Wacky Warning Labels Life

Taken from the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch annual Wacky Warning Label contest:

A flushable toilet brush that warns users, “Do not use for personal hygiene” has been identified as the nation’s wackiest warning label in an annual contest sponsored by a consumer watchdog group.

If you don't like frivolous lawsuit, then this site is for you. Read on for the other "winners."

eBay's new computer recycling program Computers

eBay has announced its new Rethink Recycling Program. Their intent is to reduce the huge amount of waste created from computer components getting dumped into landfills. I know first hand that it's getting harder and harder to get rid of old computer junk these days. I can't even donate it anymore! While I am fortunate to live very close to Apple Computer's recycling program, not many people are so lucky. eBay's program look good so far. It's collecting links for local recycling and has the "last resort" option of letting eBay sell it for you. Sounds like a good win-win solution as people are just going to dump their crap everywhere if it's too hard, time consuming or expensive to properly dispose of their electronics.

Gmail accounts Computers

I have 10 gmail accounts to hand out. Post a comment if you want one. The new Roller 1.0 system should obfuscate email addresses to help prevent getting spam, but only if you put it in the MAIN TEXT area. If you put it in the "Email" text field, nothing special happens (so don't do that). I'll post a test comment just to make sure.
