HAPPY B-day GOOGLE


Four years ago, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin incorporated their fledgling startup. The reason? So they could cash a $100,000 personal check that had been sitting in Page's desk drawer for a couple of weeks. As Stanford graduate students, Page and Brin had been working together on a search engine they called "BackRub" since early 1996. By 1998, with the encouragement of Yahoo! co-founder David Filo, they decided to start a company, and went looking for investors to back them.

Meet Mr. Anti-Google


Daniel Brandt is a 54-year-old webmaster in San Antonio, Texas, and he's not a fan of Google. He knows that opinion puts him in the minority. Some people have insulted him for it, and others -- mostly webmasters -- have told him please shut up, lest Google get upset. "I've heard all the stories about Google -- how the former cook for the Grateful Dead serves up their lunches," he says, reciting a point of the Google mythology. "I know people love them, and I've been censored on some of the webmaster forums when I get too upset at Google."

Deshalb gibt es jetzt einen Google-Shop mit zahllosen Devotionalien für den Geek, der schon alles hat: Google-Milchkaffeetassen, Google-Lavalampen, Google-Kugelschreiber sowie - natürlich - Google-TShirts und Google-Unterhosen. Und - wenn ich mich nicht verhört habe - beim ersten Laden der Seite wird man mit einer Audiowerbung beglückt.
