I read the article and it seems like I still have no interest in taking part in mass online shopping wherein I am a miniscule part of the mass. My main comment that comes out of reading this is:
What exactly is a gameboy computer game? There's gameboy and there's computers. I see no mutant gameboy-computer hybrid on the horizon or anywhere else, for that matter.
I hope this doesn't spread, or my parents will start saying, "You spend too much time on that gameboy." That would just be annoying. So please, join me in writing the author of that article with a demand that she complete the sixth grade or higher before she continues to write her little news--oh, it's The Dallas Morning News. Nevermind about the whole letter thing then;
The headline states that twenty-five percent of online transactions go bad, but the study doesn't show anything like that.
The study shows that when you gather 100 eCommerce sites (at random?), you'll have complications with many of them.
That is no surprise, but around 80-90% of current online transactions probably occur at the top 50 or so sites at this moment.
The fact that some random retailer's site still says "Not Exactly Finished" doesn't mean that a whole bunch of people are getting failed transactions. It means that their online dollar is going somewhere else until that vendor get its act together, or what have you.
Furthermore, they're ignoring delivery issues, so it appears the main thing they're pointing out is that lots of retail outlets don't exactly have super-duper-professional web sites yet. This is not news.
Order a nice, juicy book from fatbrain.
Now try to order a book from www.somerandomcompany.com. Did one fail? Does that mean that 50% of online transactions fail?
Personally, the fact that hare-brained studies like this actually make news really annoys me.
I've reviewed the comments and they sound like this: "how do you play this on linux?" "where's the linux version?" "not everyone has linux." "everybody has linux." "why post this link if we can't even play it on linux." very humorous to a linux-less newbie.
"Sega will be leaving the hardware market and focus on networking and game development" Sega is notorius for making plenty of seperate gaming consoles with plenty of add-on hardware. Whoever misunderstood this phrase is speaking enlish as a third language at most.(or at least not familiar with Sega's history.)

The webmasters will not be able to resist.
