Apple Takes Control of 'Apple.co.uk' Domain Name
After having an online presence in the United Kingdom for more than 15 years, Apple has finally acquired the Apple.co.uk domain name. Dating back to at least 2003, Apple.co.uk has been owned by Apple Illustration, an illustration agency based in the UK. That company is now located at AppleAgency.co.uk.
.co.uk is the primary commercial second-level domain under the United Kingdom's domain hierarchy with many major companies using it as a base of their UK online operations.

Wonder how much Apple paid?
Like I say, I know the guys personally and have worked with them for many years (though not since I became an author full-time). Believe me, theirs is NOT a failed business and I dont know why you think you have some insider knowledge that you clearly dont. The reason they held back for so long is because they did not need the money. I had this discussion with them about three years ago. They are VERY good at what they do and make a ton of money doing it.
I really dislike it when people post comments like yours as though theyre stating fact. At least have the decency to put the words "I reckon..." at the front of your statement in the same way that I reckon youre an idiot.
Be interesting to know the purchase price!
