I think where they have done things that benefit open source then it is
mostly coincidental. I guess they did Android because otherwise Apple
etc. would have eventually frozen them out of mobile search. Gradually
close-sourcing the Android apps doesn't look too good to me.

Google do a good job but it would be nice to have someone competing
with them at the same level.
