Hi

Just read on the inquirer that if you type

http://http:// in to the firefox browser (note the extra http://)

you get taken directly to the website of a certain company in redmond,
WA which will remain nameless

any idea why,


If you enter something which isn't a URL into the address bar, it 
automatically does a Google "I'm feeling lucky" search for it. Google returns 
MS as the first result when you search for "http://";. Can't imagine why.
