Yet another example of the little guy being hurt (in this case killed off) by Mr. Big-Rich-Online-Bully. In this case, eToys.com has decided to take etoy.com to court and got them to take down their website or face a fine of $10,000 per day. Normally this is a clash of business to business, but in this instance, etoy.com is simply an experimental design site, and eToys thought that they "dimished their brand" since the names were similar, even though etoy.com was around over 2 years before eToys.com. I've already sent my email of disgust to Jonathan Cutler, Public Relations Manager at eToys.

I've went ahead and made one of those nifty IE 5 icons that will appear next to your URL if you bookmark it. Try it out and let me know what you think. For those who want to find out more, and make one for their own site, Favicon has great info, along with a snazzy Java applet that will make one for you.

version 6 progress:

*starting new project, "CERN".
*favicon.ico file created.
