The owner of the site called CalculatorCat must have seen the episode of Seinfeld when Kramer decided to answer the movie phone questions and got all tangled up and said, "Why don't you just tell me what movie you want to see."

I guess you would've had to been there for it to have the humorous impact it had on the show, but when you visit the site, CalculatorCat, it looks like the site owner is saying, "Why don't you just tell me what you want to know."

No, you won't find the word 'cybersquatting' in the dictionary, but it does have a meaning and it's not new. For years, Internet Copyright Law has been in place, but for years not many have known it existed and those who do have failed to take it serious. The normal attitude has been, if it's online and I want it, it's mine, but that attitude is slowly, but surely becoming a self-inflicted, dangerous attitude.

Not only is photography, graphic and web design protected under Internet Copyright Law, but since the year 2002 there has been what is known as the:

• Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act

Sometimes simple ideas are often the best ideas. Remember the young man who came up with the idea of selling pixels? After five years, he's still going strong.

I found this several years ago, marked the site, and have been watching to see if the google boys would keep this gadget active.

I still prefer a real flower on my real desktop:-)

It's a new beginning for simple notes. We'll be sharing new ideas and restoring a few of the old ideas.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
