Saw that yesterday, since little snitch said iTunes wanted to go to 
bogusapple.com which seemed a bit, shall we say, unusual.

How could Apple hard-code something like that?  Even assuming they thought it 
was a good idea, how do you not register the domain to ensure someone doesn't 
do it for you?

Also, insert joke / complaint about wildcards @ the roots or GTLDs....
