  Sergey Brin - Valleywag
As new husband Sergey Brin stands watch, 23andMe's Anne Wojcicki, recently married to the Google cofounder, shows photos from her recent wedding to home-style guru Martha Stewart, at this weekend's Science Foo Camp nerdfest.
Brin resisted the temptations of models and airheads: even though, shockingly, girlfriend Anne Wojcicki was older than he; even after the Russian-born computer engineer, as the world's most eligible billionaire bachelor, became a magnet for gold-diggers; and even though tycoons are expected to abuse their status.
Sergey Brin's known for his taste for capes and, on occasion, drag.

 Google cofounder Sergey Brin comes to class at Berkeley
Brin said Google complied with the laws of the countries in which it operates, including laws in the United States and Germany that the company "does not necessarily support." He denied that Google was censoring information in China, maintaining that the government and not Google was responsible for blocking information through the use of firewalls.
Brin tantalized with several indirect responses, noting that computers today are relatively cheap – several hundred dollars buys a machine good for several years of use – but the cost of Internet access remains significant, eventually exceeding the cost of the hardware.
While applauding these efforts, Brin said he believed that they would be even more successful, but for the fact that those behind the efforts usually "are embarrassed to make a profit." Brin said a modest profit would generate revenue that could provide a multiplier effect, allowing growth, the creation of jobs, and perhaps innovation.

Brin's frustration in getting an audience with some lawmakers "looks like a combination of policymakers already choosing sides in a battle between industries and one of the industries not knowing how to maneuver around the Washington lobbying system to get its voice heard," said Gene Kimmelman, Washington policy director for Consumers Union.
