They probably bought it to prevent parodies/rumor sites. You know how much Apple dislikes rumors/leaks.Wonko The Sane

I saw that one last week. If anything, it might have to do with bluetooth/cellphone integration.666th poster and 666th thread-creator

Its been arround for a couple years now, so it shouldn't just now cause an alarm. I remember reading it had somethign to do with apple being ahead of its time again. I do believe it was going to be part of that old thing call eWorld (then why isn't it ephon, i dunno)~The Penguin | Captain, Intelligence Operations / Space Cowboy |
There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path.

So, if it's owned by apple, but it's just to keep people from starting hoax sites, then why in the world would apple have it used as a redirector to their website? This is fishy smelling to me.... and I don't like the smell of raw fish! ________________
