The guy hooks up with the girl. Leading the way home, something pours out joyously. They walk across the courtyard to the front door. She (thoughtfully):
- And here you can walk with a pram and the air is clean...

Head of eBay cut salary in half

The e-commerce shop eBay has cut the salary of its head John Donahue by 53%, the BBC reports.

Donahue was paid $13.8m for 2013, including salary and final bonus. Meanwhile, in 2012 the payments amounted to $29.7m.

The company said the move was due to the fact that although its CEO had performed well over the past year, the firm's financial performance "did not fully meet expectations".

The company's financial performance "did not fully meet expectations". And at once the salary was halved. These Western capitalists are weird.

A Romanian ATM cracker won one of the top prizesat the Geneva Invention Fair last year. And left his "colleagues" without earnings

Valentin Boanta, who was convicted of stealing money from bank accounts, proposed for the competition... an ATM skimming protection system. This is the name given to the disguised devices that Boanta himself once installed in ATMs to read classified information from the magnetic tapes on plastic cards. The idea behind Boanta's invention is simple - the card is inserted through a mechanism which rotates the card 90 degrees instead of the shorter side, and then enters the card reader, making it impossible for the skimmer to read the magnetic stripe.

Valentin Boanta will be able to use the anti-skimmer award in four years' time, when he is released
