DeskMac Hoax
Registration information lists Apple Computer, but not under their usual registration id, and utilizes non-Apple domain name servers. The domain appears to be hoax registration.
This news item was posted to curb speculation/rumors on this domain name.
Historically, Apple has owned domain names which have yet to serve any purpose, such as iPhone.org, MacMate.com, and Mammals.org. These urls have existed for years, yet discussions on these urls resurface every now and again.

maybe someone at Apple at one time was trying to throw a wrench in the rumor mill - its obviously working - or did a little experiment to see how long it took someone to find out about it.

Think Darwin, as in darwinism.
Mammals evolved as the highest form of life while the dinosaurs became extinct (or become birds... )
and his email goes to info@computerlarry.com - which isn't a real site either. Ha!

Squatters do some weird things trying to make money off of well-known names, but I'm surprised Apple never went after this guy with macintosh.com.
