Things started to go down hill when Mr. Mugno brought up the fact that he represents a client who is interested in buying domain or domain names that we have. I informed him that we have no intent of selling domain names, nor are we in the business of selling domain names. He started asking questions, as well as making statements, as to why we buy domain names and what we intend to do with them. That’s when terms such as “cyber-squatting” and “lawsuits” started to pop up. He then proceeded to say things like, “Vincent, I’m giving you friendly advice that you ought to know about cyber-squatting and such…” Somewhere, somehow things escalated to where Mr. Mugno called me a liar, referencing back to my apology for the dropped call.

“You’re a liar, I called you on a landline, how could it have dropped…I know all about you and I know what you do,” said Mr. Mugno. This is when Mr. Mugno stopped being a polite individual, and started raising his voice and generally acting like a street thug. What Mr. Mugno didn’t realized before accusing me of lying was that he had probably called me at my Grand Central number (917-477-xxxx) which is forwarded to my mobile phone. By this point, he was yelling at me, saying “I know you and I know who you are…” So I informed him this conversation is over and then hung up.

So here’s my thought on this. Whoever has hired Mr. Mugno to represent them should be embarrassed and ashamed - as should Mr. Mugno. I am neither a cyber-squatter nor am I a domain broker. My staff, partners and I buy domain names with the full intention of developing them into future sites carried under our network. Mr Mugno and his client should know that this is the same type path Motorola took with us last year, and it didn’t end well for them either. I’m a reasonable guy, but when anyone calls me a liar because I don’t give them the answer they want, or starts accusing me of things I haven’t and won’t do because I am not interested in their offer, or starts yelling at me over the phone because they are unable to have a civilized conversation, I think that it says a lot about the company as well as the type agents they retain.

To Mr. Mugno and the company you represent: raised voices and threats are never the correct way to convince civilized people to take you seriously. What you have done instead is make me less likely to listen to anything you might have had to say.

Anyways, at the risk of looking like a tourist, I grabbed my trusty XACTI HD camera and took these two shots for my buddy Ewdi. Go ahead and drool bud, I know you will.

While I will still run MY iTablet, I’m starting to chase another “mythical phone” – the Google Phone (or g-Phone). In my opinion, the Google Phone isn’t going to just be “another cellphone” or attempt to be an iPhone killer. Google’s entrance into the world of the telco is massive, beyond anything we’ve seen (yet). So the idea of a Google phone may someday mean that it’s not in a form that we can touch or hold but the software that drives the device itself. That being said, I’m proud to announce the launch of Google-Phone.com (http://www.Google-Phone.com) - everything Google g-Phone. Armed with a staff of veteran editors, we’re ready to bring you the latest news, rumors and analysis on everything Google wireless.

Aradius Media Network partnered with Smartphone Experts Commerce to bring visitors to MY iTablet, the one stop shop for everything iPhone accessories. The big launch is scheduled for Monday July 16. 2007. We’re giving bunches and bunches of iPhone accessories away. Stay tune for more info.

Feel free to check out the new storefront at http://store.myitablet.com over the next couple of days. We’re open for suggestions as well as any other iPhone accessories you don’t see listed. We’ll do everything in our power to get them for you.

Keep an eye out for the ladie’s of Aradius coming soon!
