I would assume the store devices (Best Buy) are locked to a small set of domains for obvious reasons.
Further it seems that it's adding an extra m on the end on all but the first.
EDIT: LOL, -10 on this post. This place is such a swamp of imbeciles. Again, this is 100% a DNS issue, and note that the majority do not have this. Verizon or some other specific provider is blocking what they see, incorrectly, as typosquatting. Guy tried zero Android devices in comparison. Probably because he knew all of the "HRURR EVIL APPLE MAKING MONEY REDIRECTING" sloths would run with it.
- unreal37 6y agoI would assume you're being downvoted for making an incorrect assumption.
- hn_check 6y agoDownvotes on HN have little correlation with correctness. Idiocy reigns supreme here just like every other site. I will restate the assumption that Best Buy's network is filtered. Of course it is. It would be absolutely idiotic to assume otherwise. Further many DNS services have typosquatting protection where if they see an uncommon domain mirroring a "legitimate" (e.g. more common) one it blocks it or forwards you. Is this why this demo does this? Who knows. A remarkable number of people seem to not have this problem. My iPad - nope. My iPhone - nope. So what now? Clearly it is not systemic, however much a small assortment of angry trolls demand it be.
