By Alexei Oreskovic SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Does Facebook Inc have Google envy? The social networking company's $2 billion acquisition of Oculus VR, a maker of virtual reality goggles, took Wall Street and technology observers by surprise, not least because of the hefty price for a company with no real revenue and untested technology. But Facebook's desire to bet on "the platforms of tomorrow," as Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg described the deal on Tuesday, also marks a broadening of ambition for a company that has until now focused mainly on bolstering its existing service or defending its turf from immediate threats. It's a strategy more often associated with Facebook's arch-rival Google Inc, which has established a track record of making early bets on the next big thing.
