The Google boys

Sergey Brin and Larry Page in their own words
If you want to find something on the World Wide Web, you "Google" it. With its one million servers located around the world, the company handles over a billion search requests daily. But when the Internet first came online, people struggled to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information. Some kind of search engine was needed. Enter two computer science graduate students from Stanford, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and the $229 billion behemoth we now know as Google was born. They are highly respected, established figures in the tech industry, but Page and Brin, unlike industry icons such as Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, have spent as little time as possible in front of the media. As a result, when Larry Page and Sergey Brin give time to speak, people listen. Carefully.

You are not forgotten

On the morning of January 20, 1944, Major Marion "Ryan" McCown Jr., a Marine Corps pilot, took off on a dangerous mission against the Japanese stronghold at Rabaul. His plane went down that day and was lost in the dense jungle of Papua New Guinea.
