That said, a reader swears that prominent Google VP Marissa Mayer and co-founder Sergey Brin are dating, and have been for at least six months.

While such a corporate pairing would be juicy, it's most definitely bull -- Sergey was spotted with girlfriend and Googler Anne Wojcicki at Burning Man in August.

Valleywag broke the news (sure, "everyone who's anyone" knew it but real people didn't) this February that Mayer's old boyfriend was Google's other cofounder, the nerdier and supposedly less handsome Larry Page. At one point, Mayer allegedly dragged Larry in front of Google staff and made him announce that they were a couple.

Hope you find that leaker, Google.

Update: Someone called Sergey, from a credible email address, writes in: This is not true for me and Marissa.
