You can can find Google's applications by looking under "Charleston Road Registry Inc.". Amazon is under their own name. Between the two of them, they have some pretty generic applications. i.e. ".lol", ".mom", ".pet" & ".soy"(?) etc...

It looks like Google only applied for 3 non-english TLDs. Amazon has closer to a dozen. Might say something about long term plans.

Microsoft has about a dozen applications, mostly for things they have trademarked. ".xbox" etc.

Apple is in there as well, but only for ".apple". ".app", ".tunes" were both applied for by Amazon.

"soy" is Spanish for "I am"
