In today’s news: Sanmay Ved bought Google.com for $12 – that’s £8 – at the end of September. He immediately started getting emails which were clearly intended for the web admin staff at Google.

Google rewarded a cash bounty which it then doubled after Mr Ved announced that he’d be donating the reward to an Indian education charity.
