So HTML 5 is huge, open source is huge.  Its all about the browser and UI.  Mobile is huge.  Google's business model is simple, and we para-phrase here---- grow and improve the web, Google wins. More web users = more cash for Google.  CEO, Eric Schmidt reminded the room that "power brings simplicity and scalability".  Surprise guests from Palm, Mozilla and Lego confirmed the "open sourceness" of Google IO2009.
