Google Birthday Celebration

...dedicated to its tenth birthday. The site features Google trivia and milestones, as well as an interactive timeline of Google history:

Google Maps is also in a festive mood with the Street View guy:

(Member when he dressed up for the Fourth?)

And as if those werent enough celebrating, Googles spreading the love with Project 10¹⁰⁰. The project is designed to provide funding to ideas that help people:

If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. Were looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and were committing the funding to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. Final idea selections will be made by an advisory board.

Good luck, and may those who help the most win.

Theyve pledged $10 million to helping people help others. The top 100 ideas, as chosen by a panel of Google employees, will be announced January 27, 2009. The public will then winnow the field to the best 20 ideas. From those, the Project 10¹⁰⁰ advisory board will select the best five to receive funding.

Its a noble idea, if a little vague. But I know I wasnt expecting a gift for Googles birthday.
