FYI Google

GOOGLE was originally called BACKRUB

Like many other booming internet companies, Google has an interesting upbringing, one that is marked by a lowly beginning.


Google began as a research project in January 1996 by cofounder Larry Page, a 24-year-old Ph.D. student at Standford University. Page was soon joined by 23-year-old Sergey Brin, another Ph.D. student, forming a duo that seemed destined for failure.


According to Google's own corporate information, Brin and Page argued about every single topic they discussed. This incessant arguing, however, may have been what spurred the duo to rethink web-searching and develop a novel strategy that ranked websites according to the number of backlinks (i.e., according to the number of web pages that linked back to a web page being searched), and not based on the number of times a specific search term appeared on a given web page, as was the norm.


Because of this unique strategy, another thing you didn't know about Google is that Page and Brin nicknamed the search engine BackRub. Thankfully, in 1998, Brin and Page dropped the sexually suggestive nickname, and came up with “Google,” a term originating from a common misspelling of the word "googol," which refers to 10100.


The word “google” has become so common, it was entered into numerous dictionaries in 2006, referring to the act of using the Google search engine to retrieve information via the internet.

SAYINGS OF THE JEWISH BUDDAH

If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?

Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?

Drink tea and nourish life; with the first sip, joy; with the second sip, satisfaction; with the third sip, peace; with the fourth, a Danish.

Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.

Accept misfortune as a blessing. Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems. What would you talk about?

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single Oy.

There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?

Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then what do you have? Bupkis. (nothing!)

The Tao does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao is not Jewish.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Forget this and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems.

Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as a wooded glen. And sit up straight. You'll never meet the Buddha with such rounded shoulders.

Be aware of your body. Be aware of your perceptions. Keep in mind that not every physical sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.

The Torah says, Love your neighbor as yourself.
The Buddha says, There is no self. So, maybe we're off the hook

the Joke for Saturday

A dad was in a restaurant with his son. The son was demonstrating how he can catch a quarter with his mouth after flipping it in the air.
Suddenly, he started to choke, going blue in the face. The dad realizes he had swallowed the coin and started panicking, shouting for help.
A well dressed, attractive, but serious-looking woman in a blue business suit was sitting at a coffee bar in the mall,reading her newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looked up, put her coffee cup
down on the saucer, neatly folded the newspaper and placed it on the counter, got up from her seat and made her way,unhurried, across the floor.
Reaching the young man, the woman carefully unzipped his pants, took hold of his testicles and started to squeeze,gently at first and then even more firmly. After a few seconds he convulsed violently and coughed up the quarter, which the woman deftly caught in her free hand.
Releasing the lad, the woman handed the coin to the fatherand walked back to her seat in the coffee bar without sayinga word.
As soon as he was sure that his son had suffered no lastingill effects, the father rushed over to the woman and started thanking her saying, 'I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?'
'No,' the woman replied,' I work for the Internal Revenue Service.'
