I have no axe to grind with Google.

They have helped advanced the cause of Open Source from what I can see. Don't forget that Mozilla Firefox number one funding partner is Google.

I'm sad to see the position recent on Android, but hey its their code, and they can choose to protect whatever they want, as long as they don't violate the GPL or what ever license of code they have based their own work on.

The beauty of Open Platforms is you can always change what you ' like, and hey guess what on the n900 the choice is yours........ have you ever tried to change the search box on Safari now that is hard work.
