With billions in cash sitting around, and with passbook savings rates what they are, Google is always looking for ways to put its money to work, and now it's reportedly considering a formal structure to make sure its bucks are performing productively in the service of the company's greater goals. According to the Wall Street Journal, the search sovereign, following in the steps of a growing number of tech companies, is mulling creation of a venture capital arm. The Journal's sources said David Drummond, Google's senior vice president of corporate development and chief legal officer, would head the investment unit, assisted by a new hire, William Maris, a 33-year-old investor and former entrepreneur. Google has generally preferred straight-up acquisition to investing, though it already does an impressive amount of the latter, some through its philanthropic arm, Google.org. This shit couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of billionaires.

So, how much is enough?

Google has done great things before and they need to do something else. Its not greed for more money they are entrepreneurs and they always want a new project especially when the one they have going is sailing along like a jet boat powered by nuclear energy.

By far better than the previous version, seeing an increase of about 20% in the results. Good work.

Very true that they are always looking for the bucks, but with the current amount of litigations for trademark infringements of Google customers, they may need every dime they can get.

I don't know if wanting more is really a bad thing. I think people just get uneasy that Google has so much power already.

Jeg tror, at Google har gjort store ting før, og de skal gøre noget andet.

I think people are just jealous of Google's success. That's about the only reason I can think of that the average person would be against this. When's the last time you donated some of your millions to charity?
