Normally I would say that PriceRitePhoto was relisted for a simple reason: money...except that in this case, I can't see where _anyone_ would profit from them being relisted. Am I wrong here? Does Yahoo! or PriceGrabber somehow make money from them being relisted? (bribes?)

Quite unfortunate, really. Such basic ideas making it through...

More proprietary extensions from Microsoft. Now the question is, how useful are they really?
How long 'till it's been hacked so it can be used as a regular video camera?
Maybe he was from china...
Pretty interesting stuff. Hopefully it wont suck like the latest AIM versions...
Oh boo hoo, PG-13. Nothing to see here.
Go figure, we silenced a clip of silence.
