Why must we continue to insist on dumbing down our presentation of technology. Instead we must insist that users rise to the occasion. We are all inextricably linked to technology and yet I wonder if the newest users even know what a file extension is; because we hide that by default for some reason now. How many people have been the victims of phishing because an alias is more prominently displayed than the actual domain which the email originated from? I'm ready for a return to function over form. Do not hide information from me. If I suspect that your product development is driven by the lowest common denominator then I will look for alternatives. http and https are distinct and as such cannot be hidden; you could replace them with icons (barf) or ports (unlikely). www.site.com is a subdomain and is again distinct from site.com with the 'www.' omitted. Just because they tend to resolve to the same server does not mean that they must. Let's just call PI 3 because those decimals are an eyesore.
