Why is Google so Dam Greedy

Jaiku announced today that they will be joining the Google forces, great another company drinking the Google kool-aid. Is there some kind of strategy behind all these acquisitions or do they buy up everything purely to make the stock holders happy, (if I could afford it I would be all over Google Stock right now). They are trading above $600.00 mark now, incredible.
I did a search for a list of Google acquired companies, and they all point to William (Bill) Slawski’s (SEO by the SEA) site. It appears that Bill has been following Google acquisitions for awhile now, Thanks Bill for keeping this archive.
Look so far I know this post is coming off like a rant, I don’t want it to be but it’s getting to a point to where all the products I used are owned by Google, Urchin, FeedBurner, Grand Central (check out Grand Central they rock!), and I guess I could add YouTube great site to wast some time. I mean G-Wiz Google pump the brakes just a little, let the competition catch up, allow the other engines to gain some market share. Bottom line people enjoy a good fight, not a slaughter.
