The difference between how Google acquires companies and Yahoo has under Mayer is that Google focuses on Acquihires, bringing each of their hired companies teams on board and integrating them into the culture, etc.
Yahoo seems to be going willy nilly with their acquisitions, even admitting that some of the companies they acquired cough Summly cough were not acquihires but rather for other reasons.
This seems like a waste of money and time to me, and the only people to win are the founders of the acquired companies.
