Google Venture Capital: The Challenges

I have to wonder weather Google is investing for strictly financial returns like most VCs or looking to gain access to certain developing technologies. If I were to guess, I'd have to say the latter. Obviously Google knows that a few small investments won't move the needle, but if you integrate these technologies into a larger net like Google's you could generate tremendous. As BayAreaGoogleGuy said above, google has not seen much success in acquisitions...we'll have to see if anything comes out of this new venture...
