It's a strange combination of eBay, woot, and slot machine... Even when you win, you can lose. Remember that each bid costs you 75 cents, while only increasing the price of the item 15 cents. "
This is an interesting concept, and the figures, well, these guys must be rolling in it. Exploiting human nature the best way possible - without them knowing it.

"Adobe Flex Builder 3 Pro is available for free to students and faculty of eligible education institutions."
Although Flex 3 is open source, there isn't a decent IDE out there for it apart from Adobe's commercial Flex Builder 3. Luckily, they've made it free for students here - just fill in the form and attach a scanned copy of your student card. Only takes a day or two to get the key. Pretty neat stuff.
