What I still don't get is why Google thinks they're good at moonshots, or why they're a good idea in the first place. Google is great at tons of stuff, but all this rhetoric about moonshots seems really empty and baseless.

So, either moonshots (probably a lot of them and god forbid one turns into a money printer too) or pay the dividend like IBM.
