Well, the original post talks about him getting Google Webmaster tools for google.com, which while still not "owning" the domain itself, is interesting because it means more happened than just the domain buying app thinking he owned it.

He bought it using googles own domain buying app, Presumably it is connected to the rest of googles stuff and the other way around.

Yeah, I didn't mean the effects spread out of Google's stuff, just spread farther than Google's domain app.
