Ok so google finally resolved the PR issue http://domain PR = http://www.domain PR
 

can you guys confirm same observations

nope.
no idea what you mean. can you explain better ?

Nothing to see here.

Shit, I just tested it on a few of my sites and they are both the same. When did this happen? So it doesn't matter now how I type in my domain when link building?

you seem to be correct

i love to be right! :)

It is a relatively simple piece of coding to say "when there is no third level, assume www". Sometimes the google guys are awfully slow to roll out the simplest fixes. Makes me wonder what the rest of their code must be like.

Well,

Its not an "issue" which needed to get resolved. Its fact that domain.com is different than www.domain.com, and as everyone knows PR is assigned to separate pages, not to websites or domains, so it makes sense to have different PR for each of them.

And secondly, http://domain PR = http://www.domain PR theorem is not true. may be you noticed a couple sites where it fits, but infact, these two are separate things and must have separate PR, unless one is permanently redirected to other.

Hope they do the same with search.

Do a "site:www.blah.com" then "site:blah.com" it can be totally different.

so far i have not came to an example where it is not true.... so unless you have an example ....

hmm my main site is now PR2 on both... used to be PR3 on www. and PR0 on just the domain.... interesting.

further prooves the observation

you seem to be right :)

it also looks like they've fixed the www.randomdomainname.com and www.randomdomainname.com/index.htm issue. They seem to match on all my sites.

dayum it does seem youre right i just checked with a bunch of my sites

nope I still have some with two different PRs

is this new? not new here already a few months.

In the first place its not an issue and doesnt need to be fixed - its supposed to be different - idiot - the only thing that may have been fixed for you is that your server admin figured out how to run Apache correctly.
The only fix Google has ever done for anything to do with the differences between www.domain and domain was the tool they added to WM tools to set your preference for which got listed and botted - the PR (displayed in the toolbar I assume) was not and still is not an issue as it should be different - again dependant on your server config file(what the attribute servername is set to)

anything.domain.com = www.domain.com (www is a subdomain)
www.domain.com is not the same as domain.com

no idea why should google fix this, it's not an issue! :)
