Google domain was created in 1997 and will expire in 2011. Thought it was a good find, even thought they'll probably 110% renew it. Created on..............: 1997-Sep-15. Expires on..............: 2011-Sep-14. Do a whois and see.
They have patented the trademark. Even if you do somehow get it, you still have to hand it over to them. So you'll lose your $9.
We anyways wont be able to use the domain if we get it by any way.. As larry page is clever enough and for such a huge brand, he has already placed a copyright and trademark validation
exactly lets start bloggin about national googling day, adwords enquiry, adsense enquiry, gmail support tickets for 2011-Sep-14 and for a week from then. we got the sales and support pretty much busy then.. let 'em miss grace period
I'll find the exact time, and register it 0.00001 seconds before the computer renews it for them. MAWHAHAHA!
I hate threads like these... It wont ever expire guys, Google is not that stupid or busy to forget such a delicate thing.
If they did the guy in charge would get fired, sued, and blown up Also, there is no point in renewing. World is going end in 2012 according to some.
I think we all know that but it would be nice if you could at least share the pie with us. Not all things need to be treated very seriously.
