    Besides the Google Instant Messenger client rumor, there are quite a few other opportunities that Google might be trying to fund.

    Well there's that Broadband over Power Line rumor. And the massive country-wide Wi-Fi rumor. Also the streamable Google Operating System. Oh and the Google Browser rumor

    And lets not forget Google needs some money to finance their trip to Mars

    Impossible. It's CNET. "Reporters" never worked there in the first place.
