Thanks, LeN.

iFeast Pet-Feeding & MP3 Docking Station

Finally, A Portable Pet Feeding/Watering System For Your MP3 Player

Let's face it. You and your pet don't share the same "taste" in music. That's why TechnoPetz created iFeast, the portable pet feeding/watering system for your MP3 player. Mealtime will never be the same for your pet with iFeast.

No, the products aren't real. But the empty boxes are. Wrap your otherwise forgettable gift in an Onion gift box, and watch their faces fall when they realize there is no such thing as a pet feeding/docking station for an overly pampered pet—just a crappy bric-a-brac inside you waited until the last moment to buy.

eta: The New Kindle

"Get to the Good Stuff" application skips right to the first mention of the word "heaving"

New feature allows one to make a so-called mix book of favorite chapters for girlfriend

Unlike first version, is not just a hollow box with a clear plastic window that you insert books into

For those with Kindles (specifically, Kindle 2s), here's an article on extras such as covers, lights, and power options.

Okay, I just got the second e-mail from my parents, sent to a very weird contact list, that is clearly pointing me towards some sort of viral thing at depositfiles.com

The thing is, my parents only use Macs, and the address it uses is an older one that is not their default at all anymore. Plus, the link it sends me takes me to "new5.exe" which doesn't sound much like a Mac virus, all things considered.

The address it's using is a Yahoo account, and doesn't appear in their sent messages online. Any idea how this might be happening?

Are you sure your parents sent the message? Someone else may be spoofing their address.

No, it's from them. But it looks like the contact list it's using is their actual Yahoo Mail contact list (a very arbitrary list), so I'm just having them change the password to something more secure.

Gris,

they may want to change their answers to security questions also. That's how Sarah Palin got punk'd.

Le N, I know I've asked you this elsewhere before, but I can't find where--what are you using for journalling on the Mac?

I've got a problem with Java in both Safari and Firefox. I'm on a Macbook Pro with Leopard and I've updated my software, repaired my permissions and restarted, but I cannot use some online games that I used to play all the time.

I get the message that Java is either not installed or not enabled. Neither of which are true. Does anyone have any ideas?

It's not from your parents, Gris. It's from a third party who has both you and your parents email in their address book. Their computer is infected, and it's sending mail out with your parents address to disguise its origin.
