今天， 9月 27日是谷歌 15岁的生日。其实，关于谷歌的官方生日，科技界众说纷纭。有报道称，组建谷歌公司的文件登记于 1998年 9月 4日，该公司三天后成立，域名于 9月 15日注册。然而，谷歌官方却把生日定在了每年的 9月 27日，并从 2002年开始，在谷歌生日当天在谷歌首页上发布一个 Google Doodle来庆生。
今年， Google首页如期换了一个新的生日 Doodle，蛋糕上面标有 15字样的蜡烛。此次 Doodle是一个敲糖果的小游戏。这个敲糖果的小游戏英文名叫 pinata，来源于西班牙语的 piñ ata。在谷歌首页的这个游戏中，通过操作空格键来把小木棍敲向装有糖果的小罐子，击中罐子后，糖果即会落地得分。
What's pinata： Pinata is a Spanish word, and if you want to sound like you are in the know at the school gates or at work, it is pronounced Pin-yah-ta. The word is derived from the Spanish verb apinar, meaning to join, or to bind in a bundle. A Pinata is a hand-made papier-mâ ché and cardboard model decorated with brightly coloured tissue paper, designed to be filled with sweets, small toys and treats. Made to be broken, these models are nevertheless fashioned with enormous care and come in all shapes and sizes, from traditionally shaped stars to contemporary footballs.
