Google is 10

Larry Page met Sergey Brin in the summer of 1995. They started their search engine named BackRub in 1996. On the 15th September 1997 they registered google.com. On the 4th September 1998 they file as a US corporation. The rest is history, as they say. But I don’t think the story is over yet. It’s an interesting read nonetheless.

And the next bit already visible with the introduction of the Android platform mobiles. That T-Mobile should come out with a first is not really a wonder since a founder of the original company that Google bought (Android Inc.) was once VP of T-Mobile.
