Here is a story about a web site sale that went terribly wrong. About two months ago I purchased a website where users play free games online for about $3,000 . I held onto the site until one day I was contacted by someone who had tried to buy the site at the same time I did but missed the opportunity. After a few email exchanges I agreed to sell him the site for $3,600. He asks for my phone number and I give it to him so that we can talk about the transaction. I end up on the phone with this guy for like 3 hours, he just won’t stop talking. The next morning my phone rings at 7:30 A.M. (He lives on the east coast so there is a time difference) wanting to talk to me about the site. At this point I have already transfered the domain name to him and all the cpanel usernames and passwords. The next morning he calls me 10 more times, when I finally wake up and answer he basically spends 20 minutes telling me how the site is going. He then tells me that my Google ads are on his page and I need to get them off immediately. (and that Google is going to penalize me for having my ads on his page) I tell him that I transfered everything over to him and have no access to the site anymore. He did not seem to understand and continued to tell me that Google was going to suspend my account if I did not get my ads off of his site. Once this issue was resolved he continued to call me everyday. According to my phone log (which does not even go back to when he first started calling me) I have 43 calls from him. At this point this guy was not only calling me ask about the site but just to ask me about my business (which he would then turn into a 30 minute conversation). Continue reading »

Ever wanted a suit of armor like Iron Man? Well, now you can! OK, but to be honest this is much more likely to have amazing medical (or military) applications than recreational ones. Berkeley Bionics has developed a suit that will allow users to carry up to 200 pounds with very little effort.

Perhaps the most disappointing thing is that, from a design standpoint, the suit looks quite cumbersome and is likely awkward to wear as well. Still, think of this as a prototype: if they were to go toward mass-production they would surely try and make the design more inspiring for potential purchasers. Either way would you really pass this up if you had the opportunity to own one?
