One dude, Matt Veenstra, thinks all that Google stock sell off was in order to get some muns to buy out Skype. Certainly, this latest action by Google was akin to me heading off to the bank for some cold hard cash before a major spending spree, so I'll only be surprised if I don't see Google making some acquisitions soon.. but Skype?
Google likes to create in-house, but they also know when to buy. The Picasso Image browser and Prya - Blogger.com - are some good examples of technology purchases they have made. It is not out of the question for Google to buy technology.
True enough, but you didn't see Google developing an image organizing product in-house before it bought Picasa. You also didn't see Google release it's own new blogging service months before it bought Blogger. We did just see Google release it's own Instant Messaging and VoIP offering Google Talk.. but there is a first for everything. I guess only time will tell.
