It's all over the papers glowing rectangles. Google is acquiring Motorola. Here are some of the reasons many pundits are citing:

• Get into the hardware business at last
• Get closer to the living room and enterainment devices, the better to compete with Apple.
• Block a mobile partnership path for Microsoft
• Help defend Android against patent lawsuits by inheriting Motorola's patents.
• Show it can spend over $12 billion and not break a sweat.

I shared some of this initial reasoning, but the true secret motivation only now occurred to me. Google gets the StarTAC phone and, more importantly, pagers!!!

Come on yall. Sir Mix-A-Lot ain't no fool.
