And .com completely gone? In an hour? I would say there was a human intervention. Although Bing points to .org as well...

Are you implying nobody human would work for Bing?

No, just that the chance of human involvement for two major search engines within an hour seems lower.

It probably wasn't, but it was probably someone he worked with/knew pretty well/whatever and he never thought much more of it or was pretty broke and someone else offered to help him out a little. One of life's lessons and next time he (and we) won't be making the same mistake.

It's a lame situation, for sure, over what appears to be a strictly greedy or personal matter. And hindsight is alwasy 20/20. Fortunately, a good name was available and (hopefully) only an inconvience in time and effort is the major consequence (well, and all those now non-resolving links).

Glad to read the story that all has been resolved now! :)

Why are large parts of the android custom ROM community unprofessional and immature? I always shiver a little if I have to dive into xda-forums, but this takes it to the next level. Puts all the actual hard working developers in a bad light.

well if you look at the way the CM team handled this ( http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/domain-situation-has-been-re... ), at least that was exemplary professional and mature.
