buying feb calls is stupid. get the march ones, for about 15% more in price. if the stock just sits flat after earnings at least you won't see march calls drop to zero like you will with the febs. in any case, playing options on GOOG right now is insane. the stock has to move 25 points in either direction just to break even on expiry for an in-the-money option, which means you need a move of at least 50 points to break even on a straddle!! that's unheard of in the history of wallstreet. even at the top of the dot.com boom, options were never this expensive.
