Why are many of Apple's links currently being shown with trailing dots? Look at the links and you'll see a dot after com: http://www.apple.com./ What gives?

What's more likely to be going on is that you typed in apple.com. by mistake. Since most sites use relative links, you see apple.com. for everything instead. I just tried this by going to cnn.com. and now all links there have the extra dot.

Upon further review... I don't see it except in your link. When I go to the Apple site, it loads as .com/ Strange.

Guess: According to DNS spec, the trailing dot is supposed to be there but for ease, the spec also allows a short form without the dot (basically with the dot masked out but still there).
