When the Google people tried to get the rights to the url, they pissed him off, and he told them the same thing Dick Cheney said on the Senate floor to Pat Leahy. Google had no choice but to start their business with a misspelled name. I have a friend who owns the url googol.com, which of course is the correct spelling.

I remember I can only saw one of them in my college's computer science department's AI lab in late 80's. After I learn their fate in 90s, that was the first lesson in my life about this business -- Cool technology doesn't mean money making. Well, I refreshed the lesson last year :-) Symbolics was very famous in 80s for people who tried to make a computer purely written in LISP.
