 | My iPhone 3G Arrived Today. Is This Device the .Mobi Killer So Many People Say It Is?
A week after ordering it, my iPhone 3G showed up today. Here are some initial thoughts on whether or not this is the .mobi killer some claim it will be. Also, the agenda is posted for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Down Under and an upcoming charity domain auction looks like a win win event for everyone involved.

Quite a few people have emailed and said thanks for publicly stating my opinion on the quality of the FixedLoans.com domain so for domainers of all experience I urge you�to compare this list of names in auction at SnapNames compared to the silly ones that have 60 bidders at NameJet. Granted, every auction house has

Domain Name News just announced the acquisition of DNN.com, which will be their new home. This is a smart and ballsy acquisition, as DNN.com is not only a great domain name for them, but it also happens to be a tremendous domain name in general that must have cost them a small fortune. It’s

| NBC’s (Misguided) Coverage on Domain Names
Historically the mainstream media has covered the domain name space more than once in a negative light. Admittedly it’s much too easy and wagging a finger at someone is often more entertaining. The most recent piece by Andrew Siff of WNBC falls in to this category of negative coverage, but also crosses in to

 | I.O.U.S.A: The US is Doomed Unless Drastic Steps Are Taken: Are They Right?
I went to the opening night of the film I.O.U.S.A.

 | Big Companies Go After .Mobi Domain Names
A sign of strength for .mobi? Big companies file UDRPs to get .mobi domains.
Are big companies starting to pay more attention to .mobi? Recent UDRP filings with WIPO and National Arbitration Forum show this may be the case.
In the past two months, Capital One, Airtran, Tufts, State Farm, and Primerica have all filed
