Your argument is frankly silly. We could extend that same argument to the videogame industry where there are plenty of videogame publishers in an identical situation who, fairly obviously, care about little more than money.
You're probably thinking of 'e.g.' E.g. is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase exempli gratia which translates to "for the sake of the example", or "for example."
"Also keep in mind that cash is...umm... cash, regardless of how one (legally) aquired it."
And I certainly wouldn't claim otherwise. My intention was simply to expand upon the information you presented so as to provide a more direct answer to kestasjk. Nothing personal.
Keep in mind, though, that the cash was likely raised during their public stock offerings. Therefore Google's inflated stock price does play a role in their continued ability to acquire companies.
