Yeah most of it is just for laughs but on occasion he finds something particularly funny (note the Win8 PayPal link)...the Ecommercebytes site is a good source for eBay news/laughter as well.

I became a fervent anti-eBay crusader after they began implementing a ton of hostile changes to their selling experience aimed at getting rid of smaller sellers like myself. It didn't take long for me to notice something fishy in their discussion boards (particularly with regards to PayPal). I began posting my suspicions in my blog and got a number of emails from tipsters informing me of the Liveworld connection. It's now well enough known to the point that these shills don't even deny it when accused. This site was a really good source of information, lots of damning screenshots...I even started a forum just to spotlight their stupidity. Now, whether MicroSux uses Liveworld specifically I can't say, but cybershilling is a growing business. The only thing that puzzles me is how do they recruit children (one would still think they're violating some kind of child employment laws)... d North Korean Missile Test Delayed by Windows 8

Hi all -- new member here, just wanted to let you all know how happy I am to have found the *one* sane forum with regards to the whole WinH8 mess...I found this site when my blog stats showed some traffic coming from here (thanks for the plug!). With regards to the rampant "Windows 8 is great" posts everywhere, I am seeing a striking similarity to what eBay does (particularly with regards to their PayPal division)...for those who don't know, they legally hire shills via a third party called Liveworld, which is how they manage to dodge the $11K/message FTC fine. What I don't understand is, with MicroSux deliberately doing away with the desktop in the near future, i.e. the main work tool of the world, how is any...um...work going to get done? This truly baffles me. Retirement can't come soon enough! Don't know if this was already shared, check out the reference at the end of this article. Looking forward to sharing more thoughts/observations/facepalms on this topic! d
