Google Turns 10

Ian Lamont writes "It was on September 7, 1998 that Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google Inc., aiming to provide a better search engine. You can see what it looked like here. Google had a relatively good search engine technology that succeeded in burying many late 1990s competitors, and it eventually developed a successful advertising model and pledged to operate on a 'don't be evil' philosophy. The company now has nearly 20,000 employees and a $150 billion market value, and has been acquiring or developing a host of groundbreaking technologies. When did you start using its search engine? Is the world a better place because of Google?"

    I guess that's why McCain emphasizes his character because he has NO skills, particularly, piloting skills. John McCain spent your hard-earned federal tax dollars and more time crashing planes
    than he spent flying them.

    John McCain: A Zero.
