i assume you've read the recent article by nafeez ahmed from vice, etc, about how google's search algorithms were funded via the NSF/CIA/NSA for 2 years before google ever existed and that sergey reported to someone working for the CIA's ORD for that period.

if you haven't read this, it's a long but great read.

the best thing google ever did was create go (golang). huge props to robert griesemer, rob pike and ken thompson for getting it all going.
