Google Acquires Many Domain Names

All of these domains were transferred to Google name servers in the past week or so. They are also all registered to Google Inc. You’ll see lots of Android domains as well as plenty of other interesting domain names. We will begin with some of the most interesting (in our view) names. The first one makes us wonder (aka pure blogosphere speculation) (-; if an online tax prep service (look out TurboTax and Intuit?) might be a another new service coming from Google? On the other hand, these domains, like many others, might be part of Google’s domain name inventory to make sure others don’t register them.

This could just be google looking out for the safety of their users by making sure that no one can make a phishing site out of one of these urls.

that may be true for domains like androidsdk.com and such but domains like gtaxes.com would not be used for phishing and seems to indicate they are working on tax software of some sort
