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...
