The numbers are just mind-boggling.

FB paid $25 per user. According to Asymco [1] Google makes just $1.70 per android device/year. Are we seeing another bubble coming up? Of course one acquisition does not make a bubble... but what do you think?

Agree, $25 per user is insane. Not sure if this is necessarily part of a bubble or the result of some shady dealing for the VC's involved to pick up more Facebook stock to make their portfolio's look like winners.
