A typo worth $ 160 billion

Stanford University student Sean Anderson (Sean Anderson) was the same guy who gave Larry Page the name for his search engine and company:

“Sean and Larry sat in the office and tried to think of a suitable name - something related to indexing a large amount of data. Sean out loud suggested the word " googolplex ", and Lari responded with a shortened form of " googol ". Sean was sitting at the terminal, so he immediately went to the database of Internet domains to check whether the name was taken. Sean was not very friendly with spelling, so he was looking for the google.com domain, which was free. ”

Where does Sean work now? In Microsoft. =)
