A legendary computer scientist known as Google's chief Internet<br>
evangelist has delivered an unusual talk to Cuban officials in a<br>
sign of warming relations between the U.S. technology giant and<br>
the Cuban government days before President Barack Obama visits<br>
the island. Google Vice President Vint Cerf spoke for more than<br>
an hour to an audience of Communications Ministry officials and<br>
recent computer science graduates on Wednesday at the 2016<br>
International Computer Science Fair, a government-run symposium<br>
on information technology and communications.<br>
