Women Now Outnumber Men Online

miller60 writes "There are now more American women than men using the Internet, according to a new study from the Pew Center on the Internet and American Life on gender and use of the Net. While a slightly larger percentage of men than women are online (68 percent vs 66 percent), the larger population of American women tips the balance. Other findings: younger women and black women outpace their male peers by larger margins than the wider population."

    Has Evilbay finally burned out?

    Every auction I've won on Evilbay in the past 6 months has turned out to be a fraud. Evilbay would appear to be further tempting fate by promoting itself to the mentally challenged members of society. Evilbay has long partnered with well known IT vendor SUN Microsystems and now their UK division has partnered for a charity auction with low-brow British tabloid "The Sun". Britain's most popular tabloid is a condescending right-wing pictorial rag, gazed at by people of disturbingly low intelligence. There was also an XMAS TV spot which, being devoid of content, also shamelessly targetted potential fraudsters and victims.
