Amazon Gold Box 5% Off Trick: Apple Macbook Pro for $1452, Macbook Air for $1654
Apple released new generation of MacBook a couple days ago. Amazon has slashed its price on "previous" generation of MacBook and offers rebates as well.
Here's a trick outlined by rabidrobin at SlickDeals
- Create a new account
- Go to the product page for an applecare for macbook pro
- scroll down until you find the "I Own it" checkbox, and check it
- At the top of the screen, click on Recommendations
- Go through the list of 20-30 or so recommended items and click "Not Interested" for the ones that aren't macbook pros
- Look in your goldbox, I was able to buy the mac pro 2.2 ghz today but sometimes it may take overnight

MySql Storage Engine for Amazon S3
Amzon S3 & Other Storage as A Service Providers
Amazon S3 has been out for a while. And the competition is heating up in the storage as a service market.
S3 in general:
- 99.9% service level guarrantee (only have had SLA recently since Oct. 8th, 2007)
- no worry of hardware failure, data redundancy
- one and only one master secret key. I would like to be able to create separate secret key for different applications so if one application got compromised, other applications won't be compromised
- can't control bandwidth overage. Can be a real problem if your competitors are leeching your S3 bandwidth that you pay for every bit

Amazon.com requested siteinfo.xml? Welcome! A9.com Toolbar Users
I checked the site log today, and found an attempted access to "siteinfo.xml" from a IP powered by Amazon.com.
It turned out that siteinfo.xml is requested by A9.com browser toolbar. siteinfo.xml defines the menu items accessible under "Site Info" drop-down menu under A9.com browser toolbar. More information can be found here.
so I created my "siteinfo.xml" file. Enjoy the customized site info menu, A9.com toolbar users.
