1) eBay locator now has a list of items in addition to the map.

The eBay item locator that draws the location of items on a Google
map now has a list of the items below the map.

The map now also now supports zooming in and out with the mouse wheel.

2) Revenue Canada no longer accepts cash in payment of income taxes.

Found on the H&R Block web site:

 April 30, 2007 was the deadline for filing your tax return this year as
 well as the last time Canada Revenue Agency will accept cash payments at
 their service counters. [In 2008] taxpayers looking to pay their 2007 tax
 bill at CRA counters will have the option of cheque or debit payments.
 
 CRA estimates less than half of one per cent of Canadian taxpayers pay by
 cash so the change will affect a very small number of people. Tax payments
 can still be made in cash at any major bank.

"less than half of one per cent of Canadian" works out to less than 166 950
people.  (Canada's population is 33 390 141 in a July 2007 estimate per
