Some of those people are just awful. I agree, news.com pretty much becoming news.com is a big coup for CBS. Then again, cnet hasn't been able to capitalize on these bad ass domain names why would CBS be able to do anything with them? CBS should walk in the door and fire half of the “on-air” talent at Cnet.

Nice domain for a news website. And so is TV.com. Perfect place to stream all of their cbs shows online. So what if they move all the news.com content over to cnet.com and give news.com to cbsnews….

I don't know how much the CNET content machine may be worth, but a lot of those addresses could be gold.
