Either offer them some money or deal with it I guess.

You have no real right to your name as a domain name... If you let them buy it before you or let it expire, that's your loss unfortunately.

Wouldn't Apple or Google be able to prevent others from stealing out their domain names from under them? Wouldn't Steve Jobs or Bill Gates be able to? I don't know the law with regard to this, so I wonder if you're right, and there really is no resolution process.

That is because they have trademarks that most courts would accept, noone has a trademark on their name. Well not normally anyway
