+ A Quirky Brilliance vs. the Dreams of Venture Capitalists (via The New York Times)
From the article, "There are many good reasons to avoid a public stock offering and the close scrutiny it brings. Indeed, this week the scrutiny will intensify as the company approaches a deadline to file financial disclosures. But in Google's case, its hesitancy up to this point has been a symptom of a long-running battle for control between its two brainy, headstrong founders and the powerful, strong-willed financiers who gave them the money to turn their graduate school project into one of the world's leading brands, according to several people in and outside Google... Attention is being focused this week on Google because Thursday is the deadline for it to file financial disclosure documents under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. It could meet those requirements by filing papers for a public stock offering - what the venture capitalists are said to favor. Or it could simply file the disclosure papers, perhaps along with a statement that it will begin eventually to move toward a public offering. A person close to the company said last week that it would proceed with this slower course."
