Ate the corpse of Famine.
Just wanted to see what happened.
Well, I died. hehehe.
Also on some games, I'd call my character GOD.
When I died, any players finding my bones file would be attacked
by GOD's ghost.
Well it was philosophically interesting:-)
When I looked at the Amex Internet Index on the Parent article, I saw no sign of a boom just a "dead-cat" bounce.
In Wales, where I live, a teenage was convicted for scamming over £45000 on Ebay, the true figure was believed to be about £130000.
When people watch consumer programs concerning internet shopping, the content is usually negative.
Ie instead of "10 best websites to save money", it's "Mrs Jones received a telephone bill of £2000 because of a dialer,caught from the internet".
There has also been a lot on the News lately about phishing and how fake web sites have conned people out of money. And to reinforce it, banks have sent pamplets to their customers warning about phishing.
So my original comment was how the advance in "evilware" over the last 10 years has changed the perception (and confidence) of possible eConsumers. And thus minimising any dot-com boom.
I believe the internet is becoming a bit of a cesspool and will become worse.

Recovery? More like a dead-cat bounce.
To many people, the internet is no longer a new and exciting place to explore , but instead a cesspool of viruses, trojans, dialers, loggers and malware.
For successful eCommerce you need consumer trust.
But with all the phishing scams, people are now wary about on-line sites and on-line transactions.
For many, it's just not worth the hassle.

Force camera manufacturers to watermark their videos with a personal camera identifier.
So those yobs with their latest "triumphs" can then be identified and punished.
Of course such a solution leads to privacy problems
