I have to disagree. I mean, yes, the money-grabbing scheme is probably true, but I don't agree with the part about them being bad taste or too long. I will probably lose at most one hour of my total life having to spend extra time typing > 3 characters. And that's a purposeful overestimation. We have browser history and bookmarks. As far as bad taste, I don't know, I'm not really comfortable with creating this "legitimacy" for .com domains or any 3-letter domain over any of the others.
