This Google Android thing is getting ugly, first they said it would have been opensourced, now they are tryin' to lock it down. Are they playing the same Apple game ? and why they do not offer licensing ? is anybody aware of this ?

This article should be down voted. it says that people should take a lot of coffee, it's insane. In their words: "Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities? If it sounds too good to be true, think again. Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better."

Now, consider the risks of taking too much coffee (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine):

Main symptoms of caffeine intoxication. An acute overdose of caffeine, usually in excess of about 300 milligrams, dependent on body weight and level of caffeine tolerance, can result in a state of central nervous system over-stimulation called caffeine intoxication (DSM-IV 305.90), or colloquially the "caffeine jitters". The symptoms of caffeine intoxication are not unlike overdoses of other stimulants. It may include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation.[89] In cases of much larger overdoses, mania, depression, lapses in judgment, disorientation, disinhibition, delusions, hallucinations, and psychosis may occur, and rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue) can be provoked. In cases of extreme overdose, death can result. The median lethal dose (LD50) given orally, is 192 milligrams per kilogram in rats.[2] The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on weight and individual sensitivity and estimated to be about 150 to 200 milligrams per kilogram of body mass, roughly 80 to 100 cups of coffee for an average adult taken within a limited time frame that is dependent on half-life. Though achieving lethal dose with caffeine would be exceptionally difficult with regular coffee, there have been reported deaths from overdosing on caffeine pills, with serious symptoms of overdose requiring hospitalization occurring from as little as 2 grams of caffeine. Death typically occurs due to ventricular fibrillation brought about by effects of caffeine on the cardiovascular system. Treatment of severe caffeine intoxication is generally supportive, providing treatment of the immediate symptoms, but if the patient has very high serum levels of caffeine then peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, or hemofiltration may be required.

It is insane to write and publish articles like that, without warning people about the risks of caffeine general high usage, and overdose.

Sorry i missed one of your points : I do live here in China since years, very near to biggest markets and production centers of most counterfeit items. I have some expertise on this. I can tell an item is not genuine by cross-looking at some details in the pictures, language of the seller, etc..

Well, it is the same story on the ebay forums.. people is asking to other people, mostly watch sellers, they've got some credit because they sell watches so it is obvious they must have some kind of expertise. Why shouldn't this work for a company that focuses on this? being 100% perfect is impossible. Nobody can achieve that. Thanks a lot for your point of view. Let me know what you think. Alberto

Thanks for all the comments, yet. I just want to clarify that i do not want to walk on ebay's feet with this. They would just throw a Cease & Desist if i go ahead by issuing "certifications" for their vendors. I am sure about this. What do you think ?

Hey, thanks a ton for your input. I thought about pay per consumption because it is more suited for the casual ebay user that wants to purchase an item but does not want to pay for a service that will use in a discontinued fashion. What do you think ?

Hey thanks a ton for your opinion. You are definitely right, i will surely go out and try it. I see your point about Luohu market, but still, you just gotta ask and they will bring you an hell of brands, all of them, any kind of goods. And what if you go to Guangzhou, there is like the far-west of faux merchandise.

While registering my domain for Google apps for domains, i noticed that they do not accept business or domains (the domain is a .com registered on godaddy and hosted on rackspace slicehost) from China at the moment. I have got this as an error message "Google Apps does not currently support domains in this country."

misleading title. i have clicked thinking it was referring to a spying activity carried by yahoo in a invisible fashion. Actually it just plain spam.It should be downvoted.

Unless you consider about the fact they've totally ignored the gmail hacking incident and the various espionage activities.

I am located in Shenzhen, Popular Republic of China, I am on a 3G China Mobile connection. This connection does not even let you use a VPN, for getting rid of the censorship. I have noticed though that my adsl works with a VPN in USA, so that way i am able to access blogspot, but still not able to watch youtube or use twitter/facebook.
