Google engineering decrees platform wars over?

Has the Google engineering team decreed the platform wars are over? Apparently, Jeff Huber the VP of Engineering at Google, in his presentation at Web 2.0 made a pitch for developers to forget about platforms. Jeff pitched the vision of the programmable web. I assume that he means everyone should start using Google APIs. It’s hard for us to discern his exact point because we’re interpreting what TechCrunch wrote in a post.

Did someone just disclose that they don’t have a competing product in the pipeline? Is this a disclosure about the Facebook investment deal? The billion dollar question on everyone’s mind right now is if Facebook will announce an investment deal before the markets open tomorrow morning.
