I think this is a key problem for google. I am not sure there are many who believe that the Google R&D/moonshots are actually going to turn into businesses or executed products for Google sold by Google. Their "heart" never seems to be in any of the other areas that they entertain, even at huge amounts of funding (like GCE) they seem to still be hobbies. In contrast, I doubt there is any shareholder that would not believe that if Apple's r&d stumbles on something they wouldn't be able to execute on product and turn it into a $xx billion segment.
