Google boys seriously in love with biotech

What are Sergey Brin and Larry Page really obsessed about? Look no further than their choice in lifemates, says Attila Csordas. Sergey Brin married 23andMe cofounder Anne Wojcicki — and also lent the company $2.6 million, which Google repaid when it invested $3.9 million in the company. Larry Page's fiancée, Lucy Southworth, is close to earning her Ph.D. — a feat neither Page nor Brin has accomplished. Her field of study is biomedical informatics, a field which harnesses high-powered computing for biotech research. Larry and Sergey made their billions on online advertising, a business the pair openly despised when they created the Google search engine. The heart has its own code, and in Larry and Sergey's case, I think it's DNA base pairs.

Double-fisted Eric Schmidt gossip

Two insidery tips about the Google CEO arrived this week. Eric Schmidt's request that photographers hide pictures of him and his wife becomes so much clearer with these details. Tipster 1 says: More »

Help us, Craig: Get geeks laid (again)

It was such a ball last time, so let's do it again — hook up Valley geeks who posted on Craigslist. Whether your reasons are more like geek-lover Maryam Scoble's or geek and geek-lover Tara Hunt's, there's no denying these guys (and, ok, maybe one girl) are hot properties. More »

Schmidt to get hitched to media relations star

A few months ago, we noticed that Google CEO Eric Schmidt had a rosary partner other than his wife Wendy. Well, since then, it's become no secret that Eric and his wife are on the outs, and no one know what happened to his fellow churchgoer. Meanwhile, all eyes have been on Eric's bosses, perpetual bachelors Larry and Sergey. More »

Why the Valley's not getting laid

As the President of the Colonies said in Battlestar Galactica, if the human race is going to survive after the Googlers Cylons attack, we're gonna have to start making babies. So why does all of Silicon Valley have such a hard time getting it on? More »

Guest post: Larry, Mari, Sergey, and Eri make their own Google gossip

Are the public faces of Google all wagging the dog by seeding their own gossip? One reader says the Google soap opera is scripted. But watch where you step in this sticky conspiracy theory — sprinkle some "sic"s and "alleged"s in there. Before the jump, the theorist gives the mounting evidence. After the jump, their theories.

Craig Newmark's girlfriend demands to be outed

One of Craig Newmark's endearing habits is his continual reference to "the girlfriend." But at last night's Wired Rave Awards, Craig Newmark broke form and said "my girlfriend." When I ribbed him about it, he pointed out this recent story from the London Times: More »

MySpace Tom orders half-price ass-by-air, said random Asian girl

Hoo boy. Maybe it's an authentic MySpace Tom story, but something this over-the-top could just be one girl's idea of a star-fucking story. Tom's a widely reported Asian fetishist and a bit of a perv, sure — but flying girls to LA for some action? Is Tom that Hollywood? More »

Larry Page ain't engaged

A reader counters the report that Larry Page (pictured, top) is checking out rings. Looks like he and his Google co-founder Sergey Brin (pictured, bottom) are still holding off on their personal mergers. At this rate, Eric Schmidt (pictured, monkey in the middle) will hook up (again) before his bosses do. More »

Did Sergey Brin get engaged?

A reader sends an update on the Google founder hitch watch. So far, we heard that either Sergey Brin or Larry Page got engaged, but we had no idea which one. Based on this report, either Sergey and Anne are the (alleged) engaged couple, or Larry can't afford a ring yet: More »

Help us, Craig: Getting Silicon Valley laid

I look out at this valley and its people, and I say, "Damn, these people need to get laid." Which is projection, sure. But as a public service, Valleywag picks the cream of the crop from the Valley's tech-industry Craigslist personals. And remember, if it doesn't work out, you can always give us the gossip. More »
