This thing is attracting a lot of attention from the press over here. Basically the guy is selling 1 pixel for $1 (in batches of 100 pixels). As you can see, he\'s coming up for half a million. Not bad for a 21 year old.

Anyone else get the \"why didn\'t I think of that?\" feeling? /cry.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />

Wow.... yes I do get that feeling. I could have bought a new computer if I thought that one up.

Yeah, but obviously those haven\'t gotten known very well hence the lack of usage. Million dollar homepage got attention by news websites and etc... so basically this idea probably wouldn\'t work too well. /cry.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> But it is a good idea.

Already been done, somewhere....

The guy is only making money because of the press he\'s getting. It won\'t last forever but it was still a brilliant idea. Shame so many copies exist.
