Finally someone has created a rewinder for the DVD! Everyone knows that rewinding your DVD right on your player is bad -- it adds to the wear and tear of your precious electronic equipment. Besides, if you just borrowed that DVD, I'm sure its owner will appreciate it if you rewind it before you return the discs to them.

Domain Name Humor

This is actually a forwarded email sent to me by a highschool batchmate from the U.S. I rarely forward much less publish forwarded emails but this is too hilarious to pass up (my comments are in red):

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today's world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as others see it and not just as you think it looks.
Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following legitimate companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn't give their domain names enough consideration.

(Check them out... they're real!)

1. A site called 'Who Represents' where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name is: www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at: www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at: www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at: www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there's the Italian Power Generator company: www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you're looking for computer software, there's always: www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is: www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their wacky website: www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at: www.gotahoe.com

Moral of the story: Take your time and think hard before choosing a domain name.
