Wait do you really think Google is referencing Goggles and not Googolplex?


Google Glass should have been made as Goggles, design-wise it would have been a smashing success if they dared to do it.

edit: they had that mobile app called that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Goggles


Yeah they try to rewrite history i think, but if you look at the old logo the G looks like Goggles, it's also more logic to call your search-engine goggle, and not a number, but anything is better then BackRub.


Googol 10^100 not Googolplex 10^(10^100).

Googol or goggles, it's still just a typo someone decided to keep in mind for a name.
