I don't agree with the common belief that 'power corrupts', because I understand that we need power to do anything at all.. What corrupts is heartlessness and there is definitely an abundance of that in the tech world unfortunately.. It's part of why I created the Earth Heart community social network at Ureka.org.

It's the unaccountability that extreme amounts of power tends to grant within present society. The lack of accountability is where most of the problem stems from, IMO.
With Ebay it is interesting that I have no idea if anyone actually checks to make sure that they aren't rigging all or most of the auctions for their own gain - which they could do quite simply!
