Google Engineer Sponsors New Kinect Bounties

ashidosan writes "Hot on the heels of the Adafruit competition, Matt Cutts (a search spam engineer at Google) is sponsoring two more $1,000 bounties for projects using Kinect. 'The first $1,000 prize goes to the person or team that writes the coolest open-source app, demo, or program using the Kinect. The second prize goes to the person or team that does the most to make it easy to write programs that use the Kinect on Linux.'" Relatedly, reader imamac points out a video showing Kinect operating on OS X.

Can someone please explain what this "I'll be anti-Microsoft but praise Apple" thing is? I heard it on Slashdot where Microsoft is evil because they're closed and bastardly but despite that it is just as cool to be into Apple because they make even more closed end products even if they are glossy. Please someone enlighten me, why do I want to listen to this crap?
