Aww. please, stop that. That is childish nonsense. We need Linus to come out and state that "Google-hatred is a disease" as well, this crap is starting to come up more and more and it makes no sense at all. It makes as much sense as bashing Ubuntu since "they don't contribute to the kernel enough". Amazingly stupid **** bashing companies that are, in fact, using Linux and even doing their bit to offer software/services to Linux users -- even if it is not according to the same schedule as Windows support or not quite the way you'd like it to be done.

Google has plenty of interest in making things work in Linux. They have a big interest in making all their services run on pretty much any platform.Google has contributed to plenty of Linux projects that are of interest to them. Look up their contributions to Wine (please, use Bing or Yahoo for that if google offends you...). Yes, you probably don't like wine since it's "not native Linux", but plenty of us other desktop Linux users are very fond of it. Google contributes to a lot of other Linux projects too through their summer of code, and people who work for Google do, in fact, contribute to kernel work too. I'm sure GoogleTalk video will eventually work on Linux, as well.

And while I'm marveling at your silly post, let me go on a bit: Android-hatred amazes me too. Yes, it's java on top of a Linux kernel or something or other. So what? Where's the crime in that? More importantly, what hell does Gtalk video not running on Nokia tablets have to do with that? These are the forums for a Nokia device...with these oooh-so-marvellous "open source tablets" (yeah right), what do we get as our main software for our "digital lives"? A closed source piece-of-**** email program. Seriously, cut down on the Google-hatred and accept that in the real world, open and closed source DO need to live together to create nice products (not to mention jobs and money for people to pay for that stuff, but I ramble...).

Now, go apologize to Google and tell Mr. Stallman that you can't play with him anymore.
