Hmmm.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/08/world/asia/cyber-cannibal-china/index.html

One admitted cyber cannibal told CNN he was part of a group that outed a so-called cat killer, a woman who allegedly posted pictures of herself on the net, torturing the animals. Her case captured widespread media attention.

"This is the cat-abusing model. After being human flesh searched, she shunned media all together. She could no longer live a normal life...had to cut off from most social activities. She could no longer show up in public," he told us.

Wang Jieyu can tell you all about the cyber cannibals' devastating reach. The Beijing television director has had his life turned inside out. His phone number, personal photos, where he works and even the identity of his parents and friends, are now public knowledge.

He has been abused in the vilest language via email, he is harassed day and night with hateful phone calls.

Anyone who tortures cats and then posts pics online should probably expect some kind of backlash.

No sympathy for that one.

The human race - stick a fork in it, its done.

The ways in which the internet has changed our lives both amazes and scares me at times.

Yeah I can get a job on the other side of the world, sort all my documentation and flights on my laptop.

Then I read things like this story and another I read a few months back about teen internet obsession...

And I wonder at literally how many millions are lost in workplace productivity every year, I'd imagine every office that has a receptionist, secretary, sales person etc lose at east an hour or two per day per employee due to personal internet useage. Hell I know for a fact they'd lose around an hr from me and I rarely use facebook...
