Google doesn't need all cash. Partial stock too?

Great find, GBR! You're on a roll after your yesterday's prescient posts!

Re from the article you bring us here:

Unfortunately for Google, Mueller doesn't think the search engine could outbid Apple for InterDigital. Apple has more than $70 billion in the bank compared to just under $40 billion for Google.

For income tax reasons, some shareholders may prefer a deal that is part cash and part Google stock shares. Google surely could beat any apple bid with cash and its own shares, right?
