    Curry gives Marissa Mayer a headache

    Celebrity profile pages, on social network sites such as Orkut, have two great advantages over the newspaper profile. The personal trivia is even more trivial; and there's no need to wade through boilerplate quotes to get to the anecdotes. So it is with Marissa Mayer's page on Orkut. (There's a screenshot after the jump.) We learn that the Google product exec, ex-girlfriend of Larry Page, likes all food but curry, which gives her a headache; that she does indeed, despite one of the most mechanical laughs in Googledom, have a sense of humor, which she describes as "dry/sarcastic"; and that she makes no effort to make her musical taste seem interesting. For a glimpse of the Google-powered future, take a look at Mayer's favorite movies: among them, Minority Report, the movie which stars personalized video billboards beckoning Tom Cruise as he walks through a mall.
