Sergey Brin Talks About Chrome For Macs and Google Books
Way back when, most of you said that you were planning on downloading Google Chrome when it came out. PC users — did you download it? And what do you think?
Vintage Google: Cofounder Sergey Brin on To Tell the Truth
It seems unbelievable to me that people wouldn't recognize Google cofounder Sergey Brin immediately, but there was a time — specifically 2001— when that was the case, due to the relative novelty of the search engine. Not only was that the case, but that was the game! Yes, Sergey was the subject of the game show To Tell the Truth, trying to fool the celebrity contestants out of guessing that he's the real Sergey.
Sergey Brin's Wife Shows Off Baby Bump and Talks About Her Invention of the Year
I was just in the midst of catching up on my daily dose of Oprah on Friday, when who should appear on her Friday Live! episode, but Anne Wojcicki, the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Alongside her 23andMe co-founder Linda Avey, Wojcicki talked about her Retail DNA Test Kit, which was named Time's 2008 Invention of the Year.
Sergey Brin Spotted in His Shiny New Tesla
Can you guess the perfect man who not only knows how to make a good cherry mojito, but is also the proud new owner of a red Tesla Roadster? That would be Google co-founder Sergey Brin. My friend was out on Sunday and happened to catch Brin cruising around San Francisco's Marina district in his 100 percent electric car, and snapped this pic.
Martha Teaches Larry and Sergey to Make Mojitos!
While you could Google a great recipe for cherry mojito, you know they'd be nothing compared to one Martha helped you make.
Martha blogged about her recent trip to San Francisco to take part in the Google National Sales Conference, and the highlight is her demonstrating how to make a cherry mojito for the Googlin' golden boys themselves, Sergey Brin (the winner, BTW of the space-date challenge) and Larry Page.
Martha says she thought Sergey "would be the best cherry pitter" (Ed.
Which Google Mogul Would You Rather Go to Space With?
Well, he has already beat Lance Bass in my book: Google cofounder Sergey Brin has put up $5 million to reserve a seat to space! I guess if I was worth about $18 billion dollars, I'd make my way to space eventually, too (after Fiji, all of Europe, Antarctica, you know).
Being a long-time Sergey-lover, I'm more concerned with who will be sitting in the seat next to him (all relationships notwithstanding) because between him and his other Googler, Larry Page, I'd pick Sergey every time.
Tech Moguls Top 'The Vanity Fair 100' List
Vanity Fair has put Rupert Murdoch, Steve Jobs and the Google twins at the very top of their 100 List for 2007, proving once again that geek is chic and powerful.
Printed in the October edition of Vanity Fair (you know the one with Nicole Kidman looking like an elegant, but saucy sailor on the cover?) the Top 100 List praises the four for their successes in the past year, notably Murdoch's acquisition of the The Wall Street Journal, Jobs's release of the iPhone and the Google twins' ever growing company. read more

What's the Greatest Moment in Web History?
PC World recently published an entertaining and thoughtful piece on the 16 Greatest Moments in Web History. It includes The Drudge Report breaking the Monica Lewinsky story, the introduction of webcams, MySpace and even my favorite, Craigslist. Rounding out the top three items on the list are: "When Sergey met Larry," in reference to Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page's first meeting at Stanford University; "Day one of irrational exuberance," in reference to the day Netscape's IPO created the dot-com frenzy — in 1995 the company's shares zoomed from $28 to $75 before settling back down to $58 at the session's close; And of course, "World wide wonder," in reference to December 25, 1990, or the day the Web came online.
