With all the institution name dropping, somehow I suspect a weaker candidate from a big(ger) brand name university would be hired over him and his main chance was to measurably prove he was better at programming, which sadly he failed to do

In this case can Sam be forgiven being young and naive? So far it seems he has only experienced lifes "ups" and is surrounded by people who have yet to fail (in any significant way) with ego/attitude to match that such lack of hubris brings

Seriously, stop writing. If you are aggrieved, take the guy to court. That is what the legal system is there for. Blogging will inevitably only prejudice a case. If the money does not matter to you, then at least do it to set precedent and

The reality is the best .com (and .net/.org/.tv/etc.) names have long gone. Short of being lucky with a droplist or in the domain aftermarket, you will not get a good one without $$$. Work with what you have. Build value. Build a brand. The

Regardless of the reasons/ethics for selling, it is still good entrepreneurship if you can turn around your efforts for profit in one day. Much of entrepreneurism is about grabbing opportunity.
