Here are some examples of URLs that eBay controls as a result of owning "ebay.com":

• https://ebay.com
• https://www.ebay.com
• https://signin.ebay.com

eBay Inc. does not control any of the following as a result of owning "ebay.com". If you find yourself at a similar URL, it is probably a scam (phishing) site set up by someone who wants to steal your eBay account, money, or auction goods.

• https://ebay.signin.com
• https://www.ebay.com.signin.com
• https://ebay-signin.com/ (parts of a hostname are separated by dots, and can contain dashes)
• https://signin-ebay.com

All it needs is a little Spark !

All it needs is a little Spark !

"The zippy power delivery, the smooth gearshifts, the spot-on gear ratios and the narrow dimensions of the car means that it makes short work of your daily commute in thick traffic. So is it a good tool for city driving? You bet, and that's not all. The Spark surprised me with something else too."

"There are not many small cars sold in India that you feel confident in while doing over 160 kph. Here I was pushing a
Chevy Spark wearing a gorgeous shade of red on the highway, and for a car that has a similar footprint as the tinny Maruti Suzuki Estilo, was remarkably composed. Never once did it feel out of depth and it remained planted as if this is something absolutely naturally expected from a car like it. Not just that. Even at 160 kph, the engine doesn't seem stressed too much and has more juice to offer."

Web Versioning

Web Versioning

Sofar buzz was about web 2.0. Lucky that I am part of netizen gallery witnessing changes & web evolution taking place right in front of my eyes. When I embarked web work with basics of internet & intranet based design guidelines way back in '99, least I knew that unlike design softwares web will be versioned & renamed in the coming times, though change is the only constant word in world wide web. But reality bug bit the web over the recent past. In the name of merging desktops to net & user contributed content aggregation, it's altogether a different ball game bisecting net into versions !

web 1.0 was like a came & gone kid. Nobody knows when it arrived & left. What made big news was web 2.0. Technologies & techniques re-aligned to talk in terms of web 2.0. Platforms, architectures, compliance standards were refined & redefined.

Oops ! people on the other side of the table who just plays with statistics & numbers got a good weapon to talk about for hours. 'Dude do you know web 2.o, Have you worked on web 2.o tech, how's delicious, is tagging is real taxonomy ?' Not surprising though, with pure techfobia chat-masters offline is buzzing like never before ;)

As I said, change is the only happening phenomenon on web. Now the fad is about web 3.0 :) Yeah, seriously !

• The world of Web 3.0 is the world of semantics, where every piece of information has a standard meaning that can be understood not just by people but by programs designed to do mundane tasks for us.
