    How a porn monger predicted the iPhone 4S in 2008

    http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2011/11...8/#more-162293

    The Apple iPhone 4S has set a pretty predictable trend for Apple?s iPhone naming conventions for the future. After the next handset, the iPhone 5, we can pretty safely assume they?ll launch the iPhone 5S. Figures that out? You?re not alone: Porn pushers beat you to it.

    Apple has just wrestled control of a host of domain names back off of porn peddlers. The most notable is www.iPhone4S.com, which currently redirects to a porn website. Apple?s bought it from them to redirect to the Apple Store, but what?s interesting is that the adult entertainers behind the URL figured out the name years ago.

    That domain was registered in 2008, when the iPhone 3G was brand new. Does Apple have friends in the porn industry? Or are they all psychic? Either way, a quick search reveals that domains for www.iPhone5.com and www.iPhone5S.com are already owned, and not by Apple. Looks like Apple?s cheque book might need to come out again soon?

    yeah because '4s' can't be the plural of '4'....

    so they must be psychic or have some advance algorithm to figure out naming conventions or they must be in the loop at apple

      ....and furthermore. what the fuck is wrong with these so called "fortune" companies? any time i'm about to start on any project - ESPECIALLY in this day and age - i'm checking for the domain name first, then twitters, facebooks, etc etc etc for squatters, trademark conflicts etc. NOBODY thought of checking on iphone4s.com before the product came out? nobody went to check if @qwikster was a weed smoking elmo? nobody??
