Larry Page was considering Stanford for grad school and Sergey Brin, a student there, was assigned to show him around. By some accounts, they disagreed about nearly everything during that first meeting, but by the following year they struck a partnership. Working from their dorm rooms, they built a search engine that used links to determine the importance of individual pages on the World Wide Web. They called this search engine Backrub. Soon after, Backrub was renamed Google (phew). The name was a play on the mathematical expression for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros and aptly reflected Larry and Sergey's mission “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Over the next few years, Google caught the attention of not only the academic community, but Silicon Valley investors as well. In August 1998, Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote Larry and Sergey a check for $100,000, and Google Inc. was officially born. With this investment, the newly incorporated team made the upgrade from the dorms to their first office: a garage in suburban Menlo Park, California, ow...

To help protect you from abuse, we sometimes ask you to prove you’re not a robot before you can create or sign in to your account. This extra confirmation by phone helps keep spammers to abuse our systems. Tip: To verify your account, you need a mobile device.

Google Search now allows users granular controls for deleting search history. Depending on the app or interface you use, you should be able to relatively easily drop in and delete all history from your searches in tiny increments. The latest simple update to the iOS Google app – the Google Search app, that is – allows a user to "Delete last 15 min" with 2 taps. If you're using the iOS version of the official Google app (what you might know as the Google Search app), tap your user icon in the upper right, then tap the "Delete last 15 min" button. If you do not see this button, chances are you do not yet have the most recent update to this app. Head to the app store and download the latest update, and said button should be in play. SEE TOO: If you're using the Android version of the Google Search app, you'll need to wait until Google updates the app with said button. Yes, believe it or not, the iOS version of the app will have this feature well in advance of the Android version of this app. You can, on the other hand, still delete search history in a wide variety of ways from said Android app. In the Google app (aka Google Search app), tap the "More" button in the lower right-hand corner. From there, tap the "Search History" button. In Search History, Google provides an array of options for the handling of and deletion of your search data. There should be a "Delete" button on the right-hand side near the middle of your screen that, upon tapping, opens to options like "Delete...

The United States–Canada border is the longest in the world. It stretches 5,525 miles from Maine to Alaska, traversing land, sea, and untouched wilderness. As such, you might assume this colossal border would be left untouched by humankind, merely an invisible line on a map. But you’d be wrong. Every year, the average American taxpayer pays half of a cent to the International Boundary Commission (IBC) for the sole purpose of deforesting every inch of the U.S.–Canada border. With an annual budget of $1,400,000, the IBC ensures that the boundary will never be just an imaginary line. Known as “the Slash,” this treeless zone is 20 feet wide and covers everything from narrow isolated islands to steep hillsides. Spanning national forests and towering mountains, the vast majority of the Slash is so remote that it will never receive any visitors (aside from a handful of bears), yet it is still painstakingly maintained every six years with grueling hours of exhausting manual labor. The Slash was initially deforested for the sole purpose of, according to the IBC, making sure that the “average person… knows they are on the border.” It all started in the 1800s, when the western land section of the U.S.–Canada border was set at the 49th parallel. The Slash was cut and over 8,000 original border markers were laid down, most of which are still standing along with it to this day. Unfortunately, there was no GPS system at the time, so the border markers were inadvertently placed in a zig-z...

Sometimes, finding the tab or bookmark you’re looking for in Chrome can be tough. Good news: The Chrome address bar on desktop just got an upgrade that can help. Now you can directly search through your Chrome tabs, bookmarks and history right from the address bar. Use @tabs, @bookmarks and @history shortcuts We now have three site search shortcuts directly built into the Chrome address bar, starting with @tabs, @bookmarks and @history. @Tabs comes in handy when you have an explosion of tabs. Try it out by typing in “@tabs” in the address bar, pressing the “search tabs” button and then typing the title to see matching suggestions. Personally, I’m most guilty of having too many tabs when planning travel — like for the upcoming holidays. @Tabs can sift through heaps of tabs about flights, hotels, activities and rental cars to find the right tab. Combined with If you already bookmarked a hotel months ago and now want to check its availability, the @bookmarks shortcut can help. Using @bookmarks helps you find the bookmark you’re looking for among all your folders of bookmarks, right from the address bar. Sometimes while searching, you may need to revisit an old website for hiking trails on your trip that you forgot to bookmark and that is proving hard to find again. That’s not a problem, thanks to @history. This shortcut lets you quickly search through your browsing history right from the address bar, to help you get back to the page you’re seeking.
