Unassuming 'fanboy' bought and very briefly owned Google.com

Massachusetts

MFOR one curious minute, the most popular website in the world was owned by a 29-year-old MBA student in Massachusetts.

It was an hour past midnight, and Sanmay Ved was scrolling through Google's own beta website registration service. Before enrolling at Babson College's business school, Mr Ved spent 5½ years working as an account strategist and display specialist for Google. He's a self-avowed "fanboy" of the company and often tries its new tools in his free time.
