well what do you expect google to show.. a screen with google search opened..? or gmail? or orkut? or youtube? or google earth?... at least they have something to do with FOSS.. whether they are there for hiring..or drumming up for SoC... what would tehelka show except their weekly.., or Novell ..except their half propreitry stuff.. so with other stalls.. while all other stalls used it in their own way.. they were atleast related to FOSS ... while M$ aint.. after all it was LA... not foss.in / freedel / gnunify..
