How to Outbid the Fanatics: Software That Never Sleeps
If you still think eBay auctions run completely on luck, its time to wise up to the world of e-sniping. Many successful online auction buyers use sniping software to cloak their interests in items on the block until the last possible second before placing a bid thats just high enough to win. Sniping has been around since auctions hit the Web: it began as a manually executed trick of the trade that was quickly automated with software that offered extra features. Now e-Snipe 3.0, the latest version of the industry-standard service, offers outbid notification. For 1 percent of the winning offer, up to $10, eSnipe will not only swoop in at the last minute (or second, for that matter) to bid on your favorite item for as much as youre willing to spend (though even eSnipe cant help low-ballers), but will also begin checking 90 minutes before the end of the auction to see if you have been outbid and if necessary alert you by e-mail to update your snipe. This option wont be of much use to the casual eBay user who goes to sleep early and hopes to win an auction that closes at 4 a.m. But Tom Campbell, the eSnipe chief executive, says that the collectors and resellers who use the service (www.esnipe.com) would find it invaluable..

The Color of Mayhem
THE screen crackles with criminality as a gang of urban predators itch for a kill. The scene erupts into automatic-weapons fire in a drive-by nightmare of screaming car engines, senseless death and destruction set to a thumping rap soundtrack. The action is not part of a new film, but of a video game in development -- the latest permutation of Grand Theft Auto, one of the most popular game series ever. Partly set in a city resembling gang-ridden stretches of Los Angeles of the 1990s, it features a digital cast of African-American and Hispanic men, some wearing braided hair and scarves over their faces and aiming Uzis from low-riding cars..

March Madness, in Like a Lamb
Routinely, the N.C.A.A. mens basketball tournament is the greatest sporting event of the year, and in particular, the tournaments first weekend serves up the most entertaining four days in sports. Yet this year, the N.C.A.A. has unwisely decided to step on that Thursday-to-Sunday tradition by beginning the tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a set of First Four games. In doing so, the N.C.A.A. has somehow conspired to create a situation in which the first round of a second-tier playoff, the N.I.T. - particularly the Harvard-Oklahoma State game that will be broadcast on ESPN on Tuesday - is more interesting than the first round of the N.C.A.A. tournament (broadcast on truTV)..
