Sergey Brin had admitted that it was "probably a mistake" that he ever worked on Google+ because, in his own words, he's "not a very social person" and "kind of a weirdo."
Hey, sweetheart, nice iPhone. Nice Android, too. It matches your Hello Kitty mug and bra. In fact, it's downright "emasculating," according to Google co-founder and Professional Computer Face Sergey Brin. So, stop throwing your manliness away.
Mark Zuckerberg should fill out one of the claim association forms from the California State Comptroller's office. Turns out, he has an unclaimed paycheck from 2004 from PayPal to the tune of $308.62, BetaBeat reports.
Noah Zerkin spotted Sergey Brin riding New York's downtown 3 train last night—and the man from Google happened to have a pair of the company's glasses strapped to his face.

Would you be able to guess the real Sergey Brin, just two years after the company was founded? Game show To Tell the Truth's celebrity panel had some trouble, though kudos to the lady-in-red for her comedy routine. [The Guardian]

Microsoft bought Skype for $8.5 billion, presumably beating out both Google and Facebook. But it turns out, Google didn't want Skype. Not at all, in fact. They even went so far as to sabotage themselves from a potential deal.
Way back in December of 1999, Google was able to fit all its employees into one room for their weekly "TGIF" meetings, hosted by Page and Brin. Watch as employees clad in jumpers that'll make our own Sam Biddle weak at the knees celebrate an office birthday, and get out the silly string.
Strippers are people too! And just like people, some of them are batshit crazy. Take Vera Svechina, a stripper who recently followed a blind Google employee into Google headquarters to leave a Russian book and "non-threatening" note for co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. A little weird, no? Turns out, Svechina…
In a wholly unexpected move, Eric Schmidt is stepping away from his position as Google CEO to make room for co-founder Larry Page. Schmidt will move into an Executive Chairman role. But why? And what does it mean for you?

There were some huge movements in this year's Forbes Most Powerful People, with the Google guys Larry Page and Sergey Brin dropping from their joint-fifth spot last year, to 22nd and 23rd respectively. Steve Jobs climbed from 57 to 17.

We've all seen the trailer for The Social Network (MARK!), but Zuckerberg's not the only rich nerd being played in a movie by someone more attractive than he really is: a Google movie is in the works.
