Here are my favorite tech facts that might be interesting to you.

1. Do you know Google was named so accidentally?

Well it was originally supposed to be named Googol and not Google.

The founders searched for Googol to see if the domain was available, but they searched Google instead. The founders loved the name Google more than Googol, so they used Google.
