2. 11th birthday
I was a bit puzzled by that one. But I checked the image properties, and it appears they're having a birthday.

Hope you bought them something nice.

4. Aw, they're still at that cute age
Just wait til they hit the teens. Then all hell breaks loose, and by then, they own all the data everywhere in the world.

Can you imagine?

:rofl:

5. if you want to know what one of their graphics is for, just click it and it takes you to a search
with the tags they assigned to the image, in this case as you've seen, their 11th birthday... I told my fam 11 years ago to buy tons of stock in google, no one listened to me - I've done that 3 times now - 1st with ebay in 98, and before that with another company. I have no money to buy such things, but I knew it'd take way off because of the sleek design, and I remember people laughing (for several years) because I said I searched with it and not yahoo.

7. I always hated Yahoo..
If you were on dialup, like I was for a long time, Yahoo was glacially slow with all the graphics and other crap.

Google on the other hand was pretty quick, even on dialup.

Before I found Google I used AltaVista..
