Hmmm... so why is google only 10 years old? |
The Domain was registrered a year earlier in 1997, Google was officialy founded as a company a year later on the 7th of september. |
google.com was launched on september 7th. Google Inc. the company behind Google was founded on Sep 27th.

That explains that the Doodle is placed on Sep 27th, however many news sites covered the 10th anniversary on the 7th. Ah well Google says they are celebrating it whenever they want cake :-). |
