3) The Lighter Side: Decoding Online Auction Listings
By Ina Steiner
Last issue, Michael Banks took a humorous look at eBay listings containing double meanings http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abu/y202/m12/abu0084/s06. AuctionByters had some suggestions of their own.
Some examples:
"As Is" means "Don't come crying to me if it doesn't work."
"L@@K" means "You are purchasing this item from a minor."

4) New Database of Domain Names May Help Law Enforcement
By Ina Steiner
Dialog, a fee-based research service, has launched a searchable database of more than 65 million current and historic Internet domain name records. Most contain detailed "Whois" information.
eContent Magazine said the database can be used by law enforcement officials in criminal investigations, including Cyber crime. "Unique to the new Dialog database is historic information that allows users to follow trails of domain registration transfers and changes."
