Google tweaked its logo to feature a microchip with the Google branding. Noyce co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel in 1968. I think he should get a birthday tribute from one of Silicon Valley’s most powerful technology companies.
Google estimates it has created more than 1000 doodles since 1998 and they will still continue to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous personalities like Louis Daguerre.
