I may be a novice but shouldn't that document not be in a webroot or shouldn't the webserver not render it? I mean, It's not giving any terribly sensitive information but I'd assume that it shouldn't be just dumping like that?
Well my beautiful wife will buy six Mac Cosmetics products some months, outnumbering the total amount of Apple products purchased by our household ever (a total which includes 0 Macs). So it makes some sense to me that more people searching "mac" are looking for the cosmetics, which they research, review, and buy regularly, especially if a portion of Apple searchers are also using more specific terms like "macbook" or "air".
SPYWorld result. What did you just tell us about yourself? :)
Edit: I see it too, seems they have invested lots in SEO.
And: where did the [ Normal | SPYWorld ] buttons go? When Google started SPYWorld it was possible to switch between normal and spyworld searches. I don't see the buttons anymore in my search results. :-o
It's been a long time (obviously), but I think I recall mammals.org being registered right around the same time they were starting to use names like Darwin and Carbon.
Imagine if you will being in the meeting when Jobs shot down the idea "damn it mammals are just too whimpy! i want fierce creatures like big angry cats!!!"
I'm not too sure either, but my guess is in implied value, where without an apple and iPad and smart cover, the domain is worth $5/mo but with it, it's obvious prime Internet real estate and worth a lot more. As for how much money apple actually makes from this domain, I'm pretty confident nothing.
It seems to me that this is a list of their domains that have no functionality other than to redirect to another place. Of the few I tested, they all resolved to the same IP address as well.
Perl modules must return a true value (>0). 1; at the end is the easiest way, but if the last statement in the module always evaluates to true, you're similarly okay.
What really scares me is that somewhere, some code that looks like "%matrix = (); do 'init'; ..." exists. That's one way to implement config files, I guess...
It looks like Apple Illustration got there first in August 1996. I presume Apple Computer didn't have the foresight to go around registering with every ccTLD back then.
