In name dispute, it's Googles vs. Google

Got the spelling wrong, but the meaning right: From the Google website

--"What's a Google?

"Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web."--; Posted by: AbsolutelyNot Posted on: 07/07/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
