google's version of everything is "here, have couple million dollars, do whatever you like". It was the same with mapping the underwater world. Who needs that? How is that supposed to make money? But still google did it just because they could.

Not surprised at all with the news. I guess this is Google's effort to take advantage of our resources to support innovation and encourage promising new technology companies. It seems a great initiative from a business point of view. What is it for the public??

To be honest I don't really care why they do it. If they offered me a mil, or even half that for my startup, I wouldn't hesitate. Sure, potentially I could make more ... but from a different perspective, think of how this $ could help your next startup! Not to mention you'd be driving a nice car while doing it ;)

A seed round is super critical to a startup. Your first million may seem like the most important thing at first but the terms surrounding it will dictate if you are able to get further funding. later stage investors may be turned off by Google's terms. Anyone know if this is true?
Also, no one drives a nice car in a 2009 startup. So don't plan on it.

I am looking for funds for one of my ambitious ideas. Does anyone know how i can get funding from a VC or what's the procedure for the same.

It depends on the startup, to be honest. If it was something that brought me unexpected success, then sure, why not. But if it was my secret project I've spend years working on, and was planning to keep doing that - then no way. Instant $ is always a nice concept, but always think about the long run.
