link:3 year old Toddler Accidentally Buys $12K Construction Digger Online

A New Zealand toddler gave her parents a shock (to say the least) when she purchased a $12,000 Kobelco digger on an auction Web site. According to Australian newspaper The Age, Three-year-old Pipi Quinlan woke up before the rest of her family and made her way to the family computer. After booting up Internet Explorer, Pipi navigated to an online auction site called Trade Me. Since her mother's account was still logged onto the site, Pipi was able to click her way to a winning bid for the massive industrial digger.

The precocious little scamp said nothing about her purchase until her mother received an e-mail notification from the site confirming the sale.
Luckily for the Quinlan family, a quick phone call to the auction site cleared the mess up, and the digger was re-listed for auction. Is their toddler the next super cyber-hacking genius? We doubt it. She would have used Firefox.

Either 'Trade Me' is the king of website user-friendliness or else the kid is really smart for her age.

Funny story, but easily done. My Amazon account needs only "one click" to purchase something.

Unless you are the lone user, I'd put it under wraps, Dem.

That's no way to speak to a lady- and what's wrong with being a "lone user"?
