Basically an advertisement for their services, but since they're shitting on Google's ad revenue model I'm all for it.

I will not shit on Google completely myself though, because I do appreciate (other than a few naughty shenanigans they've pulled recently) their work on the Android kernel.

Completely self serving though. Mobile is a personal data goldmine and Google gotta dig into that one way or another and if folks can contribute to that side with bug fixes, great.
