Happy Birthday Google
So, yesterday was the 10th birthday of Google, the company that has indisputably had the biggest impact on the way we use the Internet. What started out as a simple search engine (an by simple, I mean the one that everybody flocked to because it was head and shoulders above the competition) to a search engine plus a slew of nifty online applications, desktop applications, and now a web browser (which is awesome, I might add). Plus, they are heavily involved with the movement to open source cell phones where anybody can make applications for cell phones and we, as consumers, are not stuck using the provider's default (and oftentimes idiotic) applications. Perhaps best of all is the fact that almost all of their services are completely free. I'm down with that.
