...world's Internet population speaks a language other than English), and it will form more global partnerships with content providers. Here are some things Google watchers speculate it is pursuing: new ways to search for (and perhaps buy) music, an online payment service to rival PayPal, some sort of smart phone, a space elevator to transport stuff to the moon. (Don't laugh. Brin and Page can't seem to let go of that last one, at least as an idea to kick around.) To help accomplish its goals, whatever they may be, Google raised $4.2 billion late last year...
...Brits routinely mistake mediocrity for greatness. Here's the thing, though: this time there's no mistake. Whatever People Say I Am, due out in the U.S. on Feb. 21, isn't perfect, but it's a great rock album that spotlights a new lyricist who is whip smart, funny and appealingly dangerous.

And no reality host is more dryly funny than Tim Gunn, the designers' mentor, whose derision for a badly made outfit cuts like a well-honed pair of shears...
WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A tasteless dating show--a squad of socially challenged nerds paired with intellectually challenged hotties--became TV's most sweet-hearted reality series. In the platonic pairings, the guys teach book smarts and the women teach their partners social skills while competing for a $250,000 purse. (A version with smart chicks and beefcake studs is in the works.) Both groups build confidence and learn what they have in common. It's a rare series that, by playing to stereotypes, ends up disproving them...
