a third of its income from fixed price sales and businesses that once
thrived on the high street - or more likely a back street - now

AOL and Yahoo are starting to use a system that will give preferential treatment to emails from companies that pay from 1/4 to a penny per email to guarantee delivery.

Playstation 3s Available on eBay?
Kotaku reports that nearly 40,000 Xbox 360s were sold on eBay - that’s nearly 10% of all the Xbox 360s that were produced.

Ditched Vonage
I've been doing a review of my finances over the last month or so. No item has been spared, no matter how small, and I noticed that I was hardly making any calls with my Vonage home phone.

Del.icio.us Deal For Yahoo!
Yahoo! yesterday acquired Del.icio.us, continuing its acquisition spree in the Web 2.0 business, which included the acquisition of Flickr.
