Stealing your credit card?
Has anyone noticed they want you to register with a credit card on their non-SSL site? Hmmmm

Re:Loads of techie interesting stuff
I was more interested in their Laptop Stockpile. They might be older, but they've gotta be newer than my TI 33mhz laptop that I got on eBay for $30 (works fine).
Unfortunately, they won't ship any of it to you, you have to go pick it up or arrange for someone to get it for you before a deadline or you lose it even if you paid for it, according to the terms. -
Terms and Conditions does not permit itIf you read the Terms and Conditions on the Cowan Alexander website, you'll see a section where it says:
- The sale of computer hardware does not include any software programs or any data that may exist in such computer hardware. Purchaser agrees and warrants that any software accompanying the property that is the subject of this bill of sale will be removed by the purchaser and destroyed, including, without limitation, the removal and destruction of any software or intellectual property. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold seller harmless from any claims arising from failure to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

What the hell is This Thing
I don't know, but Osama Bin Laden and N. Korea ordered 10 of them each. -
Re:Loads of techie interesting stuff
Sun servers, make a cluster of these. Don't forget this pile either
-
No wonder they are gone. They can't tell time!
Seriously - I know they were mp3.com and I know what all they did. I actually thought it was quite cool. But besides the Aeron chairs giving away their inept ways, this picture is the most damning. Look, folks, if it is 11:52 in San Diego, it is NOT 3:52 in New York. It would be 2:52. And it SURE as hell is not 10:52 in Paris! Things like that just point out the sheer arrogance of a company in my book.

Water Bottle
Does the Hummer come with the plastic water bottle between the driver's seat and the console? You can keep the Hummer... I just want the water bottle...
-
Tornado Foosball Table
You all may laugh, but I seriously want this thing There is nothing like a Tornado table.
-
Maybe it's meI can't help but wonder why mp3.com went under. It could have been the Hummer, or the Harley, or the Aerons -- sure, it could have been a combination of everything.
But could you really expect anything from a company that can't even tell time.?!?!
Last I checked, there was only a 3 hour difference between San Diego and NY.

Loads of techie interesting stuff
Some of the stuff is teenage oriented.
However, if you look at the photos from the link in the article, there is :
- an EMC storage server (but it is just a Clariion.
- ADIC tape silo. Nice to get this in your basement.
- Sun servers, make a cluster of these.
- something I could not identify off hand.
- Lots of networking equipment and cables.
- loads of computers, monitors, keyboards,
...etc.. - a large nice plotter.
and other goodies for those who live near La Jolla in San Diego.

Freaking Stupid ExcessNo wonder this company couldn't make a profit. They have more freaking workout equipment than the Crush fitness center in lower Manhattan. What the hell does an "Internet Company" need with a washer/dryer, fooseball tables, pool tables, electronic dart boards, more workout equipment than a Manhattan gym, stand up arcade games, massage tables, autographed size 20 sneakers and other non-business related crap? If I were an investor in MP3.com, I would have shoved that autographed size 20 sneaker up some CEO's butt. Outrageous!
These guys appear to be so wasteful, I bet they used sharpies on whiteboards and just threw them away after each meeting. And we wonder why there was such an Internet bubble and a recession.

There Can Be... Only One!
The biggest shame? They're selling the Soul Edge cabinet!
Please someone snatch that up! -
Aeron Chairs...
Yeah, sure, these chairs came to symbolise the greed of the Dotom Bubble, and they may be "dumb and popular", but there's no denying one thing: they are comfortable. Ask anyone who's ever sat in one, and they will agree. Definitely not worth the $750 per chair that my company paid for them at the time, but they are very comfortable.

Questions need to be answered!
Who the hell is "Pootie"?
What the hell is This Thing?
Does all This Stuff come with the hat and the giant Pez?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Oh, and dibs on the Rocket Ship. ;) -

the MP3.COM database..
Too bad they aren't selling the mp3 database itself! All those songs, lost.. there should be a law or something.
Although that Axis Systems (now part of Verisity Design) machine looks pretty nice. Hm, $1M initial price.. I wonder for how much it'll go now. We could use one at work for various things. -
Great quote
You may have followed the link to look over the remnants of Quokka. The Quokka photos are at the site of Cowan Alexander Equipment Group, who say:
Cowan Alexander Equipment Group is a leading, national auction company providing capital recovery solutions to leaders in technology, finance and industry.
See that? Leaders in technology! Leaders in getting thrashed by the dotcom stupidity
