* BewareTheNiceOnes: Google seems generally a friendly company (not that they're saints though). However, suing the company for fraudulent reasons ''will'' cause Google to retaliate against you.

** Since Google's search bar automatically kicks you into search results now, the now useless "I'm Feeling Lucky" button redirects to a randomly selected item, chosen when you put your mouse over the button, e.g. "I'm Feeling Trendy" or "Artistic", etc. Only happens if Instant searches are on, though. If you have it off, the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button will work as usual. And when it's off, you can get some pretty funny stuff - try searching "French Military Victories" and hit "I'm feeling lucky."

* TyopOnTheCover: Amusingly enough, the company [[https://www.webcitation.org/68ubHzYs7?url=http://graphics.stanford.edu/~dk/google_name_origin.html got its name this way]]. The founders were brainstorming names when Sean Anderson suggested naming it after the math term for 10[[superscript:100]], and they were pleasantly surprised that "Google" was available as a web domain. It was only after they registered it that they realized the term is actually spelled ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol Googol]]''. Googol.com was already taken, so the misspelled version stuck.
