Odd Orbitz link
So I am on the Orbitz site looking for a cheap hotel in Vegas for tomorrow night and I click on the Las Vegas link and it takes me to here
http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage
As one could see looking at the actual link, the root site is missing from the link (original link below)
http://app/PerformDatelessHotelSearc...dPIB=Las+Vegas
Just interesting

Fairly common web boo-boo. They forgot their hostname -- http://www.orbitz.com/App/ViewHotelS...ue&z=41b7&r=2e . Since app doesn't resolve to anything your web browser helpfully tries app.com instead, which takes you to the Asbury Park Press site.
