Google acquired the domain when they bought On2, a video code company which was originally called the Duck Corporation. @yegg (founder of DDG) tried to buy it from Google in 2010. He gave his take on it the last time this was posted to HN:

This is not a Show HN. "Show HN" is for something you've made that other people can try: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.

It doesn't go on posts like this, or everything would have it. After all, every post is implicitly showing HN something.


So?


they should also buy chicken.com , which I do not own btw


this is sad.
