POPSThe illusion of control Some interesting insight into human psychology. Clipped from an article by Malcolm Gladwell discussing how psychology played a role in the recent Wall Street debacle. Personally, i think it was one thing - greedy bastards who didn't give a shit what happened to other people as long as they got rich.

POPSRoo Reynolds, Metaverse Evangelist I like job titles that make you do a double-take. I recently spotted this in the Beeb online. These types of articles are becoming more common; I can't imagine it's too long before the novelty wears off and they become ubiquitously meshed yet valuable, like what Steve Jobs thinks of Levi jeans. ;) From an insider perspective (I work for Linden Lab), I should note how dapper Roo aka Algernon looks, and how unique his head is shaped: you'll often not find prominent eyebrows like that in Second Life, especially paired with big blue eyes and a teardrop-shaped head not unlike that of a classic Gray alien. Lots of room for avatar customization, that's for sure.
