Evening Reading

Got myself a splitting headache for most of the day today, and it felt like the guys doing the lawn in my apt complex decided to let the mower sit right outside my window idling for like 30 minutes. Oh that new Spyhunter trailer looks pretty cool. I always sucked at that game but spent so many quarters on it... usually while waiting on a spot on the Gauntlet machine. :) Oh check these out:

- Google not to IPO, they are too lazy!
- eBay scammers anyone?
- Keyboard cooties!
- Dog translator on the way
- Another enhanced dialup idea
- Domain trixters going to prison
- A big stellar eruption

Lastly, because its cool to jinx stuff, we'll be launching the FileShack referral system tomorrow afternoon/evening assuming everything goes as planned. Obviously by me posting this it wont! Here is how it will work:

Refer 1 friend = 1 month free service
Refer 4 friends = 6 months free service
Refer 6 friends = 1 year free service
Top referrer of the month = $50 EB gift certificate
Top referrer of the year = TBA

The counts will reset each calendar month, and to be clear if you refer 4 people you'll get 6 months of free service total. I'm still doing some pondering and shuffling over the top referrer of the year, I'm hoping for something pretty good. :)
