  So you can have a last name, use it as your trademark first, file all sorts of documents, get two domains, and then be put through the hoops by a forign company? That's crazy. This guy whould have been awarded damages. He was the first to use Nissan in America before the auto-company in 1984.

    It's the same reason we don't have Burger King in Australia. We have Hungry Jack's. When burger king tried to start its brand in Australia way back when, they were unable to register the burger king licence in all states because in one state a man already had a long running burger place by that name. So instead of having every state bar one with burger kings, they instead opted for a new name entirely.

    The story of nissan.com has always been a fascinating (and angering) case study since domains have been a thing and since the UDRP was put in place. Nissan (the car company) has been predatory and downright evil in their attempts to wrest nissan.com from Fred.

Love their image advertising pricing. "For images, the price is 0.10 per pixel per day. So an 88x31 tag (2728 pixels) would cost 272.80 per day."

I am so confused by this. I was even more confused after I read the FAQ. I have so many questions now. One of them is: What's the point?

> Q: Are there any games? > A: You can chase the purple squirrel. He is animated against a purple background. Click on him to win. The game restarts immediately after each win, only the squirrel knows. That poor squirrel. All those losses, and no one to share them with? There should be a purple countdown, and if the squirrel makes it to the end of the time limit without being caught/clicked on, the squirrel wins. Then the timer resets and a new game starts. Games that are impossible for one party to win are no fun.
