MessageLabs White Paper: The Online Shadow Economy
April 4 2008 by The Systemic Analyst.
MessageLabs has put out a wonderful paper entitled The Online Shadow Economy. It details just how advanced the business of cyber crime has become and should be a must read for everyone. The report is short and easy to read. I encourage everyone, not just techies, to take a look at it.

Friday Fun, Sort Of: World Without Oil
April 4 2008 by The Systemic Analyst.
Given the rising cost of gasoline this game should be of interest to everyone. Scenario development games are a great way of coping with future issues. World Without Oil is particularly timely. Here’s the official blurb about the game:
“WORLD WITHOUT OIL is a serious game for the public good. WWO invited people from all walks of life to contribute “collective imagination” to confront a real-world issue: the risk our unbridled thirst for oil poses to our economy, climate and quality of life. It’s a milestone in the quest to use games as democratic, collaborative platforms for exploring possible futures and sparking future-changing action. WWO set the model for using a hot net-native storytelling method (‘alternate reality’) to meet civic and educational goals. Best of all, it was compellingly fun.”
It’s a wonder that humans haven’t already found something with which to substitute oil. This attachment (read: obsession with) to oil is very short-sighted. With games like this, at least they will be prepared for the fall out…
