I use amazon a lot when shopping for little gadgets and gizmos, stuff I can't find locally. I do a lot of research, and generally check other sources to see the real ratings and quality of the products. I must agree, Amazon definitely has an image problem going into this decade.

I'd rather just buy a legitimate "racing simulator" -- a car -- and then take it to the track!

The big scary part is the unknown for me, how will this be abused. Always gives me a bit of a scare when I think about the potential repercussions.

Really gives the term "epic fail" new meaning.

Hi ClarkKent, please check your PM for a workaround until we get the payment API issue sorted.

I also remember the movie based on this experiment, Biodome! Pauly Shore!

Tried to read the article, but it's behind a paywall. I figure it's likely a bot coded to check if possibly leaving stuff in the cart will trigger some sort of deal, coupon, email based discount. Not the most effective way to code up a bot, but I guess if you're just a one man army trying to run a little savings widget or something, it would make sense.

I guess we'll wait and see.

I actually just experienced it a week or so ago, it just appeared on my taskbar, chrome disappeared and my default browser suddenly became edge. Was pretty pissed, figured it was just something I did, but then I thought, that's a LOT OF steps I would need to do, so I just figured it was a part of an update. I swear, one day I am going to switch fully to OSX.
