Kobe Bryant Can Fly!

I have stumbled upon this funny YouTube video of Kobe Bryant and his Superman dunk over a pool of snakes wearing the newest shoes from Nike, the Hyperdunk shoes.

Could it be the shoes or just pure talent?

Microsoft Vista for $1,632 Only

consumerist.com writes about a customer who got charged for his Windows Vista Upgrade for $1,632!

Apparently, Bill, an IT Manager, used the Windows Live Marketplace to purchase the Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade worth $233.15. But each time he tried to enter his payment information, he got the error “please try again” later. And so he did. Unluckily, Bill got charged each time he tried to enter the payment details, which he did 7 times!

Again, that is $233.15 * 7 = $1,632.05. Totally a rip-off!

Bill tried to contact Microsoft support again and again and again to get his money back but only four of the transactions were returned. The remaining three transactions are yet to be refunded.
