macfriend.com ???
What’s the problem with macfriend.com? How is that different from MacDailyNews.com?
Ooops, I own meetmac.com … Hope they’re not going after me…

Your not cybersquatting the domain, or selling products… I think you can relax a bit.
OMgBBQWhoa!!!!
MDN is next!!!!!11!!!oNwe
Macfriend will be the name of the new SLATE.
Jubei: Don’t fear the apostrophe.
apostrophe 1 |əˈpästrəfē|
noun
a punctuation mark ( ’ ) used to indicate either possession e.g., Harry’s book; boys’s coats) or the omission of letters or numbers (e.g., can’t; he’s; class of ’99).
I like Tapplet for the hypothetical product name.
Sounds like a David vs. Goliath situation.
MacDailyNews is safe. This website is a great promotion for apple. I doubt they would close a website supporting their company, And not selling apple stuff.
macfriend.com???
Maybe macdailynews.com is next?
@ Ampar,
Just in case he might ever refer to Exposé as Expose, go ahead and give the fellow a lesson in acute accent marks too. Better safe than sorry.

Could be something in the list they wanted badly, or just routine. If it was just enforcing their brand image or trademark then MacDailyNews, iPodDailyNews, AppleInsider, MacWorld, etc, could all be under the gun. Take a look at all the ads around this webpage – most leverage trademarked Apple names, so why’d they hammer this little nobody? I’d say it’s odd except Apple went after a Mac computer school at the end of my street for using a logo that was only evocative of theirs. I mean hey, what kind of logo would one expect a Mac school to use; a pear?
Any mention of Apple or it’s products vill be controlled by Apple and Apple alone. The infiltrators vill be persecuted.
Hail Jobs!
All (but one) of the domain names have one thing in common within the site name: they use the name of a product produced by Apple.
I agree, macfriend.com lumped in among the products is a puzzle. Unless it was taken because it was one of the many here owned by the same guy so they just grabbed them all.
Blueipod? Shouldn’t Hp get that one? http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/index.html

MDN: ironic – indeed!
The article doesn’t say it clearly, but strongly implies that the guy was not compensated in any way for the loss of his domain names.
It muist be a squatting issue – as there are an ungodly number of mac sales sites that use “apple” or “mac” macmall macconnection WeLoveMacs applepalace macmedic, etc. They must have been squatting or doing something shady for apple to go after them. Apple legal mist have a lot of interns, and I’m sure they file paperwork like this when there is some downtime in the office.
I’m running for the hills, they can’t have my geniusonsite.com.
Well maybe for 3 Million and a sweet 5 year employment contract.
Thank God I still have my • ipodsbaratos.com !! What ! Noooo.
boys’s coats?
Well, the apostrophe created an s hole, I suppose.
Apple, as usual, is against freedom and liberty and FOR tyranny and control.
“Well, the apostrophe created an s hole, I suppose.”
Good catch. That might teach me to stop copying/pasting from the OS X dictionary. Or not.
“boys’s coats?”
Actually, it looks like it’s an acceptable possessive form for a plural noun.
Hole filled.
Sir Gill Bates: That might be too obtuse.
