    I know a guy who built his own blade unit. Wooden blade enclosure and some simply power supplies and his own fans, then made it allow straight motherboards to slide in so that it make having a handful of systems running in a cluster super cheap. Pointless for production, but for a lab was very interesting.

    ....Eh?

    "EBay has patched a severe XSS security vulnerability which exposed potentially millions of users to phishing campaigns and subsequent data theft."

    Do not understand, the article says they have patched it.

    Sure it's fixed now, after -

    Despite being informed of the bug privately, the online auction trading site allegedly left a critical XSS flaw open to abuse on the ebay.com domain, and only rallied to fix the issue after the media caught wind of the flaw.

    They weren't going to fix it until public announcement embarrassed them to do so.

    The case was decided in their favor as the as a "Top Rated Seller" you apparently aren't suppose to leave bad feedback or open cases with them for much longer periods than normal sellers (they also can removed like 5-10 negative feedback per month to keep their rating for being a top rated seller - they make ebay lots of money). Anyway they will send another one, It will take two weeks to get a replacement shipped to me.
