We all knew the memo would come.
It’s the last day of November, and Google’s decided it fitting to top its monthly quota of announcements off with an official notice of intent to “apply to bid for wireless spectrum” in the new year.
The collective reaction from the public? Finally.
Yes, the message has been delivered not a moment too soon. And, looking at the FCC’s auction rules, just shy of the deadline. The commission has declared December 3rd, 2007 the cutoff [...]

If you’ve been following our coverage of developments surrounding the 700MHz auction to take place in January 2008, you’ll know that Google has made its interests in keeping a sizable portion of the wireless spectrum open very well known. (Open in the sense that essential freedoms for both the owner(s) and users (either in the corporate or consumer spaces) to competitively develop both localized and Web-based software solutions will be guaranteed. No strings attached. Entirely open.)

Shopping or searching for items on eBay nowadays can be a hassle. For one reason or another, searching for a single product can turn up all sorts of unrelated results.

More often, though, you come across businesses which look to build themselves up enough to look attractive to bigger fish.

The auction giant eBay has come a long way from its fledging days as a trading space for the most sentimental and unique of trinkets. More than a decade after its less-than-global premiere, the company now spans across international waters and is open to auctions and buy-to-own-now listings for the small and sentimental to the old and highly valued to the very big – cars, boats, and estates.

Are you always on the look-out for real-deals on auction sites such as eBay?
Then you will like *Jellyfish* very much. Jellyfish is a shopping search engine that searches for products across more than one thousand stores that provide Cost-Per-Action compensation to Jellyfish for each purchase.
What’s interesting about this auction site is, they are applying the reverse auction concept for their “Smack Shopping! Deal of the Day”. It means that their price will drop every single second.
