World Class: Product of the Year

Google

A fast chip. A slick wireless gateway. A potent spyware zapper. An indispensable search engine. Four outstanding finalists competed to become our 2002 Product of the Year. And the winner--may we have the envelope, please?--is Google. The leading search engine keeps getting more accurate and versatile while retaining its clean, efficient look; as Contributing Editor Stephen Manes says, "It's gotten to the point where you don't even think twice about typing a company's name into Google rather than the address bar, and when you need a quick answer, you Google." Small wonder, then, that many of our editor-judges call on it three, four, or more times a day.
