So, just curious, why haven't you guys bought dropbox.com from whoever owns it now? Seems like a smart move because if I tell people to "try dropbox", they'll go to dropbox.com first.

Techcrunch says 15k of funding so if they've had an angel round it hasn't been announced. It could also be a small angel round. At this point, it's probably not worth spending a large percentage of their bank account on the domain. The dropbox.com domain owner also might want a number that is close to their entire bank account balance.

TechCrunch's info is a bit out of date.

I did the same (Went to dropbox.com first)... very odd. If I owned dropbox.com I'd be laughing I expect...
