    How companies got their names part 2

    Google:

    Google was originally named 'Googol'.
    After founders (Stanford graduates) Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor...they received a cheque made out to 'Google' !...
    So they kept name as GOOGLE

    Founders : Larry Page and Sergey Brin

    NOT A COMPANY:

    Dennis Ritchie improved on the B programming language and called it 'New B'.
    B was created by Ken Thompson as a revision of the Bon programming language (named after his wife Bonnie) He later called it C.

    creators : Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie
