I can understand partially why google is going after xyzoogle.com style domains.

Yeah but if they weren't smart enough to foreplan what domain names they wanted, then they shouldn't whine later on - tough titty that they weren't smart enough to register it before someone else did - you focus on your product and move on...

If they want those domain names, offer to buy them from the current owners, and any such other domains they might want, they should go ahead and buy them for $7.95 each from GoDaddy or wherever they get them from.

I wonder if in becoming an ICANN accredited registrar they were under the pre-supposition that they would automatically win such domain names - think again bums!
