The news for former flash-sale-site Fab is anything but, um, fab. The company laid off an additional 101 employees last week, and its 'deals' are starting to look a little fishy. One commenter on Gawker pointed out, for example, that a gray chair going for $545 on Fab was priced at $205 on Overstock.com. Then again, Fab is trying to shrug its image as a discount site.
