Karlgrass writes: "It seems that finally some smart startup has been able to build traffic by using spam as an effective tool. In last 1-2 months majority of us must have got this tagged mail where some user seems to have tagged you or somebody else. With a familiar Indian sounding name, the click rate was high in order to just find all about it as 98% of spam mails have a western name and suddenly we realized that for a change somebody has used spamming efficiently and in process build a huge traffic (Alexa ranking is 78). But what make us believe think this is a spam mail??? http://www.startupavenues.com/news/2007/03/21/tagg ed-brilliant-use-of-spam-to-grow-%E2%80%A6/"

Submission + - A $200 60ppm inkjet?

ldpercy writes: "Quoted from http://texyt.com/silverbrook+memjet+printer+inkjet +mems+lyra+canon+epson+hp+kodak:

A $200 desktop printer with a color printing speed of 60 A4 pages per minute is just one of the revolutionary new devices promised by Silverbrook, a company which holds more than 1400 patents, but has never released a product. Analysts from leading printer market research firm, Lyra Research Inc, showed this video of the prototype Memjet inkjet printer today, and say they have personally examined it and verified that it is real.
I'm assured by a very good friend who has worked for Silverbrook here in Sydney for a few years that it is real, even though the vid looks a bit fake."
