But for this, basically the name came up in the comments, in the first post(on 07/21/2008). When it was just an idea. They didn't start calling it a CrunchPad until the 2nd prototype, 6 months later.
Not saying which way is right, but that is the reality.
b) they registered it on the 17th, when I already had the domain for more than a year.
c) the product is already dead
But yeah I know they can probably still nab it, if they try, but I figure if they do, I can still win from riding their bad publicity wave. It'll have everything: a clumsy company forgetting to register a domain for their product + company name(lollerskates) and that same company using big mean lawyers to steal the domain away from their fans(boo lawyers, boo big business).
And who knows, maybe the reason I registered the domain was to sell my own line of CrunchPad Yoga Mats.
Either way you'll benefit. Publicity is sure to be yours especially if you play it up like TechCrunch is playing it up right now.
Probably missed a few, so if you know of any, let me know.

but it currently redirects to a page on my other site( http://styleguidance.com/the-life-and-death-of-crunchpad ), but once I have some free time I'll make it a proper page.
