Watch: In this garage, Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google’s journey

-

With an aim to organise the world’s information, it was about 25 years ago today that co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin registered their domain google.com. And then the rest is history.

Watch_ In this garage, Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google’s journey

As Google is celebrating the silver jubilee of its domain registration, a video is making rounds on the internet that shows the first office of the American multinational technology company. Today, the tech behemoth might be an employer of around 135,000 full-time staff, but back in 1998, Google was a fledgling internet company that consisted of two founders, Page and Brin, working out of a garage. Yes, you read that right. The video posted by a Twitter user shows that the then Ph.D. students at Stanford University, Page and Brin had rented a garage of a house to work on their company.

The video, which appears to be a time capsule video, was shared with the caption, “On this day, 25 years ago, Larry Page and Sergey Brin registered the domain google.com (September 15, 1997). Here is the company’s headquarters and the co-founders in 1998.” The camera, in all probability, is held by Brin, who even gives a glimpse of 25-year-young Page, by calling him “CEO of Google.” Page can be seen saying “Hi” to the camera. The video opens with the camera person revealing that between two houses in a residential area, the co-founders rented half of a house, basically the garage, as the first headquarters of Google. Entering the garage, the camera shows a few computers kept between several heaps of papers.


Then Brin takes the viewers to his office in a separate room, which is still loaded with a mountain of papers but is less messy than the other rooms shown in the video. Brin’s office had two computers on the table. Needless to say, the video is buzzing over the internet, with millions acknowledging it. The now-viral video has left legions of social media users inspired, as one user took to the comments section and wrote, “Wow precious footage of the then HQ of Google. Internet searching wouldn’t have been so easy without you guys.”


Another commented, “One of the Garage Gang!”

What are your thoughts on this video?

Racial slurs on Twitter increased by 500 per cent after Elon Musk took over, platform blames trolling campaign

Elon Musk finally took control of Twitter last week after buying it for a record $44 billion, one of the highest amounts anyone has ever paid in a tech acquisition. When Elon made the original offer to buy Twitter, Musk said that he is a free-speech absolutist . Musk and his fans had positioned him as an entity that would safeguard free speech at all costs. Well, it turns out, people really put that theory to the test. As per a report by The Washington Post, the use of certain derogatory epithets for African-Americans, Jews, and East Asians increased by up to 500 per cent on the platform, once news broke of Elon Musk taking over Twitter and firing most of its executive command, including CEO Parag Agarwal . The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a research group based out of Princeton, that analyzes social media content to predict emerging threats, said that the use of the N-word on Twitter increased by nearly 500 per cent in the 12 hours immediately after Musk’s deal was

Apple pays Russia a fine of $13.7 million, imposed for abusing its dominant position on the App Store

-
Apple has settled a Russian fine of 1.2 billion roubles ($13.65 million), according to Russia’s FAS antitrust agency. The fine was imposed due to allegations of Apple abusing its dominant market position in relation to in-app payments, as per a report by Reuters. Apple had previously expressed a “respectful disagreement” with the FAS ruling, contending that the distribution of apps through its iOS operating system did not unfairly favour its products. Russia’s anti-monopoly watchdog, FAS, announced on Monday that it received the payment following a November ruling. The ruling found Apple guilty of preventing app developers from informing customers that they could make purchases outside of the App Store. The payment will contribute directly to the Russian budget, supporting the government’s financial needs amid increased defense spending related to the conflict in Ukraine. This dispute between Apple and Russia’s competition regulator predates the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022
