As with many web design agencies, at Pebble we work a lot with Google on a daily basis and we thought we would share some fun facts about the search giant.

You would have heard of some of the companies it has acquired like AdMob, reCAPTCHA, SocialGrapple, Waze and HTC
3. Larry and Sergey's private planes have runways in NASA, where no other planes are allowed to land
