Could they be getting the money together to finance all these rumors we keep reading about?"
Google has announced plans to buy NASA from the United States government. In a press release sent out this morning by Nathan Tyler, Google indicated the need for better, more direct access to the data it manages.
In a brief interview this afternoon, Tyler had this to say:
"I mean, after Maps [maps.google.com] and Earth [Google Earth], it was pretty blatant where we were going. Everyone on campus was asking, 'When are we buying NASA?'. The NASA acquisition will offer us access to a variety of communications avenues that would have cost a fortune to contract. Also, it's imperative for our upcoming Google Earth Live... but I've said too much."

We are going to conquer a country. That 200 billion dollar in cash for arms and infantry doesn't just pay for itself you know. We expect to need 40.000 troops to take Syria, and 200 troops to completely overwhelm the Dutch army.

Absolutely! Don't get stuck in the bubble when it pops.
Although you should probably use Google to determine which hills and Google maps to see how the hills look before you head out there.

In unrelated news, Savantissimo is issuing 14 million shares in his holding company, which has a diversified portfolio of obsolete computer equipment, stale nachos, tatty SF books as well as a marginally serviceable toothbrush. Liabilities disclosed in the filing include one lazy know-it-all Gen-Xer. Offering price will be $285 per share.
Savantissimo Holdings International Tippling said it intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general slacker purposes, including non-working capital, capital dissipation and possible acquisitions of small guacamole-producing nations or possibly cool stuff.
The company, however, said it has no current agreements or commitments to any material acquisitions. Pending acquisitions, SHI Tippling plans to invest the proceeds in highly liquid, ingestion-grade beverages, according to the SEC document.
