Gates and his cronies are far from stupid. Their goal is full dominance of the internet. Control searching and you control content. Control content and you control advertising. Control advertising and you control profit.

In this case, the dealer was unloading some display/"last year stuff" and some stuff that people ordered and never picked up post inventory. I got a Clear Alternatives tail light with led panels for the turn signals for $20!!! Plus an Ed Hardy t-shirt for my gf for $8!!!

Yeah, but ebay makes mad profit, and when they say jump, google asks how high. And every single person i know who sells on ebay is pissed off at the way they're taking advantage of their monopoly. M$ is about the only player right now that can take them down, and it really surprises me that they haven't gone for it.
