This is an odd url for Apple to register.

Any speculations?

I don't know but they've had it for a few years now.

Wow, I checked the WHOIS of the domain name, and sure enough, Apple owns it... odd stuff. It was registered August 20th, 2002 - more than a year ago. Wonder what Apple is up to.

They can use it to sell their operating systems.

Maybe after Apple gets finished naming Operating Systems after cats they'll start with mammals.

"Today Steve Jobs announce OS XI, codenamed 3-toed sloth".

I know, I know. Cats are mammals. Tell it to the marines.

maybe they had a great idea for a new commercial or something but it never really panned out? it definatley is strange.. maybe jobs was bored?

This domain has been associated with Apple for at least 2 or 3 years. It made the rumour mills buzz for a while and the inside info was that Apple was considering an ad campaign likening themselves to the mammals and the Wintel world to the dinosaurs with the obivous connotations re: evolution. The Darwin tie in was also central in this whole thing.

The .org designation is for non-profits...no?

Maybe something for their opensource Darwin project.

Either that or just an alternate server that hosts an exact copy of Apple's website, or maybe its there for testing?

 

[MACSPECTRUM]

or maybe for $20 a year apple gets free advertising by people speculating on why apple purchased that domain name?
