Don’t you know what a swipe auctions scam is? You’ll find out more if you click on my previous link and read the article. Briefly, the scam goes on like this: there’s an auctions website where you can find all sort of items as cheap as 100 times less their real value. However, there’s a catch: you have to bid on them, the sum going up 1c with each new bid. Then, one person wins the bid, but all others have been ripped off their money because they are not going to see anything back. I even suspect there are websites which don’t actually give the winning bid to a real person, but they assign it to a fake user inside their system, so they can sell the same item multiple times,

Did you know about this type of scam? Have you been a victim of such websites? Please let us know so we can all learn and stay away from them.

almost all you would look for to get a good used car. Very helpful information. If you have not got time or energy to go through all these tips then I recommend having a look at EasyDriver, they have a great range of used cars, and are based in Auckland, NZ.

The new iPhone 4 is a bit more than one month old now and there are many people who got theirs and even got enough time to get annoyed with the antenna issue, which you probably know about already. This can be easily fixed by getting one of these iPhone 4 cases, which will act as a barrier between your hand and the antenna.

Here’s an iPhone case which I like:

Well, if you own an iPhone 4, maybe you need to know that Apple will send you a free case to fix the signal issue. That’s nice of them. Even better, if you have already bought a Bumper case from Apple, you are going to get your money back. However, if you want a case from a third party manufacturer you’ll have to pay for it. Are you going to ask for your free Apple case or not? I’m just curious.

I like my iPod Nano very much. I think it has an awesome design. However, as I keep it in my pocket together with lots of other stuff, I need to hide it behind a protective case. Looking at several iPod nano cases, I decided I like most the Switcheasy CapsuleThins cases which you can see in the video below:

If you watched the video, you’ve seen that there are nine colors available. I really have a hard time in making up my mind for which one to go. I love at least two of them: the violet one is the best, closely followed by the silver one. Maybe I should buy both cases, what do you think? What would you buy for your iPod?

I’ve got a friend who runs an iPad accessories website, who sent me this crazy video I’m going to share with you here:

I find it funny that there are so many people who spend a fortune on accessories, when they could simply use Velcro to solve a lot of issues.

Simple ideas are often the best, aren’t they? However, I think those Velcro strips would leave some sticky trails when removed, so I’m not sure I’d use them so much. If I used them, I’d first buy the best iPad screen protector to keep my device safe no matter what. “Screen protector” is just a generic term, but in fact I’d buy full body protection for my iPad. Would you buy that too?

Have you ever watched teenagers in their social relationships? It’s very interesting, the most popular guys and girls usually have a skill, a talent that makes them special. Most of the times, playing an instrument can secure them a high place in the heart of their less skilled colleagues. This is why I have a piece of advice for all of you who have kids: if your kid comes home one day and tells you he wants to learn guitar, don’t ignore that wish. Do some research and find a good guitar teacher for the kid, pay him some lessons, at least until he goes beyond the beginner stage. After that, he’ll be able to go on on his own, by home study, so you’ll only have to buy him books and DVDs. Here’s a video review of a course called Learn and Master Guitar, which is a very detailed home instruction guitar course that can be good especially in case your kid doesn’t feel like spending time with a real teacher, but rather study when he’s in the mood.

Do you know any other guitar courses that are suitable for kids as well as for adults?
