Combined Insurance Group Ltd has lost two domain name battles for seemingly generic domains, CheapAutoInsurance.com and CheapAutosInsurance.com.

The company claims trademark rights to “Cheap Auto Insurance”, even though many of these trademarks and their dates of use are questionable based on evidence brought forth by the respondents.

The insurance company owns the domain name Cheap-Auto-Insurance.com. It should remind you of another case where a company with a hyphenated domain name is making a dubious case: the owner of c-a-s-i-n-o-s.org going after casinos.org.

Transformers Star Drives the New Camaro at the Brickyard

Josh Duhamel, aka, Captain Lennox from the soon-to-be released summer blockbuster “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, will lead the field with the pace car in this year’s Indy 500. But the star won’t be driving Bumblebee, the film’s heroic Autobot; instead he’ll be behind the wheel of the all-new 2010 Camaro SS.

This year the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway is celebrating its centennial, while Chevrolet celebrates its 20th time pacing “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” The famous “Brickyard” will be reserved just for Pace Car practice and although normal pacing duties call for around 90mph, Duhamel could push the Camaro to speeds of over 100mph.
