    I love Sesame Street, and I love Google. Thank you, Google, for honoring such an amazing children's program!

    Except Sesame Street (in most cases) has more relevance than the internet...

    On the 10th, my 3 y.o. son Nicolas and I will sing Happy Birthday to the Sesame Street gang. All those characters are like family to us.

    I want to see the Wallace and Gromit one that the UK has.

    This indeed brings the nostalgia to a lot of people world wide, not sure if kids nowadays would appreciate the good ole sesame street gang if they are always tune to Youtube or facebook playing mafia wars. =)

    What would our Mashable's Scotsman, Peter Cashmore, say? Today Google UK is also celebrating Wallace and Grommit's 20th Anniversary with a doodle: http://www.google.co.uk/. Also check out http://happybirthday.wallaceandgromit.com/splash/

    Thanks for the post. I learned how to speak Spanish on Sesame Street. And I'm a native Spanish speaker LOL. I just hope KFC doesn't try to commemorate the anniversary.

    In the Indian version of Google today, I can see Cookie Monster eating a cookie shaped like the word 'Google', with his eyes for the two 'o's. Looks pretty cool!

    DO NOT CLICK ON THE GOOGLE SESAME STREET IMAGE!
    Doing so will open up your computer to the risks of a well-known vulnerability. The virus distributes itself on the WiFi sub-carrier present in all 10 Megabit and up WiFi connections. The sub-carrier is used for ROM and register debugging purposes only, and otherwise serves no other purpose. The virus sets a bit pattern in one of the internal WiFi registers, but it seemed to screw up the other registers on my Netgear. A WiFi router that has been "infected" with this virus will then transmit the virus to other routers that use a subcarrier (I suppose those who use 1 Megabit WiFi connections should be immune). The virus then attaches itself to all binary incoming data and infects the host computer's hard disk. The only way to get rid of this virus is to completely reset all the WiFi registers by hand, but I haven't found a way to vaccinate a router against the virus, but there is the possibility of building a subcarrier filter. I am connected via 1 Megabit WiFi connection to enter this message, and have advised all internet users to do the same. I don't know how this virus originated, but I'm sure it is the work of someone in the computer telecommunications field such as myself. Probably the best thing to do now is to stick to 1 Megabit WiFi until we figure this thing out.
