As long as Google is honest about what they do I couldn't care less about product extensions. It's the dishonesty that has me all riled up and with good reason.

What is Google doing which is dishonest?

Advertising is advertising is advertising...

You don't like it, I don't like it, HOWEVER the fact is that these domain sitters have spent serious money to buy these domain names. They're not free, they have to pay their dues.

Do not be jealous of them simply because they are doing what you have not done or did not consider as a business model.

The day that Google/YPN/MSN/whomsoever stops paying them will be the day you can have their domain names.

We all want to have the most prestigious, trade/publicly recognisable name at the top of the tree, reality is that most of shop in the Dollar/Pound store.

It serves a market segment, if you want to go for it, do it.
