  • kylethompson1, on 09/05/2008, -2/+10Happy birthday!
  • timothyadam222, on 09/06/2008, -10/+13Wow, tip my hat to Google the next 'Skynet". What's scary to think is if Google does eventually take over the world I wouldn't mind much because Google shiznit actually works and does what it says it will do.
    • ORBAT, on 09/06/2008, -6/+6"Shiznit"?
      I should report for being offensive for that. All that "-znit" and "-izzle" stuff annoys the everloving ***** out of me. Not to mention it makes YOU look like a complete retard.
      • Derrekito, on 09/06/2008, -2/+5I don't ever recall hearing mentally challenged kids using such slang. Please refrain from offending them :p.
      • guinpen, on 09/06/2008, -2/+4touchy, touchy
      • damian7, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3Somebody's having their period today

        What's wrong, did you run out of your Tampax Pearls?
      • skidme, on 09/06/2008, -1/+2It's not his period, he's just got sand in his vagina. Learn to tell the difference.
      • bman1984, on 09/06/2008, -1/+2fo shizzle ma dizzle
      • ORBAT, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1I'm on my period AND I don't like bix nood speak
      • timothyadam222, on 09/08/2008, -0/+0Yes, my Mentally Handicap (Retarded) brother Ian who died Aug, 2. 2004 would be a bit offended. He would have dreamed of fitting in with the rest of the kids who said cool things just to enjoy life as is without bias towards others as they where towards him. Still be well ORBAT... ;)
    • timothyadam222, on 09/08/2008, -0/+0Thank for the support and jokes from the other replying individuals. Well Played...

  • datagod, on 09/06/2008, -3/+23From an idea to world domination...in under 10 years. What will the next 10 hold for them?
    • arctic, on 09/06/2008, -14/+3That was the stupidest comment I've ever seen. They don't dominate the world dumbass.
    • Sil369, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3universe dominaination?
    • davidkeithjones, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2Slow decline, just like IBM, MS, and Yahoo.
  • mark076h, on 09/06/2008, -2/+12If you want a great book about google and how it got started and makes money I recommend The Google Story http://www.amazon.com/Google-Story-David-Vise/dp/0 ...

    really Google had come a long and a long wayy!!!
  • jboitnott, on 09/06/2008, -2/+4What amazes me about these guys who started from nothing is that now more than a dozen of them are billionaires. How many other tech companies out there have THAT many billionaire current and former employees? I don't think Microsoft or Yahoo do.
  • blukor04, on 09/06/2008, -5/+0Really Nice !!!
    im already bookmark it.....
  • kishosingh, on 09/06/2008, -6/+1Hi, it is great thing about Google. Google is now a big and #1 companies but what is reality, is inside the sharing stuff.

    Thanks for sharing it.

    • danhauk, on 09/06/2008, -1/+0How can they be evil if their motto is "Don't Be Evil"?
      • Darkkish, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6How can I not be a ham sandwich if my motto is "I am a ham sandwich"?

    • smackythefrog, on 09/06/2008, -3/+1What a fag. You're both losers. Him for posting 10,000 stories and you for keeping tabs on a man through the internet.
  • bodger, on 09/06/2008, -2/+19Oh crap, before we know it, Google will be a teenager.
  • stevebede, on 09/06/2008, -4/+3I just love those two Lego guys sitting on top of their first server. One looks real happy and the other is sooo sad!

  • djauto23, on 09/06/2008, -2/+4I am a Jem'Hadar; I have pledged my life to the glory of the Founders, and I give it to them gladly, for I am a Jem'Hadar. Obedience brings victory; victory is life. That is the order of things...
  • gonzomultiverse, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3Yeah, just wait a few years until those hormones kick in. Google the Tween. Brings back junior high nightmares all over again. *shudder*
  • slearwig, on 09/06/2008, -1/+15This is the prototype Google search page; November 11, 1998.
    http://web.archive.org/web/19981111184551/http://g ...

    The first link on this Google page is the prototype page.
    The second link became the official first page.
    http://www.archive.org is a keeper!
    • haentz, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3Hm, I tried to search for "porn" on the archived page. It didn't work...
  • arjie, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3Hey, notice how all the shirts for that Palo Alto shot show "Google!" instead of just "Google"? Sure yahoo did that to theirs to escape trademark, I wonder what the thing was for Google.
  • mrliberfarb, on 09/06/2008, -2/+13the link is broken or expired. :(
  • fr0mundacheese, on 09/06/2008, -4/+6what ever happened to that company anyway?

  • aussieNickuss, on 09/06/2008, -1/+6I always find it hard to believe Google is ONLY 10 years old. Google is so ingrained in my everyday life, it's impossible for me to imagine it not existing.
  • jerkychew, on 09/06/2008, -2/+2Somebody should tell cnbc that the original url was google.stanford.edu, not www.google.stanford.edu as the article printed.
  • DigeratiMVP, on 09/06/2008, -1/+10404
  • LilBambi, on 09/06/2008, -1/+5Link is MIA for sure.
