Today I was browsing and checking some design related news and in one of the the link wasn't properly written. Was something like:

http//www.example.com

As you can see the link doesn't have the ":" character, however if you put that address on the URL in any browser that uses google to resolve the wrong address (like firefox, safari, ..) you will be redirected to:

http://www.microsoft.com !!!

wtf?! So if you put wrong the address, you will be moved to microsoft.. also happens with:

http//www.google.com

:S! Looks like microsoft spent some money or did some weird trick to hack that google thing..

i think the answer must be money: i was wondering if google redirected there because it's the most famous .com link, but I thought that maybe it was google... so ... m$ wins this time XD
