For those who don't know, ww.com was the first multi-webcam site on the net. Jacques has shared some stories over the years of hacking that (technically and the nascent business modelling) together - very much in the spirit of this Lego, and his other, projects.

Wow, looks like he is really 'hoarding' a lot of domains.

I'd be interested to know what the HN sentiment is for this kind of behaviour; his only claim to these domains is that he got there first - he obviously has no intention of using them beyond selling to the highest bidder.

That was the asking price, it fetched a lot less than that (about $1M). Then there were taxes and some debt to get rid of but in the end it was a good deal.

Ha wow, I'd have a mini cluster of GPUs powering it!
