Apple, orange or banana .com ?
Take your pick of a fruit: Apple, orange or banana? Quite the fruity dilemma. That’s what the Chinese owners of Banana.com – a domain once owned by the Castello brothers – are talking about, in Chinese of course.

The Chinese obsess with numbers, and that’s a well-known fact. Anything from “123” to “888” has a special meaning to the Asian nation of 1.3 billion.
