nVidia owns the www.nvidiasucks.com domain

[Rand]

www.nvidiasucks.com
It's merely used to re-direct to nVidia's homepage.
I can't help but find that hilarious that a corporation would own a domain name stating their own company sucks.....

First geforcefx.org redirects to ATi, and now nvidiasucks.com redirects to nVidia. This is an unusual week for nVidia related domain names.

It's better to own it than have someone else crapping on your products.
Only a few bucks for that insurance.

That's right. You'd be surprised at how many domains are actually owned by companies just for "insurance" reasons - so people can't take advantage of them.

 

[Lars]

Many companies own such domains.

 

[Valinos]

Companies shouldn't be allowed to monopolize names and sue people to take domains away from them. Wrong. Fight the corporation. Buy your very own thiscorporationsucks.com domain today!

Ha! That's great- excellent point. I'll keep that one in mind... not that I'd be giving consumers a reason anyway.

Maybe that will be the name of it's next generation product! :Q

Speaking of product names and things that suck, I wonder what NVIDIA's gonna name the sucky version of NV30? geForce FX MX would just be wrong

 

[Boris691]

i believe its called the geforce fx ti 5600 for the lower version and ti 5800 for the better one.

Yeah, kinda like www.earthlinksucks.net ... some pretty interesting forum conversations over there. I actually used to work with the guy that created this page when I worked at EarthLink (MindSpring) 2 years ago.

couldn't you make the case that they were squating? what if an organisation of people who really did think nvidia sucks wanted it? corporations now get away with squishing squaters, wonder if it works against em too.

I assumed that the the Ti5600 and Ti5800 parts were more akin to the difference between a Ti4600 and a Ti4400 (merely slower core/mem clocks), rather thann a Ti4600 and a gF4 MX.
