My favorite domain registrat Namecheap started a new contest on twitter. They give away free domains, laptops and readers.

Participation in our Second Annual Holiday Twitter Trivia Contest is simple.

Sign up for a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/signup) and then follow us http://twitter.namecheap.com/ (our username is @namecheap). We will be posting a trivia question every hour on the hour for ten days starting from Dec 14, 2009 12:00 AM EST – Dec 23, 2009 11:59 PM EST. Eight people who reply to the tweet with the correct answer get a $9.69 credit to their NameCheap account. It’s really that simple

Here’s an example:
1) NameCheap (@namecheap) will send out a Tweet (that is a Twitter message) saying “How many pounds does the average human head weigh?”
2) You must prefix your answer on Twitter with @namecheap, so you’d respond with “@namecheap eight pounds”.

All the details you need are here!

In a recent mail:

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal
with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health
continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else
at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my
health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to
allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have
decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and
I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As
CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our
board of directors fully supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

He is taking a 6 month leave from Apple.

Does anyone remember when one popular search on twitter was “steve jobs is dead“? It’s a trending topic again!
