MikeRowe Sells Out Again:

At first it seemed like poor little Mike Rowe was getting reamed by MS. Sure he was demanding $10k from MS, but he had a believable story…kinda. Then Mike Rowe caved in and sold out for a handful of cash, an Xbox and some MS training….we thought that was pretty weak. Today, the kid is auctioning off the Microsoft documents collected throughout this week long ordeal. So I guess this whole thing was about money after all.

We were starting to feel sorry for Mike Rowe, the British Columbia teenager who gave up the rights to his Web site's domain name, www.mikerowesoft.com, after a certain software company raised objections. But it seems Mike may have been after the money after all. He's put one of the inch-thick legal dossiers Microsoft's lawyers sent him up for auction on eBay.
