Here’s an idea I wish I’d thought of: asking the government of Cameroon for exclusive rights to the .cm domain name, so that everyone who types “google.cm” or whatever by accident gets directed to you crappy page full of advertisements. Maybe it’s because I’m left-handed, but I never type “.cm”. I’m more likely to enter [...]
