vytas Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well to who is he apologizing to? The average internet user actually never types in the http:// in front of the url. (sometimes neither www. which can cause some troubles on some sites). This is just a sad attempt to get some publicity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 He's just apologizing for the extra time and money that have been spent as a result of his decision. People have been typing "://" for decades, and those three characters have been printed many, many times. He's apologizing for the unnecessary time and money spent typing and printing those characters over the last 40 years. This isn't an attempt to get publicity, an interviewer asked him what he regretted and that was his answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
