Any character is valid after the domain name separator in the URL as long as it is encoded properly. The only question is whether your web server can handle it, whether most browsers will handle it, and what will it look like to end-users? Also, is it worth it if people can't type the url easily by hand? Will search engines refuse to index your page? Etc.
pyrates:You assume nefarious reasons for Apple doing things and then rail against those reasons.Did you ever stop to think the only reasoning you have for them doing what they did is your own and thus by complaining about it, you're only complaining about your own reasoning?I know I can handbrake movies to 640x336 and play them on my iPod. And that's using a version of handbrake that came out before the video iPod. So it seems like iPod video can play standard MPEG4 after all.So perhaps you're just plain wrong about all of this.
It allows people who don't understand how to setup BeyondTV or MythTV to make a really lame media-server, without the ATSC/cable decoder, online program guide, PVR, or really anything else that makes a box like that useful.In other words, its a product for non-technical/"brand conscious" consumers - Apple consumers.
The story title is inaccurate. As of today (Friday, March 16) NO AppleTVs have been actually shipped.As others have noted, official ship date is March 20th. Apple seems to be holding to that date.
Apologies to Ireland, it sounded to me like the typical (insert your least favorite browser here) fanboy post, trying to tell us all 'the page is fine, you can't see it because you don't use the only GOOD browser'. I missed the part where you said you would have typed apple.

Digg appears to parse the "invalid" characters out of the URL.
