		<description><![CDATA[It seems like only yesterday we were reporting that, due to California's legislature (among others) being poised to pass a tax on affiliate programs (which some were also calling an "advertising tax") such as those run by Amazon and Overstock, these and other companies were resorting to dumping the affiliates in those states and that, in fact, Overstock had just dumped all of their California affiliates for that very reason.  In fact, it <i>was</i> yesterday.  And in response, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the tax increase which the California legislators had passed, including the problematic affiliate tax provision.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, look what the spam cat just dragged in - address book importing spam from Bebo.com.  Why is it that these various social networking and other sites seem to simply consider the incidental spam attendant to address book importing (if they think about it at all) to be the cost of doing business - and, mind you, a cost <b>sent COD to the people receiving the spam</b> - when in fact it's really an occupational hazard?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news of Michael Jackson's cardiac arrest, and subsequent death, caused such a tsunami of searches on Google that the search giant's system believed that it was under attack, and triggered Google's attack defense mode, including requiring searchers to solve a CAPTCHA.  Searchers searching for information on Michael Jackson were met with an intermediate page which said "Your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application," and apologetically asks them to solve the CAPTCHA.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are used to getting payments sent to your Paypal account, you may have noticed in the past couple of weeks that you are suddenly being charged a fee <i>even for Paypal to Paypal payments</i>!  In other words, where it used to be free to send and receive payments between Paypal accounts, suddenly (and seemingly without warning), Paypal users are getting hit with fees for inter-Paypal transfers!  It has to do with their new, amended Paypal terms of service, which we include below. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an interesting move that may or may not be tied to the economic times, Paypal has introduced a new service in which it exhorts you to proposition people and offer to pay them to do stuff.  Or, as they say in one of their online ads, "Get stuff done for money".    "<b>Get stuff done for money</b>," says the ad.  "Use PayPal's "Do Stuff for Money" to get your friends to do stuff for money.  Because sometimes just asking isn't enough."]]></description>
