Sand Flys in the Second Life Sandbox

sl_closed.jpg

Oh for fuck’s sake. It’s like a bunch of kids throwing sand at each other in a sandbox. Apparently, some Second Life dude stole some virtual possessions of others (using this replicator thingy called Copybot) and those others (sounds like Lost here) retaliated by shutting down their businesses all across Second Life and hanging “Sorry, We’re closed. Thanks to Copybot!” signs in front of their businesses. And marketers really want to get into this muck.

UPDATE: Linden Labs, creator of Second Life has banned the use of Copybot. OK, boys.You can put all the sand back in the box now.

People who build wealth without anyone noticing usually aren’t doing anything dramatic, they’ve just replaced three ordinary decisions with automatic ones: retirement contributions that come out before a paycheck is seen, a savings rate that rises quietly with every raise, and a lifestyle that stays flat while income doesn’t
