Google acquisition chief Salman Ullah said as much at a Monterey, California, conference of venture capitalists and startups last week.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If you tell us something is black and it turns out it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s white\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwe get very irritated,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said at Red Herring Spring on Thursday. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Because we will find out that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s white during diligence.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
