How much do I love Google? Let me count the ways.

1. We can learn about whatever we want, whenever we want.

2. It's free.

3. It's run by some young idealistic guys who make idealistic decisions that actually work, and work astoundingly well, in the real world.

4. It's a socially and environmentally responsible company. For example: Google staff who buy a hybrid vehicle are reimbursed $5,000 by the company. Google serves organic food in its cafeterias, and furnishes its offices with recycled materials. And, in one of the biggest solar projects of an U.S. company, Google recently announced plans to convert 6 of its San Francisco buildings to run on up to 30% solar power.

5. I love those cute and clever illustrations posted on the logo during holidays and on noteworthy (per Google) days.

6. Who else can boast that their company name has become a frequently used verb?!

Doesn't Microsoft love Google too? They should. Half the world buys Windows computers so they can use Google.
