Apple stock to skyrocket? Green light in iPad Trademark in China

Posted by DomainGang on July 2, 2012, at 12:04 am

Apple has settled a thorny trademark case in China, where it was impossible to produce and import the iPad – until now. For $60 million dollars, Apple acquired the mark from the Chinese company Proview Technology; this gives Apple the green light to proceed with mass exporting of the iPad to China. Proview wanted $400 […]

Silly Chinese hacker obsessed with numbers

Posted by DomainGang on June 26, 2012, at 1:02 pm

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. This all turns to silliness, however, when a wannabe hacker from China attempted to log into our server: IP: 125.76.206.81 (CN/China/81.206.76.125.broad.xa.sn.dynamic.163data.com.cn) Failures: 1 (ftpd) Blocked: Yes […]

Sorry that we touched some sensitive chords!

Posted by DomainGang on June 23, 2012, at 11:02 am

It seems that we touched some sensitive chords with yesterday’s revelation that Chinese domain repository, 4.cn is actively engaging in the fine art of trademark violations. Its understandable that one has to be supportive of their sponsors and all that good stuff, but to be referred to as “scandalous” and even “offending” is simply hilarious. […]

Chinese auction site 4.CN is the new king of trademark violations

Posted by DomainGang on June 22, 2012, at 9:20 pm

Ever since it changed its policies, Australian Domain marketplace, Flippa, has taken measures to disallow and remove trademark violations. The new king of obvious domain violations is now 4.CN – a Chinese auction web site that clearly shows the state of lawless anarchy in China, regarding intellectual property. For example, more than 90 “facebook” domains […]

Did Name.com bow to Chinese cyber-extortionists?

Posted by DomainGang on April 21, 2012, at 10:29 pm

The domain registrar, Name.com, is well known as an industry workplace with positive corporate culture. The employees don’t just have casual Fridays, they have beer on that day. It seems that a domain that was registered with Name.com sustained a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) on Thursday. The domain name Boxun.com is an online […]

zixun.www.net.cn – Chinese domain copycats busy at work

Posted by DomainGang on February 11, 2012, at 12:52 am

About time for another DomainGang editorial. Shane Cultra wrote an interesting article a couple of days ago, about “the value of unique.” I fully agree, creativity comes at a premium and those that can churn out copy – per the old school approach – will always come on top of those that simply copy and […]

Chinese spammers: We love blocking entire /16 networks!

Posted by DomainGang on December 11, 2011, at 1:32 pm

We wrote before how the Chinese create a network of crap traffic on the Internet. We don’t want to speculate how things would look like if the Chinese government wasn’t blocking a lot of outgoing traffic to major networks outside of China! Luckily, the Great China Firewall is in place. Chinese hackers and spammers scan, […]
