<BR>Lawyers compete for evidence in eBay auctions
<BR>By Lisa Girion
<BR>Los Angeles Times
<BR>After a heated bidding war on eBay, Mark Lanier recently paid $2,125 to win a 1941 Naval Machinery manual.
<BR>It sounds like a peculiar collecting hobby, but to Lanier it was serious business. The Houston lawyer, who sues companies on behalf of asbestos exposure victims, was bidding against a defense lawyer to get his hands on an evidentiary trophy filled with details on where and how asbestos was used aboard ships.

<BR>Some Serious Word-Scrambling at Yahoo

<BR>hat is "reviewuation of medireview art retrireview?"
<BR>It's what "evaluation of medieval art retrieval" looks like after it has passed
<BR>through a Yahoo e-mail filter.
<BR>If that looks like a find-and-replace search gone haywire, that's because it is.
<BR>Yahoo has been quietly using its find-and-replace filter on HTML-formatted e-mail for years, confounding some users who see their words change mysteriously in transit.

<BR>Net Users Try to Elude the Google Grasp
<BR>By JENNIFER 8. LEE
<BR>HE Internet has reminded Camberley Crick that there are disadvantages
<BR>to having a distinctive name.
<BR>In June, Ms. Crick, 24, who works part time as a computer tutor, went to a Manhattan apartment to help a 40-something man learn Windows XP.
<BR>After their session, the man pulled out a half-inch stack of printouts of Web pages he said he had found by typing Ms. Crick's name into Google, the popular search engine.

<BR>At Airport X-Ray Machines, a Mountain of Forgotten Laptops
<BR>By JEFFREY SELINGO
<BR>MACK STRASSER was catching a flight home to Dayton, Ohio, from Washington in March when he was pulled aside at a security checkpoint at Dulles International Airport. Agents waved a magnetic wand over him, asked him to remove his belt and searched his shoes, all while his carry-on luggage sat on the X-ray conveyor belt.
<BR>Frazzled and running late after the lengthy search, Mr. Strasser quickly grabbed his belongings and rushed to his gate. When he arrived in Dayton he realized that his laptop carrying case was lighter than usual: he had left his Dell Latitude computer behind at Dulles.

<BR>BY TAMMIE SMITH
<BR>Luz Garcia knew the Phar-Mor store near her was closing, but she expected to get more than a day's notice that the pharmacy inside was shutting down early.
<BR>As of yesterday, pharmacy records from the two Phar-Mor stores in Richmond - at 155 Wadsworth Drive in Midlothian Market and at 9699 W. Broad St. in Glen Allen's West Park Plaza - have been transferred to CVS Pharmacy stores near the closing stores.

<BR>From a Broken Laser Pointer to an Online Auction Giant
<BR>By DAVID GELERNTER
<BR>Jerry Marcus, a tall, soft-spoken accountant from Queens, New York, already had 1,500 clothing irons, but he was hunched over his computer at home, bidding on one more."
<BR>This suspenseful moment comes in Paragraph 1, Chapter 10 of "The Perfect Store: Inside eBay," Adam Cohen's new book about the most successful company in Internet history, the world's leading sponsor of electronic auctions. Will the tall, soft-spoken accountant from Queens succeed in acquiring clothing iron 1501? I won't spoil it for you by telling. Suffice it to say that eBay has made it big by letting the Jerry Marcuses of the world peddle antique clothing irons to other Jerry Marcuses.
