" They’re a new online auction model that is becoming hugely popular. Penny auctions allow individuals to do just what the name implies--buy new, popular products for just pennies on the dollar.

One of the most interesting and successful companies offering penny auctions is called QuiBids. This Oklahoma based company auctions off brand new products such as iPads, Macbooks, HDTVs, Digital Cameras, Gaming Consoles, and more for steep discounts, often as much as 85 percent off their retail price. So, how do they do it? Savvy bidders have recently been able to buy a brand new Apple Macbook Pro for $23.90, a Nikon D90 Camera for $45.84, and Sony Playstation 3 for $12.32. The auctions are also insanely fun. But, the best part of QuiBids may be the “Buy-It-Now” feature.

When the students at Belle Haven Middle School in Menlo Park, Calif. graduated, they got Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg, or Mark Zuckerman, as the principal accidentally introduced him as, spoke at the eighth-grade graduation relaying some of the most important life lessons he’s learned during his 27 years on this planet. Mr. Z, as the principal also called Zuckerberg, is moving the Facebook offices to Menlo Park and said the company is going to be neighbors with the school. Zuckerberg stressed three main things in his speech that he claims society got wrong: There are no shortcuts in life, great relationships are extremely important, and do what you love.

Zuckerberg started by saying that everything that’s worth doing is actually really hard and take s a lot of work. Secondly, Zuckerberg stressed the value of friendship and forming good relationships with people you can trust. Watch the video below to see the full speech. 88 Constellations Preview. StumbleUpon.
