Has anybody noticed how the cybersquatters are attacking AAPL and its unannounced products? Back when AAPL asked for the domain appleimac.com from a youth in Canada, it sparked a media uproar.

But if you poke around at Network Solutions or at domainwatch.com , you'll see that people unaffiliated with Apple have already registered appleibook.com, applewebmate.com, and applemacmate.com.

themacmate.com is registered by the imac-oriented publication theimac.com . As a AAPL fan and Internet professional, these kind of actions are to me, completely abhorrent.

For as much interest as there is in mammals.org or ikids.com, there are three others each day being grabbed that make apple's job only that much harder.

My two cents
