"Google has a knack of giving the world what it wants, when it wants it, and if the Wall Street Journal is right, Google's next offer to the world will be a massive source of venture capital."

So writes David Manners in his semiconductor blog, Mannerisms.

Reportedly, Bill Maris, a former business partner with Sergey Brin's wife, has been recruited to head up Google's venture capital business.

Apparently, Maris is a neuroscience graduate, worked for the Swedish Wallenberg family interests as an investor in high technology companies, and he founded and sold hosting company Burlee.com.
 
"A new source of tech-savvy cash for high-tech entrepreneurs is exactly what the world needs at this moment in time," writes David Manners.
