[android-developers] Re: appbucket: all apps for $9.99 per year, are we just going to watch?

Could be another outfit that took over the androidplayground domain
name. androidplayground was hosted out of the Netherlands last time I
checked. That was after we had chased them out of the States.
It appears appbucket.net get their access through Cogent Co. and is
hosted at Portlane, no? All firms it would seem that have bigger fish
to fry than host pirates. Send them a notice.
