"Google has hired Internet pioneer Vinton Cerf to float more ideas and develop new products, adding another weapon to the online search engine leader's rapidly growing arsenal of intellect," reports AP.
"Cerf will remain chairman of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the oversight agency for Internet domain names. He also will continue as a visiting scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he has been focusing on a very Google-like project — trying to figure out a way to connect the Internet to outer space."
Comment: Vint's site, Cerf's Up, is always worth a read. (Presumably it will move from his previous employer, MCI.)
I did a big interview with Cerf for Online, here, published on November 9, 2000. He's a hero.
