The first story is about a notorious photography store, although I have seen similar operations with other big ticket consumer products. They are regular advertisers in all the glossy magazines with big page spreads. They have incredible prices in the true sense of the word. Turns out they are well-known for hard sell bait and switch tactics. Price tag seems low but to get the same package everybody else sells, the customer ends up paying more for all the individual elements that were originally bundled. Someone tracked down their offices and found out that most of them were mail-drops. Not confidence inspiring.
The second story is about how anything you say on the internet can be used against you. There was a normal thread discussing photography technology and a new bit of software. Imagine the surprise of one of the posters, when months later, she finds out that a newspaper in another country has quoted her, with all her business details in an article.
