Contest Directions:  [ Google's stock price surpassed $500 for the first time on Tuesday, earning Google another milestone in global domination. ]
My, my, how times change. In the 90s anyone who knew what Google is was considered a geek. Now, anyone who knows search engines other than Google is considered a geek. In the 90s AltaVista was a king of search engines. Now, if you ask people what AltaVista is, they'll tell you it's what Schwarzenegger likes to say before he blows up some badass in his movies.
With the amount of money Google has, their "do no evil" motto slowly turns into "root of all evil."
Google is everywhere. Soon enough, when you ask your local policeman for directions to a restaurant, he'll tell you to "google for it".
It's only a matter of time before Google owns everything.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop what changes we'll see when Google rules the world - e.g. when Google buys other companies, products, buildings, cities, countries, and planets.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | On Tuesday, the stock of Google Inc. rose past the $500 mark for the first time. The recent surge in the price of Google stock was driven by the high expectations Wall Street has for the company. Google's shares on Tuesday rose $14.60 or almost 3% and closed at $509.65 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The company, which is based in Mountain View, is now Silicon Valley's second most valuable business, ahead of Intel and Hewlett Packard. The market value of Google is now at about $163 billion. The founders of the company are now both multibillionaires, at the ripe old age of 33. Hundreds of employees at Google are millionaires because so many of them hold stocks of the company. Google's shares went from the $400 to the $500 mark in a bit over a year. The company made its initial stock offering in August of 2004 at $85 a share. The shares went over $100 on their first day of trading at that time. Within three months, the shares were over $200 and went above $300 in about seven more months. |
