Come on! Amazon.com

$10.00 for 2 pages of HTML?

I was ordering some books on Amazon.com when I happened upon the following item:

I know Amazon.com is big and has a lot of leverage and all and they can sell anything they want at any price they want. But selling a two-and-a-half-year old news story at $10.00? It's not even PDF! It's 2 (count them, 2) pages of HTML.

Want to buy a copy of one of my old blog entries for $10.00?

Slashdotcn.org

I learned it from my referer log.

I've been going over my referer log a few days ago and saw an entry http://slashdotcn.org. For a moment I thought I was slashdotted. But then I noticed the http://slashdotcn.org part.

This is a Chinese technology weblog site that looks very similar to Slashdot. It seems to cover roughly the same areas as the English Slashdot, but with a Chinese spin. If you read Chinese, and I know several of my readers do, slashdotcn.org should be an interesting read.

Here's some of the stories that I enjoyed:

I don't know who are behind the website, but they seem to be doing a good job producing new stories. It feels like the original Slashdot in their early days.
