the door. Bye-bye! Have fun! And he did. He came home on the subway and bus by himself. Was I worried?Would you let your kid do the same in Singapore? I know of someone who let their 8-year old kid take the plane alone because the kid begged them to do so.

of microsoft sends letter to yahoo! board of directors 2008-04-07 08:41:59 Microsoft Sends Letter to Yahoo! Board of Directors: Microsoft Corp. sent the following letter to the Yahoo! Inc. Board of Directors.Dear Members of the Board:It has now been more than two months since we made our proposal to acquire Yahoo! at a 62% premium to its closing price on January 31, 2008, the day prior to our announcement. Our goal in making such a generous offer was to create the basis for a speedy and ultimately friendly transaction. Despite this, the pace of the last two months has been anything but speedy...It is unfortunate that by choosing not to enter into substantive negotiations with us, you have failed to give due consideration to a transaction that has tremendous benefits for Yahoo!’s shareholders and employees. We think it is critically important not to let this win

The scientists who pioneered it have now built a lightning-fast replacement capable of downloading entire feature films within seconds. At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the grid” will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds.David Britton, professor of physics at Glasgow University and a leading figure in the grid project, believes grid technologies could “revolutionise” society. “With this kind of computing power, future generations will have the ability to collaborate and communicate in ways older people like me cannot even imagine,” he said.

of first lungless frog discovered by lead nus scientist 2008-04-09 11:13:34 Science Daily has reported that Dr David Bickford, the lead scientist
at the Department of Biological Sciences, NUS, has discovered the world's first lungless frog in Borneo."We knew that we would have to be very lucky just to find the frog," said David Bickford of the National University of Singapore. "People have been trying for 30 years. But when we did and I was doing the initial dissections -- right there in the field -- I have to say that I was very skeptical at first [that they would in fact lack lungs]. It just did not seem possible. We were all shocked when it turned out to be true for all the specimens we had from Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Sadly, it seems that most journalists would rather entertain their readers than focus on writing factually accurate articles; it’s not entirely their fault, though, as Farooq often talked nonsense to journalists and sometimes seemed to be actively trying to cultivate the appearance of eccentricity.
