In March 2007, in partnership with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI),
Google hosted the first Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival at its headquarters in Mountain View.
One of its first projects was to develop a viable
plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that can attain 100 miles per gallon. Google continued to monetize and profit from
sites propagating climate disinformation even after the company
updated their policy to prohibit placing their ads on similar sites.
The company also actively funds and profits from climate disinformation by monetizing ad spaces on most of the largest climate disinformation sites.
Google donates to climate change denial political groups including
the State Policy Network and the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
It also stated that it is committed to operating its data centers and offices using only carbon-free energy by 2030.
After the success of its original service, Google Search (often known simply as "Google"), the company has rapidly grown to offer a multitude of
products and services. You can also control what data is saved in your account with easy on/off controls,
and even delete your data by date, product, and topic. Your Google
Account helps you save time by automatically filling in passwords, addresses, and payment details using
the information you’ve saved to your account.
Terry Semel, Yahoo's then-CEO, offered $3 billion to purchase the company,
but Page and Brin reportedly held firm on a $5 billion valuation. Both firms were initially hesitant about investing jointly
in Google, as each wanted to retain a larger percentage of control over the company to themselves.
Page and Brin initially approached David Cheriton for advice because he had a nearby office in Stanford, and
they knew he had startup experience, having recently sold the company he co-founded, Granite Systems,
to Cisco for $220 million. This initial investment served as a motivation to incorporate
the company to be able to use the funds. Héctor García-Molina and Jeffrey Ullman were also cited as contributors to the project.
