Three beggars are begging on the mall in San Jose.

The first one wrote "beg" on his broken steel cup and he received ten bucks
after one day.

The second one wrote "beg.com" on his cup and after one day he received
hundreds of thousand dollars. Someone even wanted to take him to NASDAQ.

The third one wrote "ebeg" on his cup.

Both IBM and HP sent vice-presidents to talk to him about a strategic
alliance and offered him free hardware and professional consulting, while
Larry Ellison claimed on CNBC that ebeg uses 95% Oracle technology, and i2
announced begTradeMatrix a b2b industry portal to offer supply chain
integration with the beggar. Cisco just announced that virtually all "ebeg"
traffic runs over their equipment.
