lol I was reading at other blogs and I see this really interesting news on net… that google have forget to renew its domain Google.De the discussion is hot in here, These are explaination from the registar, and you can see the screenshot of Google.De When its down here

 

Update

Goneo called us with the full story from its end. The google.de domain changed hand three times last night, a spokesman said.

A request to take over the domain was placed with Goneo about a week ago. The firm automatically placed a request with German domain registry DENIC (the equivalent of Nominet), which put the request to Google’s German provider. The provider did not respond in the first instance, and ignored a second approach from DENIC.

Update 2

Looks like we’ve nailed the culprit. We received this frank confession via email:

Hello Chris,I am the person in question registering the domain with Goneo, although it did happen inadvertently. I showed my girlfriend how one of my domains had been taken over by somebody else with the Goneo ordering system - but before entering my contact details, I went back in the ordering process and registered a different domain. Somehow, the Goneo system must have received both domains to register…

Greetings,

- The accidental few-hours owner of google.de

According to procedure, DENIC then approved the request on Monday evening. Goneo became aware of the registration, and arranged with Google and DENIC to have it transferred back.

Unfortunately, somebody else had made an application to register it too, through another domain company, which had also been ignored, so it was transferred to them first.

Google finally took possession its German digs this morning.

 

 

I just found out that in German, when you want to move your domain you have to write email to denic.de then denic.de will write a letter to your old domain registar. If the old hostinf provider didn’t send the letter back with five days it mean “Yes” so the Google registar seems forgot to say “NO’…..

As for the Microsoft, its happen on 2003 when the forget to register domain hotmail.co.uk, you can read the complete story in here
