Always fun to read in TechCrunch about a company doing an idea you had 5 years ago. If you believe in the idea, stop at nothing to do it.

For my web farm I’m using Squid as my load balancing / caching solution. Is there any good reason to switch to a Varnish / Nginx combo?

I see that eBay bought out Magento. Can we trust eBay to keep it fully open and not force the use of other eBay properties like Paypal?

Teenager sells kidney for iPad2

Fri, 03 Jun 2011 08:10:46 -0400

A teenager in Huaishan, Anhui Province has sold one of his kidneys to buy an iPad2 tablet computer, as reported by SZTV on June 1.

The 17-year-old man surnamed Zheng, a freshman in high school, got connected with a kidney-selling agent through the internet, who pledged to pay him 20,000 yuan ($3,084.45 ) for one of his kidneys.

On April 28 of this year, Zheng went to Chenzhou, Hunan Province to have his kidney removed under the supervision of three so-called middlemen, and received 22,000 yuan ($3,392.97). Then he returned home with a laptop and an iPhone.

Zheng’s mother discovered her son’s new electronic products and forced him to reveal how he came to afford them. Then she took Zheng to Chenzhou and reported the matter to local police. The three agents’ telephones have not been answered since that time.

Chenzhou 198 Hospital, where Zheng had his surgery, has no qualifications for kidney transplantation, according to SZTV reporters.

The hospital has denied any connection with the kidney removal operation, and has said that its urology department is contracted to a businessman in Fujian.
