Anyone who walks onto the personal jet of the Google co-founders will need a map, and how kind of the Wall Street Journal to provide one (no subscription needed)! (I labeled it so no one accidentally walks into Larry Page's room when they meant to jump on Sergey Brin's California king-size bed.)

BusinessWeek's hype-killing article on Google's product line has everyone buzzing about the company's product cycle. Guest writer Garry Bibb explains the process — it all starts with a Battlestar Galactica marathon and some Mike's Hard Lemonade.

When the New York Times (and every other media outlet — good job, Buffett's PR firm!) went on and on about Warren Buffett's $31-billion donation to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and how Buffett and Gates are such good pals, it seemed fair to point out other tech mogul buddies like the heads of Apple, Oracle, and Google — and to diagram them in this handy guide.

Yahoo! The Google boys are racing to the altar. This reader saw the "Eric Schmidt gets engaged" post, but she says that the Google CEO isn't the only one — his boss Larry Page won the ring-toss too.

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.

Google Blogoscoped went and did it — the search blog revealed info from the Orkut profiles of major Googlers to the unwashed, uninvited masses.

Time for another roundup of the top dogs in tech, with names in bold for easy skimmin':

As stockholders keep chipping away at Google's billions (the stock hovered around $380 today, down from a January high of $475.11), the head honchos keep shedding shares from their portfolios. CEO Eric Schmidt bit off a $24 million chunk yesterday, just before the price popped up about ten bucks a share. Meanwhile, Larry Page dumped $148 million in stock last month, while stalwart Sergey Brin didn't drop a penny.

Like a mattress store desperate for another sale week, we're holding Christmas in May, thanks to this reader-submitted holiday poem about Larry and Sergey coming to town (On Mayer! On Schmidtty! On Vint Cerf and Blitzen!). Eight witty stanzas after the jump — so click through that mofo.

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.

I assume you've seen today's Dilbert.

Two highlights from Google's Analyst Day (which always goes better than Press Day, natch):

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.

Closer and closer sources confirm the persistent rumor that Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy will bow out. The old softie can't handle the pressure to fire workers — he never did like to lay off staff — according to the San Jose Mercury News. And he'll always have a spot open as chairman.

Matchmakers of the Valley, you have a mission.

Long before he became Google CEO, Eric Schmidt had trouble speaking to large groups. So he took a speaking course — which is on video and now, well, on Google Video.

About this Newsweek cover story — can we all share a moment of glee? Newsweek really gets the new web! Writers Steven Levy and Brad Stone score major points for:

Google co-founder Sergey Brin agreeing with Eric Schmidt about the "immaterial" click fraud problem, on March 2 (Analyst Day):

It's like a party with an open candy store: Forbes published its whopping 793-member billionaire list, with all the maps, photos, and self-congratulatory interviews such an event requires. Above is a map of billionaires in the U.S. (the world is viewable here but why do you care about anything outside the Valley), which shows San Francisco as third behind New York and L.A. That's no good.

So the "Eric's part of the band" spin at Google isn't catching on with every news outlet. WebProNews asks about co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, "When they're playing with Legos, who's running Google? Some speculate it ain't Eric Schmidt."
