I think my my last post at my other blog may have ruffled some feathers somewhere. rotfl! That means it's time to hammer away.

Here I have the Megfail playlist from the Cappnonymous full service ebay critic/consumer awareness channel at youtube. The embed code is here.

 I created this quite some time ago, back around when all the "Monster Meg" articles were in the news.  We've sure seen the claws and fangs since then more than just a couple times, eh?

I'm going to try and keep in current but there is a lot of Megfail and there is sure to be plenty more. If you have any juicy Megfail videos, contact me and I'll add it.

I see her name is featured prominently at the top of a what looks like a serious complaint.  Priceless!

Update:
I see that videos are already vanishing from the playlist, being made private etc. Here is the original cbs5.com news video, from around Mar 9, 2010, of the epic Meg Fail at her press conference in Oakland.
"Whitman Shuts Out Press At Her Own Media Event"

which replaces video:
Meg Whitman Ducks Her Own Press Conference In Oakland
from youtube, as that one became 'private'

Meg Whitman's campaign used a FAIL Blog screenshot with fake content to attack another political candidate. (Jerry Brown)

FAIL Blog is not used for anyone's political campaign. We don't care about your political party and politics. FAIL Blog is a place for fun.

Now, to be clear. This is real! Read more here at Honesty Fail

Here is the actual Meg Whitman ad video on the Meg2010Campaign channel at youtube.

Slick little extension. Comes ready to use with Facebook, Twitter, GoogleServices, Wikipedia, The New York Times, The Washington Post, PayPal, EFF, Torproject, Noisebridge, GentooBugzilla, DuckDuckGoScroogle, and Ixquick.

Seems easier to set-up and write your own rulesets than firemole for example.

HTTPS Everywhere is in Beta!

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.

Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS. Firefox users can get it by clicking here 

HTTPS Everywhere

Not sure just how much protection or privacy this will actually afford, since (if you've been paying attention) we know that ssl has been cracked in more than one way, including now cell phones and/or smartphones, and appliances are commercially available (supposedly only to Law Enforcement LoL!) to intercept and decrypt it.

ebaY Free Seller Special Listings Week Glitch Scam

On 05.26.2010, ebaY announced a listings special to run for 1 week.

The ad read: "Seller Special 1 week only: May 26-June 1 Get free Insertion Fees for all Auction-style listings--regardless of start price* List even big ticket items--start the bidding where you want Pay only if your item sells"

The next day, sellers/listers were being charged for the supposedly free listings. Ebay LiveChat Live Help claimed "Glitch."

This is a part of what appears to be an ongoing and larger, clear and continued pattern of behavior, all aimed at wrongful enrichment via deception; glitches, canned email, willful ignorance, and incompetence to stagger the imagination.

Once again I call on the impacted users to complain, complain complain to appropriate authorities.
