I just read a TIME article about XBOX 360 trying to take over all media in the home. M$ is going to try to win the NextGen console war with XBOX Live.
Mark my words these web-apps are just a preparation for making XBox 360 "THE" all-purpose multimedia machine. I mean if XBOX Live lets Mom and Dad do email, surfing, basic word processing (over the web), while letting the kids play video games, watch DVDs, and listen and burn music, why would you ever need a PC?

p.s. I don't plan on owning a 360, but if one should...happen...to come my way, I wouldn't complain.
Fraud is only a (real-world crime) if someone is cheated out of something in the real world. If the bot-stolen booty is returned, then the only people who can file charges in the real world are the obsessed who paid real world $ for the vitual treasure. It's not the virtual mugging that is illegal, it's the real world selling of ill-gained goods that is fraudulent.
And no ones talked about about jurisdiction. What if the bot-weilder were in the U.S.? Would Japan make an extradition request?
