News?

Can anyone tell me why (oh, why)

c|net’s news site, named “News.com“,

is actually located at http://news.com.com?

It’s not because they don’t own the “news.com” domain, because they do … and it gets redirected to news.com.com.

D’uh?

*thinks* .. maybe they didn’t always own that domain, so they got
com.com instead … but even if that was the case, they own it now, why not
phase out that silly redundant .com? Do they think people like the extra .com? It’s definitely not easier to remember ….

odd ..
