Pertinent bit of `wget --verbose --server-response --no-dns-cache apple.com`:

  HTTP/1.1 302 Object Moved
  Location: http://www.apple.com/

I suspect one of their servers is down, 'wget www.apple.com' resolves to 17.149.160.10, but 'wget apple.com' resolves to 17.112.152.57 (first, anyway) which is not giving me any response.

Also, in the respective commands I'm seeing:

    Resolving www.apple.com... 17.149.160.10

    Resolving apple.com... 17.112.152.57, 17.251.200.70, 17.149.160.49

I dunno... maybe I'm retarded. But I tried it from multiple machines, so I'm guessing they screwed something up

http://apple.com works for me. Check your hosts file.
