I agree Google is being self serving, but I also believe in this case their interests align with the average internet consumer.

For sure. Google and Apple both play the good for humanity card and both have had some failure and success with aligning their strategies with the people.
My only wish is that we identify the difference between tribe-mentality and logical necessity.

You just simply cannot deny the audacity of Gruber's comments about WebM/H.264/Flash. They are completely self-serving.
I think if Gruber allowed comments on his blog, or had to talk about WebM vs. H.264 in an engagement, he'd have trouble shoving the pro-H.264 side of this debate down people's throats.
While he occasionally makes some valid points, Gruber tends to pick and chose which articles to post that'll support his esoteric rhetoric.
