How does Apple get this domain without trouble? ipad.com
- JacobAldridge 17y agoThey cure cancer. Fair swap I'd imagine.
- Semiapies 17y agoDo they really need it? If I search for "ipad" in Google or Bing, information about the iPad comes up, not this site. I think we're past buying every single domain name that might be relevant.
- ugh 17y agoI don’t think they need it. They don’t have iphone.de (German domain). Heck, Google doesn’t have gmail.de. Nobody cares (Google did, but lost that lawsuit).
- dnsworks 17y agoThey're just going to go through the ICANN arbitration process and take it. They've done it to countless domains in the past.
- jpalmer 17y agoI don't think so. One of the things you have to prove in a UDRP is that the domain had been registered in bad faith. Since it was registered in 1997, I don't think Apple would have much luck here.
- spicyj 17y agoThey don't. See http://www.appletv.com/ http://www.appletv.com/.
- nedwin 17y agoI'm sure if they really wanted it Apple could make a massive donation to cancer research in return for the domain. That would be a win/win. That said I don't think it's really all that important. That's the beauty of brand names like Apple or Google - you can have /groups and /mail instead of needing to own all of these domains.
- derobert 17y agoThe $23 billion in short-term assets on their balance sheet—or rather, a small portion—could help, if they really care.
