| The Miracles of an Automatic Free Scripts Installer
Fantastico de Luxe is an add on for cPanel, that allows you to automatically install many open source scripts like blogs, content management systems, ecommerce applications, customer support scripts, image galleries and more. The advantage is that you will not upload your scripts on server and at the same time all other installation requirements, such as file permissions (chmod options), will be automatically set by the installer. It provides a very friendly web browser based interface, intuitive and easy to use even by beginners. As a consequence, anyone will be able to install applications like Mambo, PHP-Nuke, OS Commerce, WordPress and others, without having knowledge of FTP (file transfer protocol), CHMOD (file permissions settings), PHP or HTML. From the cPanel main page you must identify the Fantastico application and then, from the right menu you must select the desired application you want to install.

But further reductions are more than possible and could occur rapidly.

Analyst: E-tailers may get coal in their stockings
A Bear Stearns analyst argues that e-tailers will be under pressure as consumers slow spending. Bear Stearns analyst Robert Peck said in a research note Friday that e-commerce warning signals abound. "The season is clearly being impacted by the general consumer pullback, with concerns on oil, housing, and the stock market. Many consumers are actively pursuing bargains and may be waiting for further promotions," writes Peck. It had been widely assumed that e-commerce giants such as Amazon, eBay and others wouldn't be affected too much by a broader slowdown. The big takeaway: There's still plenty of growth, but there are worries. This fact plays into the expectations game. Merely hitting growth projections may not be enough for e-tailers. Peck, who on Thursday talked e-tail with ComScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni, cooked up the following conclusions: eCommerce growth started off very slowly (18%) vs.
