Apple snaps up Universal domain name

THERE'S STILL NO OFFICIAL confirmation of whether the rumoured deal between Apple and Universal Studios will come to fruition, but it's obvious the maker of personal computers is champing at the bit.

Just in case the $6 billion comes off, it appears that Apple has registered the web site appleuniversal.com, ready for business to start.

The whois server reveals that appleuniversal.com is registered by Apple Computer Inc of Cupertino, just a few days ago, on the 11th of April. µ
