Me, CNET :)

With CNET, I would also own the following:

download.com
mp3.com
search.com
tv.com
news.com

and many others :Q

The most amazing domain portfolio... so many opportunities.

What about you?

IGN/Gamespy

Then, I would whip Dave 'Fargo' Kosak back to his senses so he can give us more PlanetFargo goodness. And yeah, I would breathe life back into The Daily Victim.

P.S. Dave Kosak has one helluva amazing sense of humor. I used to e-mail him all kinds of crap and while he rarely replied, the few times he did was solid gold.

Because honest people get intentionally screwed and have no recourse through using it and its daughter company (which I'd also own through owning Ebay) PayPal. Granted, the majority of the problem may be through PayPal, but it doesn't really matter because they both still encourage screwing people/businesses/copyrights/etc...

It seems you have answered a completely different question to the one actually asked... are you a politician?

How about MySpace before News Corp. bought them?

If that idiot Tom held onto his wad for a little longer, most industry experts estimate his website would have commanded $7-$10 billion (instead of the $580 million Murdoch paid in 2005).
