I am a big fan of Symantec products. I have been using Norton Internet Security ever since I got my first computer. But never actually bought a license for it. Recently I was considering buying one for NIS 2010 (which is an amazing product), to use on my new computer, and mostly out of curiosity, I went searching for it on eBay. To my surprise, I was able to find it for sale on auctions starting at $0,01!! And there are several sellers who offer it for sale, and if you look at the feedback these people received from the others who bought it already, you will see that they have sold VALID licenses! See a screenshot I’ve made below, in case the auction will not be available anymore at the moment you read this post:
...and now I am wondering. A license for NIS 2010 is somewhere around €79,99 on Symantec.com. Why would Symantec agree to provide a valid license on eBay for as little as $10 or even under?
What's the trick? Would I be getting a good deal if I go on and purchase if from eBay? Would Symantec recognize it as a valid license?

Later edit: I won the auction on eBay and I paid for it. Seller sent it to my PayPal email address, and I used it to activate. It worked. I have put the screens with activation and its status in my Norton account here: http://www.criss-ac.net/2009/09/so-it-works-nis-2010-bought-from-ebay.html
32 months ago… at that time, I used to love her. Used to love her silently, never spoke my heart to anyone. At the moment I am writing this, the memories of her are still strong. And I miss…
“I did love you. I loved you almost since the first moment you revealed yourself to me. I loved you more and more as the days were passing, as much as I was realizing how special and different you were.
Loved you because you were representing the future itself, so full of dreams, plans and hopes. I loved you because you were something I thought I could never become, I loved you for your open mind and spirit… for your pure freedom that I do (can’t afford myself) not have.
Because you were doing so well on your own… but not me. I have been always relating to someone, always wanting something which wasn't up to me to get. Too much hand of fortune in my life, until I reached the point of my self-awakening. I almost forgot about my power to build what I want.
I continuously loved you... loved you until I realized I am just... just exactly as you are. Either I am what I used to call "different and special" when it came about you, either you... you lost that thing which made you so special to me, that thing that made me fall for you. We are simply too much alike, I want you... just... just to surprise me. Do not allow me to get to know you... be my friend, but also be a "stranger".

Have thought a lot, during the last 2 months about what I just posted. I just wanted to see how sincerely I allow myself to be with myself, and how hard could it be to deal with my actual feelings. It’s hard, almost a burden, to have the feelings. I am Cris. Sincere as much as I could be.

News, news, news! Iran’s IRGC (Islamic Revolution Guards Corps) hunted down a shinning flying object over the Persian Gulf, and the news is still hot! The unidentified flying object was part of a group, and it was the only one hit after IRGC targeted them. It sank into the waters of the Persian Gulf and at the moment I am writing this post, its remains have not yet been located. Read the whole article here.
If this is your dream job… if you ever consider becoming an attorney, there are couple of things you must read before you become one. Don’t follow their example!
So apparently, these things happened for real in Court. Sad… sad… story below:
ATTORNEY: Your present condition, does it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in which ways does it affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget.
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: Now Doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: …did you actually pass the bar exam?
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20 year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: He's 20, much like your IQ.
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you shitting me? Of course not. [LoL 
]
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time?
WITNESS: Getting laid!
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
WITNESS: By death.
ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
WITNESS: Take a guess.
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male.
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All of them. The alive ones put up too much fight.
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
WITNESS: Oral.
-------------------------------------------
ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM.
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.
-------------------------------------------
And the best for last:
ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
Not that I have something against these people – I just find it funny… ridiculously funny.
Browsing the internet I found these “rules” to help make a household more happy. Don’t know if it will work for most of you, but I am definitely going to give it a try 
So here they are:
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
2. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
3. Sunday sports: it’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
4. Crying is blackmail.
5. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
6. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
7. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do.
8. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
9. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
10. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
11. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask our opinion.
12. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
13. You can either ask us to do something, or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
14. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
15. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
16. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. 
17. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what a mauve is.
18. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
19. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing”, we will act like nothing’s wrong.
20. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
21. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
22. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine… Really.
23. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, football, cars, computer, or… women.
24. You have enough clothes.
25. You have enough shoes.
26. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
27. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight…
28. …but did you know men really don’t mind that? It’s like camping.
29. Pass this to as many men as you can – to give them a laugh.
30. Pass this to as many women as you can – to give them a bigger laugh.
