In case you’re wondering, this is how you do an interview with me

tommytrc — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 01:22:16 +0000

I just roared when I read this off the Fake Steve Jobs website… Highlarious!

Questions in advance, nothing confrontational, remember that you depend on me to make a living and in two seconds I could end your career, keep it light, keep it moving, no followups, no arguing, no pressing for more info, be reverential at all times, remember that you are acting as an extension of our PR arm and the point of this interview is to promote Apple and promote our products. That’s how my dear friend David Pogue (above) does it, and it’s why he’ll always have access to our products ahead of everyone else. Much love, David Pogue. And namaste. I honor the place where your interests and my own become one.

Anyway, friend of Gizmodo, Juergen, has created an incredible eBay SDK app that searches the ‘Bay for stuff priced less than $1 with less than 1 hour to go. Sure, you’re going to get a lot of dross, but there are a few interesting little tidbits that pop up here and there. He’s basically covered all of the possible categories, so check it out here.
