Its true the money should always prevail as partners want it. Google doesnt really do it properly but im really sceptical about the Altavista/Fast acquisitions as those things rarely come off and usually end up being a mammoth waste of money.

Look at past acquisitions of this nature and see how they worked out - mostly its been cash burn.
