Google makes about $1.5B profit per quarter. $20M of charity? I don't like MS any more than most, but Gates Foundation has received $20B from Bill and Warren over the past 3 years. My hat goes off to those guys!
Just to put this in the right context you might want to read http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/21/google-2009-holiday-gift/ ie, this is not a charity donation from "Google", but from one part of Google on behalf of their customers/suppliers. Either way, I think we're a little off topic by this stage... Scott.
