#Master the Delicate Art of Social Media Etiquette
| January 13, 2012
1. Have a real picture of yourself as a profile pic. I need to know what you look like. It’s only fair. If your Facebook photo includes a picture of your significant other, I know that you are seriously codependent. If it is a picture of your baby, I know I’ll have very little to say to you at a dinner party. Also, offer me a few options. If all of your pictures are from the same angle, I know that you are ugly and have figured out that one angle that makes you look less ugly.
2. Don’t give me constant updates of where you are eating or shopping. The only person who cares about that is your stalker, and the real joy for him is the hunt.
3. If I send you a text and you don’t respond and then I see you tweet something or post something on Facebook, I know that you are straight up ignoring me. Just remember that everyone on the Internet is taking note of your goings-on and judging you all the time. Isn’t that comforting?
Seller Sues eBay Because Bidders Don’t Always Pay The Maximum
| January 13, 2012
The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Northern California on behalf of an Arizona man, gives the example of someone who is willing to pay up to $100 for an item. But even though eBay’s automated system knows this maximum, it only incrementally increases the buyer’s base bid to the level at which it beats other existing bids. So if, because of this system, the buyer only pays $95 for the item, the plaintiff believes “the seller is shortchanged $5.00 solely as a result of intermeddling by the purportedly neutral auctioneer.”

$1.1 Billion Streets of Monaco Yacht
| January 13, 2012
The Streets of Monaco Yacht isn’t your typical luxury yacht. In fact, it doesn’t even come close. Currently in the design process, this one-of-a-kind yacht is set to become the world’s most expensive at a cost of over $1.1 billion to build.
Yacht Island Design modeled the super ship after a section of Monte Carlo, and it will feature smaller versions of the state’s famous landmarks such as the Hotel de Paris and Monte Carlo Casino and racetrack. Swimming pools, tennis courts, a cinema, and go kart track will also provide an endless amount of entertainment.
Instead of traditional decks, the 510 ft (155 m) yacht will have buildings, and instead of a swimming platform it will have a beach. Guests will also be able to marvel at the waterfalls, swim-in jacuzzi-bar, helicopters and submarines on board.
The one-of-a-kind ship is built to accommodate up to 16 guests and 70 crew with the main apartment spread over three floors and 4,800 sq ft (445 sq m). Linking upper and lower living areas is the Atrium, which features seven guest suites, a bathroom, bedroom, dressing room, reception and balcony.
