    PAGE BRIN...ADVANCE FOR MONDAY DECEMBER 11--Google's co-founders, CEO Larry Page, left, and Chairman Sergey Brin, rest on bean bags at Google's headquarters on Friday, Nov. 11, 2000, in Mountain View, Calif. Google _ which replaced Inktomi as Yahoo's search engine in June _ is one of the few search engines that shuns pay-for-position and pay-for-inclusion. Google executives say those formulas make it more difficult for people to find potentially valuable information, like cancer research, on the Web. ``We have taken a very strong stance that our search results represent our editorial integrity,'' said Google CEO Larry Page.(AP Photo/Randi Lynn Beach)
