Yes, that is not a typo. Two UMPC domain names were autctioned off for just under $50,000. Unfortunately, Ultranauts.com was not one of them. In fact, you probably haven’t heard of either of them. They are both Chinese domains.

A pair of sites named for ultra-mobile personal computing (umpc.cn and umpc.com.cn), one of the hottest technologies around, fetched an eye-popping 390,000 yuan ($49,000).

Excuse me a moment while I go register ultranauts.cn. Read the whole heart-warming story via CNN.com.
