Google has just turned 10 years old and it simply amazing to have a look back and see what they have achieved from certain acquisitions.

Acquisitions listed range from Deja.com to Android to Adsense. Some products I thought were actually made internally by Google, but to my surprise they just came from acquisitions then built up features around the core code.
