I was just wondering, if any one knows why page rank shows on some pages http://www.example.com and not http://example.com and then some times it shows on both.

Basically is the lack of page rank when the http://example.com url a indication of bad things to come?

If the SE's are listing different URL's for the same page, with and without the www, you may have problems. Technically, they are different pages (www.example.org is a subdomain of example.org). It's part of the "canonicalization" problem. You need to force everything to one version, with something like mod_rewrite in .htaccess, or a "base" tag (and absolute internal links can help too). The PR variations you're seeing, "then some times it shows on both", suggests you might want to take care of things before it gets too serious.
