In 2011 a small amount (0.02%) of Gmail users had all their emails deleted due to a bug: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/02/gmail-back-soon-for-eve... They ended up having to restore them from tape backup, which took several days. Affected users also had all their incoming mail bounce for 20 hours.
Weirdly nature.com seems to actually redirect to https, as does zara.com, lenovo.com, genuis.com, and senate.gov. Is this list stale, or did no one spot-check this?
This is because whois just searches for domains that start with the given argument by default. Try google.com, same result. What you actually want is `whois "domain apple.com"`.
That's not what happened at all. The link shortener that Obama used was hacked and previously shortened links where redirected. That article says nothing about his Facebook being hacked.
