Ordered a couple of cables of eBay, they must have lost money.

I was after a couple of USB to Micro USB cables, the ones to charge phones, so nothing special. The ones at home are getting a bit worn. So for 99p it was a bargain, so I ordered too. So total order of ?1.98, and postage was free.

Well the items arrived on my desk today. Cables are fine, however they arrived Special Delivery. This means its cost them ?6.40 to post them, unless they have some special deal with Royal mail and that they get a percentage off. But still, they cant have made any profit from this transaction. Even if they made 80p per cable, it doesn't even cover the postage they paid.

They are probably Google cables that will send tracking info back to google and will then make money by selling info about you!!!!!! :fencing:

lol, thats a lot of computers on the barge. Imagine the processing power if it was to search for aliens, like SETI. I used to do that for a few years. A few pulsars were found in that time, but no radio broadcasts from another world. Perhaps its only a matter of time, and perhaps never in our lifetimes.
