This might as well be another quest for the holy grail.
Is there any such thing as the perfect e-product? Or can we look at what is available and pick one as being the perfect e-product?
Now speaking philosophy, everybody would have their own definiton of nirvina or perfection. We can only paint a picture of our own paradise. All we need do is define it from our own situation by painting a picture of what we would call 'ideal' and that would be our own perfection.
And that is basically how products are created. In the mind of its creator, it is perfect because it meets their own definition of 'ideal' based on their own experience. This is also why many products fail. Their definition of 'ideal' becomes their limitation.
This is also why many products start well and then stuttering, eventually become irrelevant. That is, they stick to their 'ideal' without allowing a critical component to come in at a critical moment.
Perfection is a canvass. If you lay singular claim to that convass, you might end up being the only one painting and appreciating that picture. But if you deliberately set out to allow your definition of perfection to be ambiguos, everybody might see it and say it's perfect because they have one way or the other been allowed to have a 'stake' or paint a stroke on that canvass called the product.
We are just talking about the philosophy of a product in product creation and in the quest for the perfect e-product. This is just a thought....maybe there will be more in our quest for the perfect e-product.
NB
I have posted this article on two blogs because they can both gain from it. The perfect e-product is an idea that sells and it would also be a choice product#

The Xrumer: Implicit and Explicit Implication
The internet has gradually seeped into every facet of our loves to now become something that is like skin to us. Platforms have come and gone but each one pushed the boundaries of the internet further into our homes and lives. Today, platforms like face book and twitter, YouTube and Google have gone even further into our daily consciousness. We cannot do without the internet and the society are further become more internet dependent by the year.
The dangers inherent in this can not be quantified. It is so wide in scope that we would have to write volumes to do justice to it. But we want to look at this in terms of aspect of this danger and one aspect is intrusive applications like the Xrumer.
Simply put, the Xrumer app is fearful in scope. Which ever angle you look at this product, what the Xrumer does is to give you a clear warning as to our society becoming increasingly more internet dependent so much so that apps and products that can take advantage of this increasing dependence and abuse it.
There are people and companies who need this dependence to survive or become increasing relevant, Microsoft and Google are good cases in point. They phish and highlight the benefits of the internet but the dangers are more real than ever before.
We have now come to a stage where some fearsome tools are coming into public domain. There are tools and apps that are extremely dangerous because of there capabilities. But the only 'good' thing about them is that they are not in public domain. But governments may have the power but they don't have that absolute control over intellect and ingenuity, over what can come into the public domain.
Now the Xrumer may be based on technologies that will soon be made illegal or placed under tighter control but the implicit implication of this product is that more are in the horizon. More products that are capable of doing things that would portend danger to the public are as we speak being perfected and deployed. This are products that will even make the Xrumer look like kids play.
The problem is control.
The control of the internet is concentrated in the hands of one. This is dangerous in itself but the issue this points to is that policing the net almost becomes an impossible task. It is not practically possible now because of legal and logistic and moral implications. As Unitarian as the internet is, it still has multiple borders, boundaries and hence jurisdictions. Control is in one but jurisdiction is in various hands, this is the disaster that has already being set out when we talk of the implicit implication of apps like Xrumer. If it is banned in one place, nothing stops it from rearing its head in another.
The Xrumer program can go into areas that it’s not permitted to. The explicit implication of this is that it is a rogue program that is designed to bypass security checks and balances. Implicitly speaking, the Xrumer is a reflection and a pointer to greater dangers our internet dependency portends. The control issue does not help matters because it being viewed or weighed from a prestige/political angle rather than from the more practical economic, social and most importantly security angle.
Solution
A solution to the implicit implication of the Xrumer is to break the control of the internet. This would have far reaching but positive consequences. It will also affect our increasing internet dependency and bring it to a level where it will be just one of the driving force of our modern society rather than the driving force.
Sincerely speaking and for all practical purposes, our modern day civilization can not afford to have the kind of dependence on the internet that many are rooting for. It is dangerous as it is already and the Xrumer is just one of those apps out there that shows how dangerous it has become.
We have to sit and re-access our strategy of engagement when it comes to addressing internet abuse. We need palliatives that are far reaching than the reactionary mode we have permanently switched to; we wait till something happens before responding. There are some first punches we won't be able to withstand. This is why we need to proactively address the implicit implication of the Xrumer product. I know you won't take it lightly when we say that there are far more dangerous apps that will be coming into the public domain in the months and years to come.

My Choice Products
this site is about products i find online and take a liking(or disliking to). i want to concentrate on products on clickbank since it is always a beehive of activities. this does not mean that we won't be going outside now and then to look at others. This is just an introduction, all the opinions shared will just be opinions and i guess i'll have to put in a disclaimer.
