EBAY HAS A PROBLEM: Has anyone noticed that dirty pictures pop up at the top of certain categories -- like CDs and DVDs? Click on one of the pictures in IE7 and you get word you've just hit a PHISHING SITE. No such notification in Firefox 2.0. And if you go ahead and click through you get an "eBay" screen demanding your ID -- an unusual enough behavior -- and a quick scan of the address bar should dissuade an alert Web surfer from going any further. But one isn't always alert, and more such scams could bring eBay down; God knows it's allowed enough of the garden-variety kind. Don't these clowns even care?

SCORE ONE FOR BILL! I'm changing my office computer's browser from IE6 tomorrow.

P. S. eBay and its PayPal unit have accounted for nearly HALF of all PHISHING TARGETS. This is an outrage.
