China Is Facing An Epidemic Of Counterfeit And Contraband Wine

By Pamela Ambleri, July 27, 2017, Forbes

In 1985, a single bottle of wine was sold for a record-breaking $157,000 at Christie’s in London. The purchaser was Christopher Forbes, who was bidding on behalf of his father Malcolm Forbes, the founder of this publication. The bottle was the so-called Thomas Jefferson bottle, a 1787 Lafite. It was thought to have the founding father’s initials ‘Th.J’ carved on to the amber green glass. Other circumstantial evidence had also suggested the third president of the United States was once the owner. READ MORE>>>

Birkenstock is taking a last stand for brand control in the age of Amazon

By Marc Bain, July 26, 2017, Quartz

The German sandal brand, whose contoured, cork-cored footbeds have attracted generations of customers, has become maybe the biggest and loudest critic of the ecommerce steamroller. Last year, Birkenstock USA decided to pull all its products from Amazon, saying the large number of counterfeit Birkenstocks on the site were hurting its brand. Now David Kahan, CEO of Birkenstock USA, is attacking an Amazon program that involves the company buying products from third-party retailers at full price and reselling them itself, apparently with or without the consent of the brands whose products are involved.

Don’t blindly trust companies selling solar eclipse glasses on Amazon

On August 21st, a total solar eclipse will pass through the continental United States — traveling from the coasts of Oregon to South Carolina. It’s going to be an incredible sight, but the only way to watch it safely is to view the partially eclipsed Sun with special solar filter glasses that block out the majority of the Sun’s light. Only certain solar filter glasses sold online have been properly certified. READ MORE>>>

By Leow Ju-Len, July 24, 2017, The Straits Times

Some drivers look for parts from third-party suppliers instead of the manufacturer, and others may unknowingly purchase counterfeit parts that appear to be genuine.

Let’s Play Spot The Fake MOSFET

By Brian Benchoff, July 15, 2017, Hackaday

Recently, the voice push to talk circuit in [Ryan]’s BITX40 radio was keyed down for a very long time. Blue smoke was released, a MOSFET was burnt out, and [Ryan] needed a new IRF510 N-channel MOSFET. Not a problem; this is a $1 in quantity one, but shipping from Mouser or Digikey will always kill you if you only buy one part at a time. Instead, [Ryan] found a supplier for five of these MOSFETs for $6 shipped. This was a good deal and a bad move because those new parts were fakes. Now we have an opportunity to play spot the fake MOSFET and learn that it’s all about the supply chain. READ MORE>>>
