> We’ve come full circle: Google positions itself as the champion of “open web” (because it’s good for its own business), promotes HTML5 (because it’s *the* vehicle to get there) but comes across a formidable competitor in Apple and finds itself at a disadvantage.

Exposing Google’s hypocrisy on a regular basis. Amazing that the mainstream tech press never seems to point these things out when it comes to Google.
Anyone who tries to pass off Adobe’s Flash as the open, standards-based choice loses all credibility, as far as I’m concerned.
“Don’t be evil, as long as it’s profitable,” indeed.
