Nathan Myhrvold, erstwhile Microsoft CTO and now patent?powerbroker extraordinare, has hit the news this weekend, but it's not for his latest licensing deal with a mobile phone maker, or for a lawsuit against a tech company (or three) that refuses to pay up for patents that his company, Intellectual Ventures, owns -- but for a different kettle of fish altogether. Myhrvold has won the James Beard Foundation book award for cookbook of the year -- the top prize in one of the industry's most prestigious accolades -- for a book that deep-dives, appropriately enough, into the science and technology of cooking. His book, the self-published?Modernist Cuisine, is a six-volume,?2,438-page effort that he co-wrote with Chris Young and Maxime Bilet (and a 20-person team of cooks), which is selling for $625 (or $455.11 on Amazon).game of thrones game of thrones season 2 wrestlemania 28 dierks bentley kenny chesney blake shelton academy of country music awards
