I have tremendous respect for what Google has done to the Computer Science community and the Programming community. From MapReduce to BigTable to Gooogle Files Systems to tools like Google Collections and GWT, they have contributed a lot to the community and made many of our lives simpler.

I use GMail exclusively for private communications. It just works. Period.

I love the Android system. It has bolstered my interest in smartphone development. And I think it is a good case study for VM developers and kernel developers.

Then there is Chrome, which is probably my favorite Google product right now.

tl;dr Thank you Google.
