Such a shame they don't own aapl.com, mac.org & macintosh.{com,org}... Off topic: I've noticed that recently, Google's first result for 'Mac' has (mysteriously) changed from "apple.com/mac" to "maccosmetics.com"!

That's very interesting. Seems like an unfeasible task to outrank Apple using that keyword.

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

They are over on the right, next to the settings gear. Switch from the person icon to the globe icon.

That list shows a huge amount of earnt knowledge. Notice the www.applesmartcovers.com domains? That sort of stuff, while obvious in hindsight, probably nets them hundreds of $K alone.

Sorry, could you expand on that? It sounds interesting, but I don't understand the logic.

SEO

They are supposed to, but not for me.

Really? M.A.C. has more brand awareness for that term outside of this little valley.

Just out of curiosity, what is the last line for? 1;

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.

Yeah, it's weird. :/
