Break out the birthday paddle: Google turns 12!
Filed under: Google
It's time to hand out the birthday paddlin'!
Yes, today marks Google's 12th anniversary. Looking back at all the Google news we've covered since Downloadsquad was founded, it's hard to believe that all the acquisitions, free software, and privacy…er… missteps… have occurred in only 12 relatively short years.
Google's cake doodle is provided by pop artist Wayne Thibaud, who our friends at Switched point out has rather a thing for painting cakes.
Enjoy your day, Google — and here's to another year of having no shortage of news about you to report on!
PS: Such an important day for nerd culture deserves something more than Happy Birthday, so I've embedded Weird Al's White and Nerdy after the break.
