While I feel strongly about the things I do, I hope that the spirit of this post has come across as: "Ok, here are a few points of contention. Let's discuss them and figure out what they mean within the context of the overall larger goal, openness." Thanks, Raza.

I actually read Techcrunch's post on this issue before I read yours. But your post is an in-depth analysis of what Erick was saying. In particular, comparing Google's reluctance to open source its search and advertising algorithms to Microsoft's strategy was spot-on. I personally believe that Jonathan Rosenberg's blog post was perfectly crafted so that it highlights how open Google is and at the same time debunk Apple.
