Happy Birthday Google: Anniversary Doodles [PICS]

Google, the world's biggest Internet company, celebrated its 14th birthday Thursday.

Google's birth date is the subject of some controversy. According to some accounts, the company was created on Sept. 4; but in the last couple of years, Google itself has been celebrating its birthday on Sept. 27, which lands on a Thursday this year.

Since 2002, Google has been celebrating with special birthday doodles. Today's doodle is an obvious one: an animated cake with 14 candles for you to "blow" out.
