Abstract

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- In a meeting at Google in 2004, the discussion turned to an e-mail message the company had received from a fan in South Korea. Sergey Brin, a Google founder, ran the message through an automatic translation service that the company had licensed. The message said Google was a favorite search engine, but the result read: ''The sliced raw fish shoes it wishes. Google green onion thing!'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
