Oracle XE is almost identical to MS SQL Express
Oracle has 12gb storage vs MS 10gb
Oracle has 2gb ram vs MS 1.4gb
Oracle has 2 core vs MS 1 socket 4 core

They both solely exist in the hope your usage will hit that limit and you will upgrade to a paid option.

Oracle Cloud offers 2 always free 20gb databases. MS Azure it is $4.90 for a 2gb cloud database($14.90 for the next cheapest option)

Go to Audible.com and look at audiobook prices. They range from $25 and up, want to listen to Stephen King's "The Stand", that'll cost you $63.

Audible is even weirder, since that $63 is basically the sticker price, but almost no-one pays it. For $15 a month you get credit good for any book of your choice(Including The Stand). For 99% of books it is cheaper to join their club, pay for 1 month, and cancel afterwards, and keep the book. If you run out of credits, you can wait a month or buy 3 more for $45, or as a "member" you can pay 20% off the sticker price. It is like a tiered used-car-dealership

Kilrah_il writes "Google's Creative Labs came out with a slideshow of interesting things on the web. In the slideshow you will find 'a lot of interesting HTML5 apps, iPhone apps, visualization tools, 3D projections, art projects, creative YouTube videos, crowdsourcing services and many other interesting things.' It's basically a collection of fascinating little projects people have made and then distributed to the internet at large. Guaranteed to ruin your productivity for today. You can view it with Google Docs."
