I just found the biggest rip-off I've seen in quite a while. I was looking for a vendor of a software product that usually sells for $80 and has an MSRP of $109. Yahoo shopping listed only one retailer, and the price was a staggering $714.74! Here's the kicker though: The name of the web site: priceshock.com.

I wish some web sites had an I'm not a retard link. Often you have to sort through so much self-gratifying marketing trash before you find any real information. I don't hear too many people saying "I must go back to that web site to see if they've updated their fascinating discussion on how wonderful they are." The most obvious example of this is the splash page used by some web sites. As if it isn't enough trouble typing in their URL, you now have to wait for some lame graphics to load and then either click or wait for it to automatically update. What a waste of time! I will give a concession to sites that are genuinely a piece of art, but when I'm looking for information, it's just annoying.
