Seems that not only Belfast Telegraph is getting a hard lesson in Domaining.

The domain IFPI.com, a domain that once belonged to the The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), now belongs to a staff member of the (in)famous Pirate Bay. :-)

Peter Kopimi, a Pirate Bay staff member was quoted:

Someone just gave us the domain name. We have no idea how they got it, but it’s ours and we’re keeping it.

Thanks to the great work of Alex King, this blog is now also available in a mobile version. No special URL needed, the blog software will automatically detect if you are accessing the page with a mobile device or not and then deliver the appropriate content.
I love the mobile web! :-)

Here what it looks like on my PocketWeb / Ogo:



Neat!

Again, Apple’s domainers forgot to register the appropriate domains for their new product:

Apple recently introduced the new iPodTouch.
But the domain iPodTouch.com was registered by a man in Canada in 2005 :-)

These domains are also all already registered (not by Apple):

iPodTouch.net
iPodTouch.org
iPodTouch.biz
iPodTouch.info
iPodTouch.us

In the past they also missed to register VideoiPod.com, iTunes.co.uk and iPhone.com …

Apple should start registering domains before making product announcements :-)

But I guess they don’t care, they will just sue everybody. As usual.

Note: iPodVideo.com is worth a visit but it’s NSFW !

While looking up some whois and rank data, I stumbled on the following:


Xing.com

Seen at http://whois.domaintools.com/xing.com

Remember that MP3 tool XING? ;-) Gone long time ago and Xing.com
(formerly known as “Open Business Club”) is a business oriented contact platform like LinkedIn

According to the Sheboygan Press yesterday a 41-year-old Sheboygan man was charged with selling his employer’s domain name (Sofa.com) for $200,000 and using corporate credit cards to finance international trips with a stripper girlfriend, according to complaint filed August 6 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.

He faces up to five years in prison and $25,000 in fines on a felony charge of theft in a business setting.

Now that was some short-sighted deal!
