MICROSOFT LAST WEEK made its customary noises about 100s of millions of dollars lost through software theft - a practice that certainly is widespread, as we reported earlier this year.

And now an Asian correspondent points to four auctions on Yahoo Singapore selling fake Rolexes.

Anyone who lives in or travels to Asia will know there's fake Rolexes rolling round all over the place but we'd have thought it wasn't very sound policy for a Yahoo to go round selling them on its auction pages.

Here are some URLs where the fakes - replicas - are up for grabs. Like the first one says: "Like the real Rolex. Just have to shake it".
