Faking the news
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006Ok, we know we’re not the only site out there reporting on the Sidekick 3 rumors. but at least we’re not making up news…
Sidekick3.blogspot.com has been posting various made-up stories, only to get pwned on each one. The best being a fake ebay listing for a Sidekick 3 from AOL member RWiLL40158.


We especially like how he has ” MS Paint” open with a doc called “ebay” in the screenshots. As if this didn’t need further debunking:
- Ebay user: hiptopdeals808 nor the auction # exist at ebay.com or ebay.ca.
- Check out this auction Same price, same item location, same member join date, and same auction end time. Can you say photoshop source?
- The auction image shows the URL “ebay.com” but the cancelled page shows “Ebay.ca” logo.
- Notice the Auction Item info in the Title Bar on the auction page?
Edit: Updated the auction link, sorry, mis-pasted.
