Congrats to five year old Google!

This day marks Google's fifth b-day. Congratulations, and thank you for doing an excellent job! Please don't go Big Brother on us...

The search engine site moved to its first office, actually a garage, in Menlo Park, California on 7 September 1998. This move was helped by the $1m in funding it received from investors, family and friends shortly before. Back then, Google was just four employees, its search system was still being refined and it was handling little more than 10,000 queries per day. Now it handles more than 200 million and Google has become a phenomenon that has transcended its online origins.
