With the start of online gaming there was a boom of virtual currencies in the virtual market. I have experienced the one of World of Warcraft in the beginning for example.

Is it just me, or does mobile banking seem to perpetually be the next big thing? Maybe it's because I remember how underwhelmed I was by the first generation of WAP browsers on mobile phones when trying to access my bank account in 2000, but over the past decade I can count on one hand the number of times I've done "mobile banking" on my...

Is betting on the Hollywood really any riskier than betting on credit default swaps? Think about it. Imagine you are traveling back in time and the director of Braindead and The Frighteners came to you with an idea to direct a trilogy of three hour length films (yes, 3 hours for each) based on a novel written more than 50 years ago.
