Whenever these media events come around, I'll admit I try to predict the URL of the rumored service/product on Apple's website.

Usually, when I do this, I get the all too familiar 404 error with Apple's custom error page such as http://www.apple.com/nothing

Now, we all know that http://www.apple.com/music goes to the iTunes web page, so I was thinking about what http://www.apple.com/movies would yeild. Interestingly enough, you get a 403 error instead of a 404 meaning something is going to be there, its just hidden from view right now...Tomorrow perhaps?

Yes, I am well aware it could mean nothing because of an old symlink or disabled directory browsing...Or its just the silly directory all the movie trailers are stored in...
 
nooooooooooooooooooo.. :eek:

not this AGAIN.. lol!!!

you're just messin with us right? ;))

apple.com/movies is where all the movie trailers etc.. are storedd

But within the code for a sample trailer...

Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML('http://images.apple.com/movies/universal/letsgotoprison/letsgotoprison-h.ref.mov','480','340','','controller','TRUE','target','myself','type','video/quicktime');</script>

Interesting...seems the images and www servers are one in the same....

Oh well, guess I got caught up after reading the digg article about a videa airport express...:(
 
It's like when Apple switched away from PowerPC and it no longer made sense to ponder about a PowerBook G5, they started posting links to apple.com/movies instead... I wonder what will be next.
 
Interesting find. It may not mean anything, but to someone who knows nothing about weather it could possibly be true or not, it's pretty cool :D
 
Did someone say new iBooks next tuesday?
