On June 20, 2005, Viacom bought Neopets, Inc. for US $ 160 million.

Media conglomerate Viacom purchased Neopets, Inc. on 20 June 2005 for $ 160 million and announced plans to focus more on the use of banner ads over the site's existing immersive advertising.

The next day, Viacom announced that by the end of 2008, Neopets, Inc would be renamed to NeoStudios, " which will focus on developing new virtual world gaming experiences online, while continuing to grow and evolve the existing ones.

Neopets ( originally NeoPets ) is a virtual pet website that was launched by Adam Powell and Donna Williams on November 15, 1999.

Visitors can create accounts, own virtual pets (" Neopets "), and buy them food, toys, clothes, and other accessories using in-game virtual currencies, which can be earned by playing games on the site or purchased with real-world money.

Neopets also operates a pay-to-play version, Neopets Premium, and sells Neopets merchandise.

Neopets was conceived in 1997 by Adam Powell and Donna Williams.

The entire Neopets site was redesigned on 27 April 2007.

" On June 17, 2008, Viacom formed the Nickelodeon Kids & Family Virtual Worlds Group to " encompass all paid and subscription gaming initiatives across all relevant platforms ", including Neopets.

However, Neopets announced on 1 January 2009 that the Italian, Japanese, and Korean areas of the site would no longer be updated.

In July 2009, the Neopets site was the target of an identity theft hacking scheme that attempted to trick users into clicking a link that would allow them to gain items or neopoints.

According to reports, the hack is aiming not at child player's Neopets accounts, but at using the malware to steal the financial data and identities of their parents.

In an on-site newsletter for players, Neopets denied the report and claimed that the site's security measures prevented the posting of such links.

In June 2011, Neopets announced that the website had logged 1 trillion page views since its creation.

Neopets is set in the fantasy lands of the virtual world of Neopia, which has its own calendar and timezone running concurrent with the real-world Pacific Time.

Players are expected to feed and care for their Neopets when they grow hungry or ill, although they will not die if they are neglected.

Users can play Neopets in any way they choose by collecting items, battling other Neopets, doing quests, playing games and more.

Users can interact with their Neopets by reading books to them, caring for them, and playing with them.

Viacom stated that it was investigating the issue, and that the hack was a version of social engineering rather than an " indictment of Neopets security practices ".

The first Neopets card set was simply an introductory 234-card set, with no prevailing theme whatsoever.

Revolving around a central popular game character known as Hannah the Usul, a substantial plot was released on the Neopets website along with this 150-card set.

This 120-card expansion revolved around the underwater city of Maraqua, which was rebuilt during the plot of the same name on the Neopets website.

There was a Neopets sponsor game starring Fido Dido.

After spending time in San Francisco, he returned to Los Angeles and began working at Neopets, writing stories for the Neopedia.

The original Apple Computer, also known retroactively as the Apple I, or Apple-1, is a personal computer released by the Apple Computer Company ( now Apple Inc .) in 1976.

The high price was likely due to the rare documents and packaging offered in the sale in addition to the computer, including the original packaging ( with the return label showing Steve Jobs ' parents ' address, the original Apple Computer Inc ' headquarters ' being their garage ), a personally typed and signed letter from Jobs ( answering technical questions about the computer ), and the original invoice showing ' Steven ' as the salesman.
