The Patriach of the Web, Tim Berners-Lee joined an exclusive list of people to win a genius award. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation awarded him 270,000$US, of which he can spend on he pleases. The award was given in part for "a revolutionary communications system requiring minimal technical understanding." Pretty cool, and recognition (and cash!) for a guy who deserves it.
