In a pretty clever marketing ploy by Microsoft, they have “buried” $10,000 somewhere on the internet, and claim it can only be found using clues and the new Internet Explorer. My bet: Some clever hacker is going to find it using Firefox on Linux, right?
The Chicago Tribune online shares a collection of user-submitted Peeps recreations, including Oscar winner “Man on a Wire” and “Mary Poppins.” So it must almost be that time of the year again — when everyone freaks out about PEEPS! Isn't that what Easter (and springtime) is all about?
