What is even more weird is that, the book is up for sale and people buy it. It too has 4.3 out of 5 rating on Amazon and people seem to enjoy buying it. At least, for now!

(c) Pixel Website :  On 26 August 2005, Alex Tew decided to raise funds for his university education. So, that's how the pixel website .Which is popularly known as The Million Dollar Homepage was born.  

The home page consisted of a million pixels arranged in a 1000 × 1000 pixel grid; the image-based links on it were sold for $1 per pixel in 10 × 10 blocks. The purchasers of these pixel blocks provided tiny images to be displayed on them, a URL to which the images were linked, and a slogan to be displayed when hovering a cursor over the link. The aim of the website was to sell all of the pixels in the image, thus generating a million dollars of income for the creator.

Launched on 26 August 2005, the website became an Internet phenomenon. The Alexa ranking of web traffic peaked at around 127; as of 9 May 2009, it was 40,044. On 1 January 2006, the final 1,000 pixels were put up for auction on eBay. The auction closed on 11 January with a winning bid of $38,100 that brought the final tally to $1,037,100 in gross.
