How Amazon Employee bought 'Google.com' Domain for Only $12 from Google

Difficult to believe this, as we hardly come across such news.
But trust me, a person managed to buy no ordinary .com domain, but — Google.com and that too for one whole minute.
Sanmay Ved, an ex-Google employee and current-Amazon employee, experienced something of a shock when he found that the world's largest search engine website, Google.com, was "available" for purchase.




What's Even More Shocking?


It's the cost of the most-trafficked domain in the world — Only $12.

Expecting to get an error message, Ved added the domain to his shopping cart and made payment. The entire purchasing process went through without any difficulty.

Within moments, his inbox and Google Webmaster Tools were flooded with webmaster related messages confirming his ownership for Google.com.
"The scary part was I had access to the webmaster controls for a minute," Ved said.
However, soon he received an order cancellation email and refund from Google Domains, as Google personally owns Google Domains, so it can still control all purchases made through it and revoke them if needed.

Google Forgot to Renew Ownership. Really?

It is still unclear what exactly happened – if it was due to a bug in Google Domains or the company really "forgot" to renew ownership of its address using its own domain service.

Whatever the reason, the experience of owning the search engine giant Google.com does indeed sound great.

Ved has posted all the ordeal along with screenshots on his LinkedIn account blog post.

Google rewarded the Guy who Accidentally bought Google.com, But he Donated it to Charity

Sanmay Ved – the man who actually managed to buy Google.com got a huge reward from Google, but he donated all money to charity.
Last week, an ex-Google employee and now-Amazon employee managed to buy the world's most-visited domain Google.com via Google's own Domains service for only $12.
However, Ved owned Google.com for one whole minute before the Mountain View company realized it was a mistake and cancelled the transaction.




After acknowledging the mistake, Google rewarded Ved with some unknown amount of cash, but when Ved generously suggested donating his prize money to charity instead, Google just doubled the reward.

Google Rewarded Ved with More than $10,000


Ved believed that his real reward was just being the person who bought Google.com for a whole minute.
"I do not care about the money," Ved told in an interview with Business Insider. "It was never about the money. I also want to set an example that [there are] people who [wish] to find bugs that it's not always about the money."

Ved donated his reward to "The Art of Living India," an Indian foundation that focuses on providing education to poorer areas of the country.

Ved did not disclose the exact sum of cash Google had awarded him, but he did say that the amount was more than of $10,000.

That is a lot for just a few clicks!

Google Secretly Records Your Voice — Here's How to Listen and Delete It

OK, Google is Listening… and Recording too.
Google is not just listening to your searches, but the search engine is also recording and storing every single voice search you make.
Google is incredibly accurate at understanding your voice. The company secretly stores its users' searches from its voice-activated assistant Google's Voice Search and search feature Google Now to turn up relevant advertisements as well as improve the feature.
But what many of you do not realize is that after every voice searches you made, Google makes a recording of it and stores it in a remote part of your account.




Listen to Your Own Voice Recorded by Google


However, it's no surprise to know that Google is recording our voice because it's nothing new, but it made me really scary when I heard myself so cleared.

Don't believe me?

Listen to your own voice recording by visiting your "Voice & Audio Activity" page in the Google Dashboard and you will find a list of all the voice searches you have made.

The Guardian's Alex Hern was the most recent one to point out this feature. Alex accessed the entire archive of his voice recordings from Google Now and felt a little weird to listen himself.

How to Delete All Your Stored Voice Records?

Google - Page 2 Google-voice-audio-delete
Thankfully, you can delete your voice recordings. That's easy.

Log in to your Google account, head on to your archive of Google Now sessions and then open up the page for your 'Voice and Audio Activity.'

If Voice and Audio Activity is turned ON, you will find a list of all the voice commands you have made to Google Now, along with buttons next to each one of them that will let you play them.

From there, select one or more or all of the recordings from the Checkbox, and hit "delete" button at the top of your system's screen.

There is a way to turn OFF Voice and Audio Activity on your Google account, but unfortunately, this will not stop Google from recording your voice. So, just avoid Google Now feature to prevent yourself.

You can share your experience with us after listening to your voice recorded by Google. Let us know in the comments below.
