While I can understand the 'open' point, I'm not buying anything else that's quoted there...

Of course, this swiftly raises the thorny issue of why the company isn't more open with its search algorithm. "Our goal is to keep the internet coming back to us, which promotes our productsand keeps users and developers from from going to anyone else," claims Rosenberg.
"In many cases, most notably our search and ads products, opening up the code would not contribute to these goals and would actually hurt our feeling. Not to mention our profits," he concludes.

"It’s the biggest pile of [LIFTED] I’ve ever seen from Google.

Basically, he’s spewed 4,000 words to say that “open” is always good and always wins, Google is always open, therefore Google is always good and will always win. And please don’t worry your pretty little minds about things like Google’s search or ad algorithms or the specific details of how its data centers work, all of which things Google could not possibly be more secretive about. Because if you think about these things, you’ll see that Google isn’t open at all about certain financially lucrative areas where it has built huge technical advantages over its competitors, and that’s not possible, because Google is always open."
