"I badly need it for me startup" and "I hate www to death". Do you really need it that badly or do you really just want it?

I don't disagree, I would like to have it. Also SSL for my domain without having to use appspot.com. But I'd put SSL as a much higher priority.

An url shortener would benefit more from a naked domain than from SSL.

Oh god no more URL shorteners.

I hate the www thing too. The explanation is that you cannot have a cname on a root domain. They coud get around e problem by just hosting dns for you themselves.

The other issue is that you end up having t have yet another service to redirect dom.ain to www.dom.ain as well. Sometimes dns providers will do this, but not always. (Dotster doesn't do the right thing, for example.)
