#124https://com.google - Google showing off their new gTLD in a silly manner.
For or against gTLDs Google should not be able to squat .dev is too generic to give to one company. Infact any one company squatting any gtld that isn't their registered trademark leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
It's just a game of "we have money therefor shut up." combined with "The world revolves around the USA"
