    How do you know that the purchase price does not cover the VC investment? Perhaps it does. Hell, maybe they made a killing for all you know. I doubt in this economy anyone would sell at a loss. Things are not that screwed up.

    And it's always good to see Google "innovating" by buying out startups.
